GRANTED!

Wish Granted by: WishUponAHeroFoundation Dec 2, 2008

I WISH that my parents could get a gift card to go food shopping

My parents are struggling very bad. My dad had a stroke 2 1/2 weeks ago. He's very confused, disoriented, has vision problems, having problems reading and writing now. He just turned 64 on Nov. 16. My dad went back work a couple days later and is struggling very bad. He also works so hard to provide for my mother who can't work due to her health issues. Yesterday he just found out that his plant is closing down in January. My parents are going to lose everything. (health insurance, life insurance, the house) He can collect unemployment for a year, but that won't be enough for my parents to survive on. My parents also won't be able to afford to get their medications after all said and done. My dad takes 10 pills a day to keep him alive. Now what's going to happen? My brothers and sister and I are all helping out as much as we can, but it's hard with the economy so bad and we all have children ourselves. We are all struggling. All I'm asking for is anyone to help them get some food in the house. There living off spaghetti right now. They deserve much more than that. My dad has worked so hard and provided for his family all these years and it hurts me that we can't help him or my mom right now financially with everything. We can only do so much. Thank you for taking the time to read this. God Bless everyone.

    I am sorry to hear that...pls. go to the forums (ours) since there is a wealth of information there from heating help to medication help, I was just looking thru that today and was surprised.

    Has your dad applied for Social Security yet? Since he is 64 he is eligible for benefits. Also, have they applied for food stamps?
