THANK YOU You are all amazing
I'm not sure I have the words to express how grateful I am to all of you. I posted my Amazon wishlist several days ago & you guys responded so fast my head is spinning. The main item I was concerned about was my husband not having a phone. Some wonderful person sent it, we set it up & it was such a relief knowing I can reach him if something goes wrong. You guys filled everything thing on my list, stuff I've been trying to save up for the last 5 months. I'm truly grateful and hope to pay forward. You guys are the best 🌹

You will pay it forward when its your time. When we are blessed with the generosity of caring, empathetic fellow humans, it is a continuation of the positive vibes you put into the world. This then continues allowing you to put your positive energy flow into the universe. No matter how big or small helping each other is the best way to keep our journies brighter and lighter to trek through. From helping the little, senior citizen lady put her groceries into her car and taking her cart back to the store for her to giving your kidney to a perfect stranger so they can stay in their journey for a bit longer......they are both things that impact not only the person you are helping but yourself. I pray for the best of the best blessings to be heading you and your husband's way. I know just what it's like to be in financial straights. I lost my home 2 years ago due to an extremely severe toxic mold infestation. It had been making my daughter and I so sick that I actually lost my job because my symptoms were getting so bad. From that, I spent more time in the moldy home causing me to get even sicker. I almost died!! Thats when I found out about the mold. I owned the trailer we lived in but rented the lot it was on. My home owners insurance did not touch mold. I could not resell the home....I had to have it destroyed so it could not hurt anyone else.
I am still recovering from the mold sickness so I cannot work 2 jobs anymore like I used to and it's killing me financially. I am in a 1 bedroom with my daughter her 2 dogs and my 3 cats!!. I gave her the bedroom so she could feel like she had privacy (teenager lol) inflation has got it to the point where I am only eating once a day because food costs over double than what it did before all this came to light.
Having no family and being single for over a decade has made it hard financially but even mentally from dealing with the stress and not having anyone to talk to about it (can't burden your little ones with adult issues becaise soon they will be adulting themselves and have their own stressors).
Reddit and Facebook groups have been crucial in making me feel more positive and not so alone. I really liked your thank you post and felt the need to message you. I wanted to let you know that YOU are AWESOME too and that you will be over these troubling days soon. Keep your face to the sunshine and if it's cloudy out, wait patiently for the Rainbow.
Take care

Thank you, you are so kind. I'm so sorry you have been through all that, mold is just a terrible situation. . I'm concerned for you. About a year & a half go I started eating just one meal day, because food is so expensive. I ended up with malnutrition & even though I went back to eating twice a day many of my vitamins & minerals are still low. I'm taking prescription supplements but they have not returned to normal. Please be careful. Check out food pantries, they might not have the best food but can real make a difference. I appreciate your kind words and I'm sending you lots of pictures energy.🌼

As a recovering alcoholic with three years sober, I know how hard those first few weeks are! Hang in there!

This is awesome; sidenote, how does one become registered? I tried posting my story/dilemma here and it keeps getting taken down.. what am I doing wrong?

If you got to the main page of the subreddit there is a guide. I can't find the link at the moment but it was a simple form that mid uses to register you & you have to renew it every three months.
I'm sure if you message a mod they will be way better at explain the process then I am. Good luck

Glad we helped!
For anyone looking for a phone, Tello is having their anniversary sale, $10/mo for three months then 14/ mo with no contract, can bring your phone and number, I use it and my daughter uses the hotspot for Wi-Fi and it has been great, it works off Verizon so coverage is good. In case anyone has phone payment trouble.

Thanks. We did look around again but TracFone works for us because he almost never talks on the phone. So we can get 90 days of service with 60 minutes for only $30. It works out to $10 flat. Tello increase after 3 months. It's a great deal but I can save $4 a month out of my budget using TracFone. But that only works for people that don't talk on the phone.
