About 9 months ago, I was working 2 jobs and raising an 8yr old grandaughter. Things were going okay. Suddenly, a herniated low back disc stopped me in my
tracks. Because I couldn't do the work required I was forced to give up both jobs. After about 12 weeks, my back was to the point that I thought I could
work. I kissed my 8yr old grandaughter as I put her on the bus and said, "it's going to be a great day!" Before starting my job search I made a
trip to the post office, slipped on ice and had to be taken out by ambulance. I not only reinjured my low back, but now have a herniated disc in my neck! I
don't have insurance and can't seek medical care, and I can't get the post office to pay the bills from the fall.
Because of not being able to work I've fallen behind on my mortgage. They now want like $8000 to pay the arrearage and their fees before I could even begin starting to just pay the payment again.
In the 2 years that I've had my 8yr old grandaughter, she's only missed 2 days of school, her grades have exceeded expectations, and her self esteem is rising daily. She doesn't know anything about the house situation and I want to keep it that way so she can just concentrate on being a kid. This has been the most stability she's ever had in her entire life. So far I've depended on some of my kids to help us with groceries, and I'm babysitting for $300/mt. That keeps the bills at bay for the moment. I sold my good car and took the money to bring up the utility bills and such to date, to get the internet so I didn't have to drive (and because most places want you to apply online.), and with $1000 bought a little beater run-a-round car. I just started an online website in hopes that I can make some money from the advertising (http://www.heavenlypets.webs.com/ ) and I'm also a singer/entertainer (http://www.showcaseyourmusic.com/Fanci ) so I try to do shows to bring in a little money. Nothing I've done so far has helped me to get the money I need for the arrearage, but I know God is working in this and in his time I will see the answer to my prayers. I'm usually the one who's full of vim and vigor, ready and willing to reach out and help others, but this time the mountain is mine and I really don't know how to climb it. My baby girl needs our home and if I lose it I could very well have to let her go live in a situation she doesn't need to go back in to. I need your prayers and any assistance I can get because time is running out. I'm sure the foreclosure has already begun, but I keep thanking God for placing a hedge around this house, and for saving this house because I know he has. I tell him that I don't know when or how, but I believe in His word and he says He will deliver us from trouble. I'm standing on His promises! My baby girl is going to Colorado for the summer to spend time with family, but my prayer is that when she returns she will still have her room and her safe haven. I almost cried when she was packing some of her clothes and she packed the pictures off the wall, as though she felt she was never coming back. May God Bless us All.
