About tgray1976

tgray1976 started this conversation

I am a 33 year old mother of 2 beautiful girls ages 4 and 10. I have become disabled and unable to work any longer due to many medical problems. I amstarting my 2nd appeal after being denied again. This time around I am going to have a lawyer. I have had my first phone conversation and the 2nd one is coming on Jan. 26th.   I am stuggling badly to make it month to month. im back to needing some help again. I really have no where else to turn and have exausted any help that was an option. I receive food stamps each month so we can eat, but I do not get any money at all. We have no luxuries, just the basic, phone, lights, car insurance , and household items including personal items. If anyone can help us out, It would be so appreciated and would lift a huge burden from my shoulders.  I feel alot of guilt right now , not being able to care for my girls in the way i always have. Its a real uncomfortable feeling to be skimming by. I just dont know where else to turn.

 

I love my girls very much but I cant do this alone right now, I need some help from up above. If you cant help, please at least keep us in your prayers and I will do the same for all of you. Thank you and God Bless you all !!

Tgray1976. We are the same age going through similar situations. You are in my highest prayers. I feel your pain. I hope everything works out for you. As far as your disability, keep fighting. That is there job to keep denying you. You will get it and things will work out. Just continue to pray and fast. Every since I have been fasting, I have seen changes. My fast is a morning fast. I give up breakfast. i don't eat until 1pm everyday. I just drink water and juice. I'm only doing it for a week. It doesn't have to be a food fast. Just take one week and give something up for the ALMIGHTY. You will see the change. You have to pray and then be thankful and praise everyday. Be encourage and keep going on.

I looked over your blog today and my heart goes out to you. I to am going through a difficult situation, and understand the feelings you have. I pray that God will heal your body, give you peace, watch over your children and make you happy again. The 23rd Psalm says we walk through the valley of the shadow of death. The key words hear is that we walk through, we do not stay there. God is leading us by the hand, and He will minister to your needs. You are in my prayers.

While I cant offer financial assistance I can offer you my friendship. I know too well what its like to be stuck in a no win situation.  I too am in one and is so hard to find the motivation to do what it takes to make a change.  I dont know if I can help with any household items as Im also doing without but if are desperate for anything in particular please let me know and I will keep my eyes and ears open. Who knows maybe I will be able to help with something, you never know if you dont ask right? I wish I could offer more help but please dont hesitate to drop a line even if it is to vent.  I just found this site that someone posted nonprofitweb.com on the front aid page.  I have found a lot of good leads and am praying that they turn out.  GOOD LUCK AND GOD BLESS

Is there anyone out there that can help pay some bills for me and my girls. Lights, car insurance, phone, household items and i could use a few undergarmets. I am in the appeal process for disability and only recieve food stamps. I dont necessarily need u to send me cash, I will give out account #'s and all payments can be made direct.

We are out of shampoo, soap, laundry soap, dish soap, on our last roll of toilet paper, my personal items are needed shortly. Any help we can get would be so appreciated. I have faith that i will recieve the help we need, I know that somewhere here there are lots of angels that would love to help but need to find the right people to help. I am sincere in my need for help and I hope you will see that.

Just send me a message if you have any questions.

Times are really tuff right now for me, I am not use to being without and neither are my girls, but they go day to day with really no complaints. They understand that this is not my fault and that i am doing the most i can do for them. My heart aches for them because I never know what is to come of us. Will we get help or will we not. The last 2 months we have had help and I again will pray that the lord is listening to my prayers. He knows im in need and he knows  I have worked hard my whole life and have always been a giver every chance I had. He sees that now all the favors for others i have done can be returned to me, well this isnt for me , this is for my kids, any help i get is to help my girls live day to day. I myself would not be asking for help if it was just me.

Thanks for reading and god bless

I just want to say that I appreciate all the nice people here, with all of the kind words that i have had here since i started posting.  I feel that people do actually care for one another. There are people that arent so nice, that judge you because you are needy, dont let them bother you, keep posting.

Unfortunatley I have just been denied the Social Security Disability that i applied for. I now have to file an appeal and chances are that i will have to hire a lawyer to help me with this. I do know that when i get a lawyer that he/she does not have to be paid up front, he/she will deduct their money out of my check if and when i get it.

I dont understand how social security can deny just about everyone on their first application. I dont know why they would want to do this. To know that they are just making it harder on us. Why would people want to intentionally hurt anyone in this way, especially when the disability is obvious.

My light bill is due soon, they have put me on a payment arrangement of 175.00 plus my current monthly bill for each month. Thats going to make my lightbill about 260.00 every month. I dont know how i am going to do this, it is getting warmer now and they will shut me off. We cannot live without lights, how do they expect us to do that? How do they expect us to pay any bills?

I need a break from these darn bad times. Maybe i will just give up all together. Maybe i will just try to get the girls dad to come home. He could work but i would have to deal again with all the mental and physical abuse. Maybe i just blow my brains out and escape this headache. I cant take much more, I cant keep going like this. My daughters dont deserve this and neither do I. Is this what a person gets for working hard and paying taxes. I just wish all these bill would go away. Not to mention the shape this trailer is in. Yeah its a home to live in but windows have no glass, the floor is rotting out of it, we have so much mold in this place, the kids bedroom roof leaks every time it rain or snows. the rain has damaged it so much that the actual ceiling is gone on half the room and the only thing you see is the metal roofing. The mold in the bathroom and under the kitchen sink is probably very poisonous, the floor around the toilet is getting very mushy and i expect the toilet to fall through the floor sometime. I have already went through the floor in front of the toilet and bathtub. I fixed it by throwing a piece of chipboard over the hole and screwing it down, its beginning to get soft now too.. This is a 10' by 60' foot buddy trailer, and if someone ever came in here they would make us get out of it. We would be on the streets.

My car is fixed but i cant get it. I owe him 235.00 now and no way to pay for it. It is so depressing to think of all these things again. They dont ever stop, I am not asking for any help, I am just telling of my problems, if God leads an angel to me, then he does , otherwise i dont know what road i will be taking, but once again the dark tunnel has no end!!!  May God be with you all and maybe show me a little more attention for i am in need of it right now. I hurt so bad and see no road away from it all.
