Last resort
Hello, my name is Debbie. Long story short 2 years ago I had two skull surgeries. I was living with a crushed Skull in the back of my head where spinal fluid was draining out of my ears. this was due to a bad relationship which I have long overcome and moved on from but the damage had not healed correctly. I was told there could be some memory loss but on average that comes back within a year or two. Some of my memory loss has not come back and I have had to go on disability and lost my job. I have tried various tests and treatments with little success so far. However, going from short-term disability to long term disability is not an easy task. My 21-year-old daughter has been working extra shifts and doing everything she can to support our household and at this point I haven't had any income in 9 weeks. Today my car was repossessed and the only money I had saved up for partial rent has now had to be applied to getting my car back out of repossession so that my daughter can go back and forth to work.
I don't see myself as someone asking for help. I am normally the one helping others. Whether it is food ,cash, a blanket,a jacket I absolutely have no problem sharing anything I have. But today I am on the other side.
With or without income I have not been late or delinquent on any of my rent, utilities or phone bills in the last year and a half even though I've been on disabilitie since last December. I am now in a position where I have no more funds available and I am on the other end asking for help. I am desperate and embarrassed.
If you have read this far thank you for your time and I am sorry for asking.
Debbie
