Casaundra Bower hasn't added a story.
My name is Casaundra Bower also known as Cassie. I am in a terrible financial bind I just need some help with bills, gas, medications, etc. untill my boyfriends disability starts which could be another 1-3 months. Our electric is presently due to be shut off this month. AEP is a very difficult company to get help on this. I just don't know what to do at this point.
I have made a terrible error in judgement. I am on disability only $816 a month. Not enough to make it here in Florida and I would not have moved here but I wanted to help my brother who had aged terribly in a short time and he really wanted to move to Florida. I couldn't see him doing this alone with his health so I offered a soulution. My boyfriend and I, whom I have been with 20 yrs, had lived here in Florida many years ago and was happy but moved home to be close to aging and unhealthy parents. I have longed to move back. I proposed to my brother we could all move together and share the expensive cost of living here and I would help him with his health issues. This is what we did. It was a very hard and stressful move. After being here for 2 & half months, on Thanksgiving Day my brother walks out in the yard and stuck a gun in his mouth and shot himself. I was sitting on the lanai having my morning coffee and planning the day when he came out I had absolutely no idea what so ever his plan I saw nothing out of the norm I thought he was going for a walk until I saw him to the side of the lanai where I sat before I could ask what are you doing he turned put his hand up as to say "see ya' and quick as lightening did the deed.
It has been pure hell living here since. This just set the tone. We planted a flower garden in the yard where my brother died to help take the image out of our mind every time we took the dogs out We had intended to sell out right away and move home to Ohio but my boyfriend had an application for his disability pending and did not want to go till his hearing was scheduled.
We have manged to keep a float for awhile. There was some money left to me by my brother which helped with lot rent. Once that ran out we have pawned and sold everything we could to keep up with bills. We still continue to try to make things to sell to suppliment the income until my boyfriends disability comes thru. I have exausted all resourses and just need some help till this mobile home sells and we can move home to Ohio. Selling it is hard right now plus only have the free goverment phone with so many minutes and that makes it hard for people to contact me with inquiries about it. A rock and a hard place I don't know what else to do at this point
