Hello,
I am a 57 year old woman and my fiance is 59. Our children are grown up but we have 6 little dogs. We are really struggling to make ends meet. But we are not making it. About 3 years ago El hurt his back real bad and couldn't work for a year and a half (no insurance). We refinanced the house and lived off the extra equity until he could go back to work. He went to a chiropracter who said he shouldn't do anymore roofing ever again but his and his son's business failed recently because of the housing crunch and no more work. But he did go back to roofing even with his bad back (he's up on one right now) but his boss is still getting his business together so El's not working on the books so to speak, so we can't refinace the house. We already borrowed money to keep from losing the house and took a loan (59% interest rate) to save it. We are at our wits end. We used some money to start an online business for me but with no money for advertising it is going nowhere. I work really hard every day doing all the free advertising methods but to no avail. We hardly have enough to eat. I know it is harder for people with children but our little dogs are our children if you know what I mean. We didn't plan on 6 dogs but we took in a stray and people wanted puppies so we let two of them mate and then the people couldn't take the puppies so we kept them. Now that we are so broke all the time it is getting really hard to feed them and get them medications. If we lose our house then they probably will have to go to the puond because where would we go with 6 dogs? We love them so much and they love us so much it will just break my heart if we can't stay here. I am not asking for anything just very depressed about our situation. I don't drive because I have had siezures. That's the reason I am home. I was working part time I rode my bike to work but got laid off. Business is bad here for everybody. I don't know I am just depressed.
Thanks to everybody just for listening!
