About Gmas_Angel

I am a 21 year old female girl living in california. When i turned 21 I put my life on pause.I dont go out, i dont live life anymore, for one reason though, and its well worth it. In my eyes family always comes first no matter what. I gave up an amazing job and left the coast and my whole life behind to move in with my grandma. My grandma is 77 years old. She has spinal stinosis a broken hip a pace maker and difibulator. The doctors want to perform surgery on her but they cant. Everytime they try to she goes into cardiac arrest.She has been on life support twice the past month for 3 days at a time. So she lives her life every day in pain. She cant do anything and she use to live on her own. IT made me sad that her daughters (my mom and aunt) couldnt come stay with her every now and again. So i said screw it and came to live with her. The only problem is, is that she needs 24 hour care. Her medical wont pay me to be her caregiver and i dont have time to work because i take care of her.  Im way behind on bills now. I have western dental,  chase bank, AIS  and some collections people calling me EVERYDAY.  Chase Bank called me 12 times in one day! I dunno what to do anymore. I owe my friend money i dont have money to pay my bills......... the list goes on and on. All i wanna do is pay off everything and pay my friend back the 400 dollars i owe her. But i DONT want to leave my grandma, i love her very much and we are so close. I'am her Angel :) Any ideas on what i can do ?

I need help to reorganize my financial status.

Hi,

My name is Kristi and I need to make a fresh financial start.  Last year my Grandmother lived with my husband and me for the last eight months of her life.  She had Alzheimer's and we were her care givers.  During this time, I lost touch with things and let some really important things slip my mind.  We own a small business in the town that we live in and when she moved in with us I started working from home.  I made some errors financially that has now left us in a real bind that I can not seem to get us out of.  My husband and I work hard and I am trying desperately to reorganize so we can begin our life again without the huge strain of financial distress that I have caused my family by letting myself get out of touch with reality while my Grandmother was with us.  Any help would be appreciated and once I get back on my feet, I vow to continue visiting this site helping others in my position.  I am in need of $8700.00 to catch up and get my head above the water so I can get back on track.  If financial help is not available then pray will be much appreciated.

Thank you for the time you took to read this.  God says that I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me.  I feel that he lead me to this site.  God Bless you all.

Kristi

I am 36 years old and have found myself in quite a mess.  My husband and I own and operate a small business in the town that we live in.  We have done well, but due to some errors that I have made while being away from the office caring for my Grandmother with Alzheimer's  we are in need of help to get our finances reorganized. 

We are believers in God and know that he will get us through this time in our life.  I feel he lead me to this site for help and where I one day can help someone in the same situation I am in now.  If you are unable to help financially a prayer would be much appreciated.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and may God Bless you and your family.
