About whatIneed

whatIneed started this conversation
Hello. My Name is Renee and I am registered on this page because I am hungry and feeling a little depressed. I live with my brother who has a three year old little girl and my mom. We are a poor family.....we have always been a poor family. We always are living on a prayer as my mother says. My brother is currently not working and on unemplyment, he also has a rare form of arthiritis and he is only 22 yeaars old. My mother just took short term disability leave due to severe depression from her low paying job. I am also unemplyed and debating trying to go to school to better myself. I have put off going back to school since highschool in 2004 in order to work and help take care of my family. The only jobs I get are low paying and I am not able to move up. My bother is currently attending school and aspires to build houses. We all do the best we can.We take turns watching the baby because we cannot afford daycare for her. We live day to day always wondering if we will have the money to eat or have clean close or keep the lights on. I dont want to struggle anymore and I dont want to see my family struggle either. I want to be ableto do for myself and my family. I dont want my niece to have to grow up in the same conditions I did.....but it is happening....s;owly but surely. Please help. I just want to be a normal family that dosent have to strugglr and fight everyday due to lack of everything. Thank you.

Hello,  I am sorry to hear this.  I am here for you if you want to talk.  My husband also has arthritis which can be very painful.  He has gout.  I am trying cinimon and honey with a glass of warm water.  It is helping him.  I have struggled my life as well.  I know how difficult it can be.  One thing which I have learned is not to tell myself that I am lacking for the more I do that it does become worse and those things will be drawn to me even more.  I am always telling myself I have more than enough.  You came to the right place for here on aidpage there are many who have good useful information.  I am in the same boat with the low paying jobs.  Currently I have been laid off and job hunting. I will take a low paying job if I feel passionate about that job.  Please I know this is hard but don't allow yourself to worry.  When we become worried stress becomes too much and it will clutter our minds then we would not be able to think clearly to finding a solution.  I know I have been there.  Be happy joyful the lights are not turned off yet.  Something will come along.  You are in my prayers and your family.  I have been helped here on aidpage and am very grateful to be here.  Please keep in touch.
