Renee's Journey: Battling Illness and Debt
Donation protected
My name is Renee and I am on SSD that I paid for, for 30 years. I didn't plan on becoming disabled but after being rear ended by someone texting and driving it happened. I got approved in 2018 and my health deteriorated more. I have Lupus, Inflammatory RA, SFN, Asthma ect... I currently go to the cancer center twice a week for melanoma. I had surgery for esophagus and colon cancer last year and doing ok with that so far. After putting $800 in my old car and facing a $1000 problem again I bought a used car but now have payments. I still have a mortgage from getting a loan to fix my roof and siding after a storm. I maxed out my credit card to pay for my car tag and previous car repairs. My checking as you can see is overdrawn due to bills and paying my car insurance. I get $846 on SSD and $370 from DFAS. My house taxes are due no later than January and I don't know what to do. My house insurance is due in January for the year. Please if you can help/share I would be so grateful. It's cheaper to pay them for the year. It's $2141 for the house. I already paid the car one from my overdraft. I am still paying care credit for a vet bill. I made arrangements with them but it's still $106 a month. I do not receive food stamps because they said if I get rid of my car/insurance and not pay the credit card I would have money. Please, any amount will help. I gladly provide receipts of income. Thank you so much.
