Widowed disabled father and son need help.

I am a recently widowed disabled father with a 3 year old son who also has health issues. We are in need of shelter and if possible, a vehicle. My wife passed away the day before fathers day this year and had totaled our only car into our trailer causing us to lose everything except each other, my son and I. We are currently staying at my 70 year old parents but due to their age and lil mans age, there is friction. We would love a farmhouse or cabin and I will do all the repairs that I possibly can to fix it up. I only receive 650 a month in disability so the most I could pay in rent is 375-400. We would like to stay in the Richmond, Chester, quinton area as my 3 year old son has his health specialists here. They are a rare and special breed, pediatric cardiologists and craniofacial doctors. Please pray about this and if anybody can help us, we would be eternally greatful. We have a bed for lil man and clothes and a few toys but that's it. We are a quiet and simple family. Thank you and may GOD BLESS this entire site and all who help somebody here.

We just need something, anything. Cabin, farmhouse, houseboat, anything. We just need a safe quiet place. Please.

Sjsmall, that's where part of our money comes from. He gets the same amount as I do. It's sad. A real disabled person and his son make 650 in two combined checks.

Have you contacted Social Security for your son? He should be able to get a surviors check every month. That should help you guys out. Sorry for all you are going through.

Im 38 and I have to wear ankle braces, knee braces, back brace, compression gloves and wrist guards just to stand and walk. I hate being all broken but I force myself to suffer through so my lil man has a playmate. I'm having to cut out meds of mine so that he has the things he needs. I can deal with the constant pain, if it's in me. Not with it causing him to suffer. There are times that I feel like a failure.

mommie817, thank you. I do to. i have been the hands on parent from second 1 and I need help. I was raised to never ask for help and this is so very hard for me but I cant think of me, I have to continue thinking of my lil bwitches. We just need help. It broke my heart having to tell him that his mommy was gone and it was just the 2 of us for now on. Seeing the tears fall from his face destroyed me. I hold it in and just keep doing for him but when you have nothing, there isnt much to provide.
