To Whom this may concern; I am writing to you hoping that you can help my grand daughter an myself.I am a single disabled grandmother that lives on a fixed income from month to month. It is so hard for me to make ends meet. I am trying to keep up the payments on my house,my roof is starting to leak bad an i can not afford to have it replaced.The rest of the house will be ok if i can get the roof fixed. I had a car but it has blowed up. Which i gave 400.00 dollars for it 5 years ago, so i cant complain about it. But it has run its last mile. I need transportation for medical purposes,an to have a way for my grandaughter in case she could have a medical emergency or if she gets sick at school or misses the bus. Or a way to go to the store. My phone has been shut off already,and my bills are pileing up more every month. I dont know which one to let go each month an which one to pay . Should i pay the Electric or water or the house payment or try to keep these bill collectors off my back. I draw Food Stamps but they dont last a month.Believe me i spend them very spareingly. I need help very bad !!I have a lot of medical problems an this stress sure aint helping none. I have sold about everything in my house in a yard sale just to try to make ends meet for another month. Now i have nothing left to sell an i dont no what to do. I worked 3 jobs a day to raise my children but got down sick at a early age andthe Doctors signed me up on my Social Security at the age of 29 yrs old. I never thought i would be raiseing a grandchild but no one knows what they will have to do through the years.I have checked all the organazitions around here an they say there is no funds to help us out.I have looked on the web sites to try to find some kind of help but ive got no response from anyone.I have lived in my home for 19 years an owe 13,000 on it, i sure would hate to lose my home over a roof. When the tornado came thru a few years back it did a lot of damage to the roof i tryed FEMA but they said it wasn't bad enough to fix. Since then it is in a lot worse shape. You can check my income an i have proof of where my money goes each month. As i said before i have bills that is long past due an i am doing the best i can. My Grandaughter an I draw less than 800.00 dollars a month . I am not able to work at all or i would be instead of living on a fixed income. I am so thankful that i have a understanding grandaughter. She wants to do things like other kids do at school but i can't afford to let her do things other children do in school. Thats really bothers me a lot, she is a very understanding little girl. She is a B & C student which i am very proud of. Its bad to know your child is stressing over things that a grown up is stressing over. We need some relief if there is anything at all any of you can do to help us. I am not wanting anyone to feel sorry for us, we just need help like so many others. I want to Thank you for taking time to read this an i will be looking for a response back. May God Bless each of you.
Sincerly
