Is there a charity that can help us?

Question

I have been laid off from work. We already filed bancruptcy a year ago and was struggling to make our trustee payments, now that I've lost my job it will be impossible. I have a wife and four kids, a home we will lose, a vehicle we will also lose. My wife works 40+ hours a week, I am looking for work but untill something happens we are in financial desperation. My youngest daughter has very severe ashma, she has been hospitalized several times. The medicine and doctor bills are unmanagable since I also lost medical coverage with my employer. Is there a charity or something similar that might be able to help us?

Answer 1

You don't need anyone to tell you that you're kind of up the proverbial creek without a paddle, so I would just like to ask if you are eligible for unemployment?  Usually, if you're laid off, you can draw it.  Please check it out.

About your medical coverage and bills (sorry about your young daughter who has asthma)...this is the kind of situation where you should be entitled to some sort of "social assistance," but you will likely be penalized because you're a homeowner.  I pray you have public transportation in your area because if you lose your car, neither your wife nor you will have a way to get to work -- even if you can afford the price of gas in this country!

My friend, I will say prayers for you and your family.  I believe everything happens for a reason and that prayer does indeed work!  Does your family attend church and are they aware of your plight?  There is help available...finding it is the difficult part.  God bless you!

Answer 2

i would definately encourage you to file unemployment  as for your child  at  social services they do have  a number where you can call for low income families that dont qualify for  medicaid. also  go to your local churches they should be able to help you.
