I am not good at asking for help, but here I am. I am not sure how I found this website, but I guess it is fate and it is time to come forward and just ask for help. I am a young widowed single mother(my husband unexpectedly passed away several years ago from cancer. I have been trying to dig out of the hole ever since, but just get nowhere. I am going in circles and need to get out. I have maxed my credit card out paying for everyday life and for rehab for my middle class, college son after he finally hit the wall with loosing his father. (We never really know how it affects our kids until it happens). I am drowning in debt, have an absessed tooth that has had three root canals in the same tooth in the past three weeks and they still cant seem to find where the pain or swelling is coming from. (Oral surgeon is next, but I cant afford it.) I JUST WANT TO GET OUT OF DEBT!!!! I would be so grateful if someone could help me, even if it is just a little. Anything at this point would help me! Believe it or not, I never really had a strong faith until my husband died. I do believe that everything happens for a reason; I haven't figured out what this reason is, but I feel I have been tested enough. I just need a little breathing room to move on....If you can help me or have any suggestions, please email me at BOSK22@aol.com

I am a good hearted person whose husband was taken unexpectedly,  too early by cancer. I am an includer.  If I realize someone is new to a situation I try to bring them in and make them feel as if they have been  a part of the crowd  forever.  I have a child who has finally dealt with loosing  a father, years after the fact. (I might add that 2 years of out of state tuition for college was thrown down the toilet)  He had lots of therapy offered to him, drugs by others and finally hit the bottom.  He is now, (I hope) on the road back. It is a struggle everyday.  I have leveraged ( thank god for high limit credit cards) everything to help him go to rehab when he said he was ready and now I must help myself. However,  I am not good at asking for help, but I felt this was a safe place to go.
