Please Help! - Wagner Family Facing Financial Crisis

Hello! Most of you already know us, but if you don't, my name is Joshua Wagner. My wife, Heather, and I, along with our two kiddos and our bestest boy, are in a very dire situation. Last year, my legs began to stop working at random. I would fall down, and eventually even started having seizures. Unable to work, we moved to Fort Wayne to stay with my family while I went to appointments and my wife worked. After having tons of tests and lots of appointments, it looked like doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong with me. In late January of this year, I was finally diagnosed with FND. This condition makes it very challenging to work right now, so my wife has become the primary source of income for our household.

Recently, we moved back to Indianapolis when my wife secured a new full-time job! We were very excited to be moving into our own home again! After all of the stress, fear, medical testing, and not even having our own home, it was nice to finally start getting some normalcy back into our lives. We even went out to dinner to celebrate the completion of her master's degree and the start of her new job. Things were truly looking up! But...it didn't end up working out so well...

Four days before my wife was set to start at her new job, the company (which I will refrain from naming right now) made multiple layoffs due to budget constraints. My wife's job was one of the positions cut. Four days before she was set to start...

This has been DEVASTATING for us! We just moved for this job! We purchased an entire wardrobe for her for this job! And it's GONE! Poof! We don't have the money to move again. We're locked into a new lease and we have bills that are coming up. My wife has been busy looking for a new job once again and, even with FND, I have begun to apply to jobs that I think I might be able to perform as well. But I have had far less success than her. My condition greatly limits what I am able to even apply for. She, on the other hand, has multiple opportunities right now. But nothing is secured. And even if she gets one of the jobs, we don't even have a start date. She won't be able to make enough to pay what we need, not in time.

We have an appointment with the county Trustees Office to help us pay rent, but that isn't until April 29th and we have no idea whether or not they will even approve us for aid. We have the money for our bills for April, but after that...we will be completely out of money. We are looking at the possibility of being homeless and losing EVERYTHING. I cannot even express in words how much weight we are now carrying. There have been many tear-filled prayers which are less conversation with God and more begging Him to give us some manner of breakthrough, some light, some relief, SOMETHING!

Our kids have been so happy to be living in our own home again, to have their own room. They've been talking about how much they love this home. And it kills us inside because it is currently on the line. We don't know if we will be able to keep it, or how we will even be able to keep our vehicle, since we won't be able to make our car payments. We are so, so, SO deeply stressed. And it's not even our fault...

We are on the brink of losing everything. I have added up all of our costs for the month of May, and the total comes to just under $2500. Our family needs help. We don't expect any one person to just give us $2500. But if everyone who knows and loves us contributes some, we are hoping that we can reach what we need.

Please, will you help our family? Will you donate to this cause, if not in the name of Jesus then from a heart of compassion? We are so close to losing everything, and even though we are putting in all efforts that we can, nothing is secure...and it probably won't be enough, not in time.

Please help us...
