Not poor enough for assistance
Posted: Tue Jan 31, 2017 4:13 pm
My husband harvests timber for a living and we have had some very rainy weather over the last 4 months which has resulted in his not getting to work hardly at all during this time. I have student loan debt that payments were due to start in November 2016 but I haven't been able to make the first payment yet.
I finally went to work last week but only for minimum wage and we are so far behind on all our bills that I don't know if we will be able to catch up. My husband and I have 3 children, and I also look after my 93 year old grandmother (who doesn't live with me). Plus, my husband and I both have been sick a few times in the last months that required doctor visits for each of us and we don't have any type of health insurance nor is it offered to us through our jobs.
Our children do have Medicaid on them though. We need some help but I'm afraid that although we ARE poor/low income, that we will be told ONCE more that we aren't poor enough to receive any assistance. Any helpful information on exactly what is available in our area will be greatly appreciated. We live in Iuka, MS, located in Tishomingo County, MS. I need any and all info that you have for financial assistance, food assistance, student debt, health and dental assistance, energy assistance, grants, elderly assistance, just anything that might possibly help our situation. Thank you for your time.
