Pray u all r well & preparing 2 enjoy a blessed Thanksgiving w/those u love.I have unsuccessfully ask 4help here b4, just dk anymore what maybe legit assistance, or not.I continue 2pray 4intervention not only 4myself but 4others in genuine need as well.Will attempt 2b as brief as possible. I am recently disabled due 2  injury @work.State of NC denied claim due 2 "no one witnessing" accident, in actuality, there was another employee who was about 25ft away but she is finishing up her career w/this school system&anticipating retirement w/no probs. Sadly,politics plays a big part in the county where I was employed.Immediately after my fall,I was diagnosed w/broken hip & various probs., w/back/knees & required immediate surgery which did not go well as far as recovering use of my right side & pain.How anyone can even b allowed 2deny a claim that is so blatant w/o question is beyond me. Long story short, being out of work w/no income forced me 2 file bankruptcy&it was dismissed due 2my being unable 2maintain the payments that were set after I was unable 2return 2work.I am now filing again in an effort 2save my home.I have just my disability,which is very small&wont be eligible 4any state medical coverage until March,in the meantime I have many medications,dr.visits,etc that are a must.My daughter is w/me in my home w/her 15 yr old son,after her husband left&she discovered her home in foreclosure,etc.She goes 2school FT in an effort 2make a better life 4she&my grandson.She is on the President's List& is a true blessing 2me&my grandson is in Honor Classes making A's & colleges are already attempting 2recruit him,praise God.We go w/o a lot of basic needs as I know others do but 4 my grandson's sake I want so badly 2offer him some sort of CHRISTmas this year,it has been the most difficult 2yrs we have ever had in our lifes.He knows our situation&rarely asks 4anything at all.He is a "big" young man &really needs some jeans 4the winter,I have seen them in his size at WalMart, as well as the plain cotton tee shirts in his size.We all would love 2b able 2stock our kitchen w/just some basics,cereal,noodles,milk,peanut butter,etc nothing fancy & Caleb truly enjoys attending church&is helpful w/helping me get in/out,etc but often due 2medical visits&school attendance transportation our gas wont stretch that far.My daughter& I would b so grateful if there was a way 2obtain any of this.We stand in need of fuel oil but,I know that is a large request&I dont want 2hinder us getting any help by being greedy.I do pray that those granting help 2others though b aware that in our location,no one will deliver less than 50gallons&that is about $183.00 when I checked last wk,a full 100gallons is close to $399.00,pray that those here&elsewhere who r in need get help&that the daily costs of basic needs will become more affordable.I truly think alot of times people just aren't aware of how difficult it is when u are living 1 day 2the next.I appreciate u allowing me this forum 2request that someone PLEASE have mercy on us& as promptly as possible please help.I look forward 2the day when my daughter is employed&we r in a better position 2reach out 2others that have experienced a similar situation.I thank God 4this ministry,Blessings 2 those who will reach out&help those on this site that u can&to those on this site standing in need.I will be glad 2provide any other info that u may need&willing 2accept any help u can afford us.

 in response to troy flora...   happy thanksgiving. well there are many assistance programs, some take more time than others. like catholic charities. fuel assistance programs at your local social services. i have used those myself and they are awesome. i had to pay half but then they came up with the other half and that was like almost 600 dollars one time. also many churches and salvation army have programs as well as the utility companies have programs where they have fuel and energy share programs for needy. many of these are a pain due to having to prove income, need and many, many forms but hey 2 hours to fill out a form to get a few hundred dollars worth of assistance is a fair trade to me. good luck

 in response to troy flora...   Sorry Troy, I always feel as though I must justify my asking 4help,not just present the facts as that approach has not benefited much during this ordeal. I know my request was lengthy, believe it or not I went back & tried 2 make it as concise as possible, but I do appreciate you taking the time 2 read it though! Happy Thanksgiving to you & yours!
