My friend wishes to remain anonymous, but these are her words:
I’m an over 50 year old single mother of a teenager. I have always had a good job and lived within my means. By 2002, my drug addict ex left me broke and in debt, but I rebuilt a life for my son and I with no child support or other assistance. We lost our home, furniture and all possessions to a flood in 2005 and started again from sctratch without insurance.
I was able to rebuild my life over and over because I had a good job and lived within my means, but I lost that job almost 3 years ago and have been unable to find a new one that will fully support my small family. Unemployment ran out over 2 years ago, I have applied for every available position in my field and have taken every PT job that will have me (not as easy over 50 as it was in my 20s!), My credit is maxed out, all retirement, college, savings accounts I ever had have been cleaned out, I’ve pawned or sold all my jewelry/possessions. I have finally exhausted all resources.
Because I lived within the budget my job afforded me (and a new job will again) I am not eligible for any public assistance, I'm waiting for a decision on the most recent interview I've had, but despite my best efforts, I’m now months behind on my rent, utilities and everything else and have nowhere else to turn. Your help for my family would be hugely appreciated.
Thank you!
