hello,my name is debbie,i am 49 and the mother of three,ages,28,18,and 13.my son has moved in with his girlfriend and they have just had a child of their own and are just squeaking by to make it.my daughter tiffany and my little boy steven are home with me.their father and i had a pretty decent life and nice home until their father committed suicide in 2002,then everything fell apart.i was devasted,but my kids completely broke down.he had suffered from depression for years and i guess couldnt take it anymore.we held on to our home as long as we could,but about a year later we lost it,and we moved in with one of my sisters who was struggling herself.i babysat,cleaned houses,anything i could do to make ends meet,then got sick myself with diabetes and my ankles and feet stay swollen to twice their size now.i didnt want my kids around alcohol so we moved to my other sisters house,which is where we are now.we live off of the death benefit of 594.00 a month and rent comes out of that so we're left with about 100.00 a month for the three of us.my daughter was born without her left arm and she also has extremely bad vision and emotional problems.i never understood why ,because i never did any kind of drugs and i dont drink,but the doctors ,after running several tests told me it was 'gods will'. i am at my wits end as it is crowded here and my kids and i have very little privacy,and aside from food,they go with very little.i am not asking for a hand out,i am asking for a loan that i could possibly pay back with interest.please dont reply unless you are serious,thank you and god bless you.
