I am a mother of 3, twins 12yrs, and a grown son who is 26. My family is going through some very tough times right now. I work about 35 hrs a week at a very strenuous job. I suffer with fibromyalgia, arthuritis,asthma, and hypothyroidism. My husband who usually works as a traveling trademans is suffering from depression which is getting worse. He cant work because he doesnt have the funds to locate out of state for work. Which costs about 800, for room, food, and gas for 2 weeks until his first pay. His truck is in Southern Ohio where it broke down 2 months ago, its fixed and sitting at a service station waiting for us to pick it up. My car is broken down with transmission problems. We have a cheap older model truck we are using to get around town. But I cant drive it because it is a stick. We have to move at the end of the month because we cant afford the rent. The family will have to split up to various family and friends homes, hopefully temporary. Thats the part that makes me cry, I've never been apart from my children. We have posted handyman helper ads on various web sites for my husband, but there are so many of them, you are lucky if you are chosen. We even tried selling some of our things, but that isnt working out either. It seems as though everything is falling apart. Please pray for us, I dont know how long I can bare this on going downfall.
