I am living in a small town that has limited resources or employment. I have t be employed forty -miles form home. The pay is too low to aford gas back and forth and has put me in a deeper hole. I am barely keeping my head above water with the expenses of the necessities of water bill, gas bill, electric. It has been a very hot summer and my bills are steady rising. I am unable to continue to get by with the small amount of funds I am making. I have been having to call in to work for missing my shift several days in a row because the gasoline expense I can no longer afford. I was not able to purchase my children clothing for school, because the layaway I have was too expensive to purchase. My son is in need of surgery and unfortunately the insurance company has not responde back through chips with any status , so we are havign to drag it out and he is in pain on a daily basis. He is a young child and I hate to see him suffer when the economy is not right at this time. If there is anyone out there that has a heart or understand how finances can cause destruction in soemone 's life please allow your heart to have some kind of assistance.
