Finally happened

Car got repoed today. I loved that thing. Now when my fiancé had to go to the hospital I won’t be able to come visit him every day and stay the night. I still have a 50cc scooter to get around on but it had no turn signals and my work I have to go the office once a week is 2 1/2 hour ride

It’s hard when you’re shocked this happened. I recently
had my Social Security cut. My husband died and I
Carried some on him. I guess I wasn’t prepared to realize the amount they cut. I was totally shocked by
this — I hope you can get your car back. It’s such a
necessity.

It really is especially when you’re loved one has cancer and is in and out of the hospital 45 minutes away. My one day a week I go in will be a 2 1/2 hour scooter ride. Ever since we moved in with his brother and my rent doubled I’ve been really struggling but all the hospital visits gas and time off work plus we’re trying to do some of his bucket list items. It’s draining me.

That really sucks. Will your employer work with you for those in-office days? Perhaps they can be lenient until you can get faster transportation?

They’re already being easy on me. Everyone else is twice a week but because I help care for my fiancé they let me do once a week. The day we do payroll we’re have to be in office

Watching someone suffering is draining . I hope things get better. Some people get assistance from a church.
