I had to quit my job

Post by Eckhard »

To Whom it May Concern:
I'm not sure what I'm supposed to say here but I was given these email addresses and told I may be able to get some help.
M significant other and I are in need of any and all help we can get right now.
I had to quit my job as a Recovery Peer Support Specialist (recover coach) close to 2 years ago due to several health issues, both physical and mental.  As a result of me quitting my job, our financial situation has become pretty awful. To make things worse of late my S/O works has been very slow. He works as a First Aid/CPR instructor and is paid per class based on the number of students he has.
We lost the condo we had been renting for close to 5 years back in December of last year as we just couldn't keep up with the rent. Since then we have been staying in a single room at an extended stay hotel. We are at a point where we are no longer going to be able to even stay here unless some kind of financial miracle happens for us.
I just had surgery a week ago that will hopefully bring me closer to getting back to work, but we aren't there yet.
This is where we stand, as of right now we literally have $4 and some change. I am receiving SNAP benefit and I will get this month’s benefits tomorrow, thank God. But honestly it gives us about $25 a week for food and does not allow for anything other than food, like personal need such as toiletries.
We pay to stay here at the hotel on a weekly basis and we will have to pay for the next week on Thursday. My S/O gets paid the same day. Even using his entire pay we will only be able to secure 4 days here.  That leaves nothing for gas to get my S/O to and from his classes or any sundries we may need.
On top of all of this my daughter just returned from school in NY and has not gotten herself established yet. I know she is 22 and an "adult" but I would be lying if I said she doesn't need our help. Help we cannot give her right now. Thankfully she is able to stay with a friend for now and she is diligently seeking a job so hopefully she will have bit better off soon.
All that being said I think it's pretty clear that we are beyond desperate since I quit my job. I don't know if there is anything you might be able to do to help relieve is even a little bit, but I have to take the chance and ask.
Regardless of whether there is anything you can do for us or not, I appreciate you taking the time to read this email.
Thank you and God bless.

Single mom of two boys who had to quit my job. We are in a rental home needing help with rent and utilities. My 14 year old son has been in and out of impatient for mental health reasons and I haven't been able to work because I have to be home with him when he isn't in programs. He has to be watched by an adult for safety concerns and that is why I had to quit my job.  I'm trying to get a case worker lined up for our family so we can have the resources to get home health aide to come to my home, so can work. But in the meantime, I'm am needing help with rent and electric and fuel oil bills.  My rent is $845 a month, electric is $58.00 and fuel oil is $203.00.
Please let me know if you can help our family.
My boys are ages 11 and 14.  Their biggest Christmas wish is to not have to move.

We think a 14 year old can apply for disability,which they may help you and home pay the bills. And you did not need to quit your job, you could have applied for FMLA while you take care of the kid and get long term support. Anyway, here are resources for your county. https://www.needhelppayingbills.com/htm ... ogram.html

35 years old with family of 5. I became disabled in 2012 due to colon cancer and had to quit my job. We don't receive enough to pay our basic cost of cost of living. We even are unable to pay our utility bills in full or buy any Christmas for our 3 children. My husband is physically disabled and in process of applying for SSI as he too quit the job. Our basic utilities are in process to be cut off and we received no help from agencies to provide any needs for Christmas for our children.
