Hello, I'm Nome (or Shelby if you prefer my first name) I'm looking for help for my Dad Doug.
As of the last few years his health has been declining and has suffered multiple heart attacks (2-3) and has had 2 strokes. He has multiple stints and recently one of those stints caused a tear, which led to internal bleeding, thus more time off work because he was also on blood thinners at the time. As of right now his strength and overall health is improving but it has come at a cost. Three jobs, missed time, and now... his home.
This week dad landed a new job starting in 2-3 weeks, but will be working 7 days a week. In past years my sister and I were able to help support him on the rare occasion he bit his lip to ask us for help. Unfortunately, I live 1,200 miles away with my own family and am unable to do anything. I asked my credit union for a personal loan but was denied. It breaks my heart to watch this, as it has happened to him once before when I was a high schooler. Back then I worked for under the table money by painting homes and installing cabinets. If he ever missed a payment I had a month available to give. Our goal is to catch him up on payments so he can stay in his home and eventually make it to retirement age, just a mere 2 years away! After that maybe he can relax a little but we aren't home free yet. I will be working extra time at my second job in the meantime. Thank you for your time.
If anyone thinks they can help, even the smallest amount we are beyond grateful.
