------------------------------------
My husband is disabled due to diabetic neuropathy and hasn't walked in years. He gets SSI however, every time we turn around, it is being lowered. Currently it has been reduced to 430 and our rent is 600. I work for McDonalds at 7.57 an hour. We can barely pay our billd. Our foodstamps have been lowered to 94 a month which won't even buy food for one week.
Our car became inoperable in February. We have not had one since. As a result, my husband hasn't been to the doctor or the grocery store since because he doesn't want ot be pushed all over town and ruin his wheelchair. It also is hard on me. There are no programs in Florida to hedlp people like us nor are there any companies that will help low income people who have bad credit and no money for a carf payment.
We have both reached the limit. Having spent all of our lives struggling while people from other countries are given everything under the sun is disheartening. All I aask for is someone who will donate a decent car to us so that I can get a better job and get my husband to the doctor for his medicine. We have one son who can drive me to the store however he will be in Germany for three weeks with the National Guard and his truck is a stick shift so I have no way to get to the store to feed my husband. I don't care if I eat, we don't have the money for both of too but I do need a way to get him food.
