I don't want to burden anyone with my problems, but I do need your prayers please.
As many of you know, my husband had a stroke in January, and I believe he's has several smaller ones since then. He is so limited in use of his right side that many days he cannot even pick up a glass of tea. He falls down repeatedly, causing further injury. With all of that being said, obviously he can't work. His business at this point is dissolved (home repair), as he can't do the work and we don't have the money required to pay for insurance to employ others.
I have been looking for a decent paying job since his stroke, to no avail. I have send out hundreds of applications and resumes, with no job prospects.
I have to pay Child Support and had to go to court in April because I fell $700 behind (that's hundred, not thousand). I worked at a fast food place for a couple of months, busting my ass for minimum wage. I was scheduled for a lousy 15 hours a week, and child support was taking $100 per paycheck, leaving me with less than $200 per month. Still I worked until my car was repossessed and I couldn't get there on certain days. (10 miles from where I live, with no bus service after I was scheduled to get off work.) The manager cut me to 4 hours per week. I was offerered a student worker position at the school I attend so I quit fast food and took the job. It's minimum wage, but it's 25 hours a week. That's the only job I've been able to acquire.
Taking all of this into account, our internet will be shut off in the next 48 hours, we will lose our phones within the next week, and I've fallen further and further behind on child support. When I went to court in April, the judge gave me until October 13th to catch it up. October 13th is my sentencing, and I don't know what will happen, whether I will go to jail or just get probation. All I know is I don't have the money, and I don't have any way of getting it.
I AM still attending college full time, and I still carry a 4.0 grade average. I have 9 months to go before I get my associates degree in computer networking.
Tomorrow morning the apartment complex I live in will file for forcible eviction because I have not yet paid this month's rent. No, they don't give any breaks, and no, they don't care about the circumstances. They've told me this.
My checking account is $170.00 overdrawn and I have $2.37 in cash. I have no credit cards.
So, you see, I really need all the prayers I can get, because we have nowhere to go, no money and no real hope. My husband sinks further into depression daily. I have moments, but the bright side is swiftly dissipating.
Thank you for listening. I love you all!
