Pursuing our Dream and Flat Broke

posted on Jan 20, 2007 (modified on Jan 20, 2007)

Hi, I am not proud of myself for asking for monetary assistance but I feel this is the last resort. This is a sincere plee for help from the public to donate whatever they can to my cause. My husband doesn't even know that I am doing this and would be very hurt if he knew.

My Story: We are a family of four (2 small boys; 1 year and 4 years) plus our 2 Boxer girls. We had been living in Chicago since 2004 when my husband was introduced to an opportunity to buy his own retail business in Orlando. He immediately tried to get a bank loan for the business but was declined because neither one of us was working at the time and had too much personal dept. So we both decided that he should take out Credit Card advances under both of our names to make his Dream Happen. He dropped everything including his family and at the time his son of 1 month with my blessing to go and pursue it. I stayed back to work and take care of the 2 boys and to sell the home 2005. In the meantime, the whole year of 2005 incurring more debt because I was the only one that was bringing in money for the family and eventually had to take on a 2nd and  a 3rd job just to make ends meet. My husband came home at least once a month to visit. During the whole year of 2005 there was no buyer for the home which was the most discouraging. After trying to sell for almost a year we finally decided in November to rent the home out and rent a home in Orlando.

Up-to-date:

We moved to Orlando in November 2006 to resume our life as a family again. I am still working 3 jobs and still the sole provider for the family because my husband has been negative every month for the business. Life has been a struggle for the past 2+years with the worries of not being able make the bills every month, and discussing if we can afford to take our children to see the doctors when they are sick because we don't have health insurance.

With the way things are going we will not be able to pay back our balances ever! That's why I am turning to the public to help donate/contribute to a good cause. Anything contributed will be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

Hoping to stay afloat.
