My name is Barbara and I hate doing this.

I have a well paying job and a wife who also has a well paying job, but I've been seriously ill on and off for years now. I've missed months and years of work, tried to go in short and long term disability, and been denied twice.

In that time... well, you know how it is. Bills add up, compound, credit score goes down, and somehow you end up here.

We've accumulated a stupid amount of debt just trying to keep afloat, and now we're at the point of needing help.

Yesterday I went to the hospital again, unable to breathe due to what I guess was sickness turning to bronchitis that ended up in my asthmatic lungs. I'm okay today, but I need to recover and sort out everything... and I just can't do that with our financial situation getting worse every time I can't work. It's a vicious cycle and I'm sick of it.

Anything will help. If it would hurt you to donate, please don't! Times are tough for us all and I don't want to hurt anyone else.

Thank you all for reading.

Love,

Barbara
