Help With Trash Service Bill

My Story:

I am a single parent raising a six-year-old boy. He is a very wonderful young man. I truly wish things could be different for him. I know that he is very happy here with me but being a first time parent, the long term is always on my mind. I am so thankful for places like this because even in my situation it is hard to ask for help. It scares me even more if I didn't.

I was in an auto accident in May of 2008, and then I was kicked by a horse in November of that same year cleaning stalls to try to earn extra cash to pay bills. My son was there and witnessed it all. I am so thankful that things didn't get any worse than they did. I applied for disability due to my L4, L5, & S1 being damaged because of all of this. I was left with some expensive hospital bills but they have been understanding so far. I had been laid off work before the auto accident with no Health Insurance. Thank Kansas for HealthWave.

Ooooh! my son is beside me and wants to say hello. Sorry for that, back to my story. I purchased a house for 3,000 dollars after receiving back payment from disability of which is paid out every six months. It is a fixer-upper but it will be ours to call home. This brings me here.

This is a bill that has occurred by replacing the Roof. I have to wait for another payment to proceed with the house and need my monthly SSD payments to pay my present rent. So any help would be greatly appreciated! I was enrolled in vocational rehab to retrain for a new career but had to do a medical drop because I needed surgery on my knee. Thank you,
