Homeless for the Holiday...No presents needed...just a roof over our heads

homeless4holiday started this conversation
Hello, I first appreciate your time just reading my post. There are no small kids involved in our situation...it's just me and my husband. I work 2 hours a day 1-5 days a week and this is our only income...My husband is fighting for disability again. Just 4 years ago we were buying our 1st home, I had a great job, 2-3 vehicles and we were well on our way to a real life, when a tragedy struck and our 15 year old son was killed in a car accident. At this time, we had been clean 6 years from any and all drugs.....My husband and I and our 14 year old son did the best we could to continue our lives without our 15 year old. The pain is just as sharp today and never ending. Within 6 months I lost my job, our home to foreclosure and just 9 months ago our last vehicle. Our 14 year old son has since turned 18 and moved in with his girlfriend and working toward graduating this May. His dad and I are still homeless.... We did make some mistakes along the way with our past addictions but are ready to put everything into making a life for ourselves. We live in a small town where I cannot get a better job, no vehicle to get back and forth to the next bigger town and no roof over our heads. We have stayed a few nights with this one or that one until they could no longer help because they were endangering losing their own homes. We will go to any and all lengths to be given the chance to have a place to live. We continue to struggle terribly on a daily basis with our loss but have found a way to face the next day and then the next day. I do have a rat-terrier/chihuahua that I don't want to get rid of. She helps us both in our time of pain and suffering. She was abused before coming to us 2 years ago and we have made such a better life for her. She has enriched our lives also...I don't know what I would do with out her. If I had to give her up...it would break my heart and her's. She does not function without me....she gives up, won't eat...won't play....won't function. She is a wonderful dog who sleeps with me, is housetrained and does not chew on anything. We are not asking for anything extravagant....just a room where we can sleep...somewhere to store a lil food and prepare that food and a place to shower and take care of ourselves....... I will find a better job and find us permenent living arrangements asap........so if u can help in any way....we appreciate....Thank you
