My name is Mary Cowley and I have 2 kids. My husband died 4 years
ago and things have been very difficult on us. In the last few
years we have been trying our hardest to get by. I am disabled and
I can't work and my oldest child has been trying for months now and
hasn't had any luck. He will go out several times a week looking
for a job. My daughter who is my youngest is still in school and is
not 18 yet and we don't even have the money to get her a permit to
work. We never have money anymore to even get food or something to
drink not for ourselves and not for our animals. We truly need a
miracle. The only income we get is from my disability now and we
used to get social security every month but they have now stopped
sending us that check. So now we will only be getting 1800 dollars
a month at the most. Our rent is $700 and then that leaves the
power bill, water bill, phone bill, etc. Once the bills are paid we
are usually left with about less then a 100 dollars. This all
happens at the beginning of the month so every month has been
absolutely wretched. I am desperate right now and I don't know what
to do anymore. My wish is that we won't be in such a terrible place
anymore. I can see us being homeless within the next few months and
I want my kids to have a future. With how things have been going
these last 4 years my kids have developed depression and feel like
there's no hope. I want to give them the life that they want but I
can't when everything is just going so horrible. I really need a
miracle and need help so badly. I'm at my wits end and I feel like
i'm going crazy. I am begging for help at this point and I truly
wish that I can at least give my kids a future and give them hope.
I am hoping someone out there will read this and feel the kindness
in their heart to help in anyway. My wish is to just get help
whether it's food or drinks or even 5 dollars. Anything will help
at this point. Thank you.
