We are a family of four in desperate need of help. Many of our friends know I am suffering from Clinical Depression and Anxiety Disorder with Panic Attacks. My condition is severe enough that there are days that I cannot get out of bed or leave my house. My husband is a diabetic. He had a job that was paying wonderfully, we were finally climbing out of the debt hole the loss of my job and the loss of his self-employment income three years ago caused (In 2009, when finances changed, we knew we had to keep the family together. We would have paid the same in rent that we did for our mortgage. We went though our savings keeping the family together). Unfortunately, the hours and shift at this job of his new job was causing his diabetes to deteriorate. He asked for a shift change and never got a response ... after four weeks of no answers and a few sick days due to diabetes complications, he was fired. He was able to start work a month later, but at a drastic pay cut. A whole month without pay, only one week of unemployment benefits, and a pay reduction cause a huge havoc in our bills. Now, we are barely scraping by, just enough to not qualify for assistance from the county/state but not enough to make ends meet. We have cut everything down to the basics - shelter, food, electricity, water, transportation for work. We have finally run out of wiggle room financially. Our power is due to be shut off Monday 11/5 and we are down to about three meals left in our house. We have two children, a 15 year old girl and a 13 year old boy. I am praying over this ... I do not know what I am going to do if we can not raise any funds. Please pray for us. We feel as if everything is being pulled out from under of feet after we have struggled so hard to keep it together.
