This hasn't been the best year for us. Andrew had to leave his job back in February due to on going illness. They gave him a parting package of 6 weeks pay and a month of insurance. It was enough to keep us a float till he could be healthy enough to look for work. In March he was healthy enough to look for work and had accepted 2 job offers. Unfortunately, the hospitals that hired him froze all hiring contracts. He didn't receive another job offer till June when we officially were -500 in our bank account.We have applied for financial aid through both DES unemployment and the covid relief funding back in May. We were asked to provide the same information 3 separate times and did so just to be denied by them saying they never received the information. I tried to fight it but my youngest son Aiden began experiencing severe numerological issues. Personally this has been the worst struggle. I have been experiencing seizures, muscle weakness, blindness, bell's palsy, confusion, heart palpitations... while trying advocate for my son's health and handle our bills we owe. Our mortgage company refuses to work with us or offere true relief till we were 2 months behind and they are still not giving us true relief. Andrew started his job training for PCU/ICU nurse position. Promised a sign on bonus which would help catch us up on our bills. His first night on the ICU floor he was sent home for covid symptoms. He worked only 40 hours this month and that bonus never came. He was considered recovered from covid on Monday 7/27 but today spiked a fever and extreme symptoms. We have $40 in cash and negative 500 in the bank. My phone is ringing off the hook today being we made promises to pay on this date. Only a few bills are working with me but the rest are not. I am required to prove to state that we won't receive income for August to be put back on food stamps but Andrew is too sick to get that information and the employer won't work with me on his behalf. My AC unit is acting up on my house. My dryer broke this month. We all have doctor appointments and tests we have to do but won't have gas money. I am exhausted. I feel this world wants us to loose everything being all the bad luck going on. I hate asking for money. I asked the government for help and was turn down. This isn't how health care workers and their families should be treated when they put their lives on the line for this pandemic. I just need a miracle to happen cause that's what we are left with being nothing has come through like planned for months.
