I hate to come asking for help again, but we need a bit more help to get us through the summer months. With the girls out of school for the summer we are going through more of everything, and utility bills are up with the summer heat.
We thought things were finally going to start looking up last month, I’d gotten an informal offer on really great job, but then the day before they were supposed to be sending out the formal letters of intent I was contacted by the person I had been dealing with to let me know that the company was having to pull out of the contract, so there wasn’t going to be a job to offer me.
That really hit me hard. After all the rejections during my job hunt (even from things like seasonal garden center help at a hardware store and from run of the mill retail jobs) I finally had a glimmer of hope, but the light in the tunnel was apparently just another oncoming train.
With my MS and my wife’s CFS the past couple of years have been extremely hard (you can read more details in my older posts here, here, and here.) I have done everything I can to keep it together so that our girls don’t know just how bad things have been, but it gets harder with every passing week, and my mental health is wearing thin.
I’m still job hunting as much as I can, applying to every job that I could even remotely be considered qualified for, and some that I’m not, because what do I have to lose. But the last two weeks have been nothing but silence and rejection.
We fortunately are getting some money for food from SNAP right now, and have cut all our other expenses back as far as they can be. As it stands now utilities, etc run us about $500 a month, so we need around $1,000 to get us through the summer.
We’ve still got a YouCaring fundraiser set up, and it can still receive donations until July 31 when their merger with GoFundMe is complete. You can find it here. If you prefer PayPal you can find mine at
Whatever help you can provide; be it monetary, spreading the word, or just kind words of support; are greatly appreciated.
Thank you
