An Explosion at My Job Gave Me PTSD & Then I Was Diagnosed with Cancer. We'll Lose Our House Now!
My Story:
I have been married for almost 34 years and have a wonderful daughter who is 22. We live a simple life, mostly homebodies with an occasional 3-day fishing trip to a nearby lake. We have 3 rescue pit bulls: Tank, Stella and Rose.
In December, a large plant exploded at my job, causing many employees to be injured. After the explosion, I was diagnosed with PTSD, and since then, I have received only a tiny amount of disability income. Starting in of June, they will be cutting my minimal pay, so we will rely entirely on my husband's income. We have been preparing for this, but then a few months ago, I was diagnosed with invasive ductile carcinoma breast cancer. I started treatment just a few weeks ago and have 6 weeks of radiation after I finish. We have sold everything we possibly can, but our healthcare spending card has been entirely used up. I have been applying for jobs continuously with no luck, and this struggle surely has not helped my mental state. I am trying to keep a positive outlook, but it is hard without any help.
We are hoping Modest Needs would help pay our mortgage. I am scared of a big snowball effect that causes us to lose our home, which has been our pride and joy ever since purchasing it from my dad a decade ago. As I continue to apply for jobs, my husband will be able to keep us afloat, and I will be able to focus on taking care of my health. This help will save our home and keep our family going. We will never forget this help. Thank you.
