Struggling Family Needs Your Support

I'm at the end of my rope so here goes. The last year has been brutal financially. We were hanging on- paycheck to paycheck, unable to do much else so we deal with a leaky bathroom sink that no longer drains by using a large bowl and dumping it in the toilet, a leaky refrigerator, a garage door that won't open anymore with the remote, an ash tree close to the garage that needs removed that just keeps getting bigger therefore more expensive to have removed, a flat tire we keep filling up rather than replace, a car that has no working AC or heat (or working speedometer). But since the chaos created by tariffs and the prices of things going up my website sales have tanked, and they have been crucial to making up the difference between what life costs and what my full time job pays. Not to mention people's concern over whether they will have Medicaid or Medicare they need for themselves or family members. People are scared and not spending the way they used to. Which leaves ME scared and unable to spend to even pay my bills.

I've looked at every way I can borrow money, but that isn't an option. I have no family with money. I've worked full time at at least one job if not two since 1991. Bought a house when I had money from my Dad's life insurance because he always wanted me to have a house rather than rent- at that time, in 2009, it was a different world for me. Sales online for my website were steady and enough to make payments and pay bills and I did not see a time like this in my future.

If I can just get a little ahead of things, then pay things ON TIME, it would make a huge difference. I don't want a life of luxury. I just want to not cry myself to sleep every night.
