A Hand Up For Mom
Donation protected
I'm not really sure how to start this one.
My mom is going through some pretty tough financial times. So I've decided to try to help her out by way of my friends and family.
She wants to sell her house so that she can move closer to me since she's in her mid-70s and wants to be closer to us.
But last year during hurricane season her house took on damages and the repairs were very costly. In addition to that she also had a fall that caused her to need surgery on her arm and now those medical bills are starting to pile up.
She's over $4000 behind on her house payments and can't seem to catch up as she only makes $800 a month and her mortgage is $900 a month. The home next her her has been abandoned for over 10 years and has lots of mold growing in and outside the structure which has caused her to be very sick for the last couple of years preventing her from being able to get a job.
She has borrowed money from her brothers and me on occasion but we're all kind of tapped out at the moment and I'm just out of options.
I want nothing more than to be able to help her out so that she's able to get out of there and hopefully get healthy and be able to be closer to me so that I can care for her if/when she needs it.
I struggled with the idea of doing a gofundme page at first because we're both pretty proud people and don't really want to come across as asking for a handout. But the bottom line is, I can't afford to really give her much more than what I've already given, and I just decided it couldn't hurt, and the worst thing that could happen is that nobody contributes anything and we just keep on truckin' and try to figure out a way to make it all work out.
So, if you're in any position to give even just a few bucks, I'd be eternally grateful for your help and support.
Thank you very much.
