My name is Jane Kurtz and my husband is Bill. We live in a small town in central Kentucky. I'm 63 and he is 59. For the past 3 years we have been struggling financially and physically. I can't afford health insurance and I have several issues with my health and they are getting worse. I suffer from depression, anxiety, high blood pressure and high cholesterol and the arthritis in my hands are so bad I'm losing my grip. I have also been diagnosed with a meningioma in my brain. I also currently have plantar fascitis in my right foot and it makes walking very painful, without being able to see a doctor it just makes me even more anxious. I really need to see a doctor but can't afford it. I am currently working part-time at a nursing home in the laundry making$11 an hour. There isn't much else I can do because it's just physically impossible. My husband also is dealing with physical issues as well. He has arthritis and problems with his knees and hands. He recently fell on the ice and broke his wrist and had to have surgery. So he can't work . Currently we are living off of my paycheck and my social security, it's around $2000 a month. We have fallen behind on our rent and we are scared we might be evicted. We've both worked hard all our lives and can't believe we might be homeless. That scares me so much. We are also behind on other bills. We live in a small town and have been relying on the food banks here and I'm extremely grateful for them.
We're trying to find a less expensive place to live but rent around here is $1000 or more a month and of course they want a deposit plus first months rent.
We've always worked hard but having to ask for help is really hard. We don't have any family that can help us. If we could raise enough money to catch up on all of our bills it would be such a blessing.
I pray that I'm doing the right thing by doing this.
God bless you if you can help us.
The money we raise will be solely used for bills.
March 2nd, we have received our eviction notice, not sure what to do now.
At my age, homelessness is the scariest thing I've ever faced. I've never wanted a fancy house or car, just a roof over my head and food on the table.
Please help us if you can. Thank you and God bless
