Just to start this page... I do not usually ask for help and I am a very prideful person so this is really hard for me to even ask. We do not have any gov. assistance and have been on our own since the begining. But the saying "When it Rains it Pours" well thats us. At the end of January when, hopefully, we are back on our feet, I want to pay it forward by donating some of our tax refund to someone on here. But until then here is our story: Recently I have been hit hard with medical bills and they became so far behind and they weren't getting what they wanted so I now have a garnishment on my paycheck. I have 2 children (1 and 3) and I live with my fiance of 7 years. He is very stuborn and would rather live in a car than ask for help. He tries so hard but he had back surgery 1 month ago and cant return to work for another 2 months. We would of had disability insurance but it canceled him 6 months ago due to a lung issue. So here is my problem. Due to the garnishment of 40%, my car insurance is 2 months behind ($160) and My car payment is 1 month behind ($187) My water is $98, My gas is about to be shut off on the 5th of December ($85)Electric is on disconnect ($80) My phone is behind 2 months ($319) which is how I make some extra money selling things on ebay(which averages out to be about $25-30/month), and now rent ($780) is due on the first of December and we currently have $51.00 in the bank. For us to get out of the red this month it will take $2000 dollars! I am not asking this from any one person but I am begging (remind you, I am not a person that begs but I am desperate) small amounts from many. In order for me to get to work this week I am only spending $30 on groceries for a family of 4. Little lone think of Christmas coming! I don't know how that is even going to happen. I have been trying to make things work but I have only been coming up short. We don't smoke, drink, or buy things we don't need so our money only goes to the important things. If you can help I would be so thankful! I am humbled that there is even a site out there for this kind of thing. If you can't help please all I ask for is your prayers that everything will work out okay. Thanks for looking and have a Happy Holidays! Remember I will pay it forward.

I am a hard working stay at home mom who works in the evenings doing clerical work at a dentist office. My Fiance works so hard (almost 80 hour weeks) but has recently been put on medical leave due to back surgery. We have 2 beautiful daughters ages 1 and 3 that are hoping Santa comes this year. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask!
