stroke victim

Losing My House

My mother had a stroke in November of last year.  Since then, she has been back to work, but in a limited capacity and she's not able to work as many hours as she used to.  We have fallen behind on our property tax payments.  We have been told that if we can't pay off the tax in full before October, the county will take our house.  We've already taken out a loan to pay as much of the tax as we can, but we're still over $2000.00 dollars short.  Both my mother and I work and we're trying as hard as we can to keep up with all the bills, but we just can't.  I'd greatly appreciate any help that anyone could give.

Full time caretaker for my husband who had a stroke and is unable to work

Hello Everyone:  I am a full time caretaker for my 48 yr's old husband who suffered a dibilitating stroke.  I had to quit my job and try to work from home as much as I can.  Our bills are overwhelming and I cannot believe we are in this position at such a young age.  I am so tired, but I must go on. 

Once insurance in maxed out his therapy stopped and his RX coverage as well.  I am in real trouble and I truly cannot leave him  alone to go to work full time.  I have never had to ask for help before, but I am now.

 

Please Please help me to care for him

My wife had a massive stroke 2 years ago in the Pontine area of the brain which left her confined to a wheelchair unable to move or do anything for herself.  2 months after the stroke our medical insurance was cancelled , they claim that we no longer qualified for coverage. We're still fighting that.  I've ended up providing care for my wife and trying to do physical therapy as well.  We've found a treatment that could help her regain some movement and possibly get back some of her life but it cost $25,000.00.  We're trying to save all we can but I'm afraid it's just not going to be enough.  My beautiful wife was only 49 when she had this terrible affliction and I hope that someone out there can help us.
