Guest guest Posted July 28, 2002 Report Share Posted July 28, 2002 i know that feeling. my son works part time and i hate if i have to borrow money from him. we are somehow survivng on ssd, with alot of my families help. but i feel if i lose this with my former employer i don't know what will happen. i don't know how i could live here, but don't know of anyplace cheaper i could really live comfortabally. but then again if i win and take the money from my company i don't think it is enought to survive on anyway. section 8 does pay for lot rent, but when i called my mobile home park, they said they were not equipped to take the pymts from them. something about the whole community needs to be involed and maybe they'd accept if if i got the section 8, then paid them. i don't think it works that way but i applied anyway. then my son got cut from his ss pymts this month. we turned in paperwork but don't think they will process the check in time. these people don't mess around. $25 late fee's daily and i think if it's not paid by the 25th they can pull your home off the lot. so we are almost $700 short this month. plus he needs to register for his last 4 credits on the 5th. too many things happening at once. yet i try to apply for assistance and i'm told i make too much money. kathy in il Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 28, 2002 Report Share Posted July 28, 2002 I also never had allergies until this last year. I guess it is that great immune system that I have. I wonder if there is any connection between RA and developing allergies. Gail? Love and Hugs Stacey in PA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 28, 2002 Report Share Posted July 28, 2002 Hi Kathy, Sounds like you had a nice albeit busy weekend. Yes, I am still able to work full time and am the sole " breadwinner " , so the thought of disability really scares me. Luckily, I am on long-term disability coverage through my company's insurer and it enables me to 70% of my current salary. Of course, I would expect the insurance company to fight tooth and nail if it came down to it. By the way, if I may ask, what medications are you on? I only take Enbrel but will probably need to start using steroids or something else now that I have been feeling bad. Not looking forward to that.

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2002 Report Share Posted July 29, 2002 Hi Kathy, Don't feel bad about borrowing money from your son. I know it's difficult as a parent but families need to help each other out in the tough times as well as the good. That's what being a family is all about. I am sorry to hear about your situation and pray that it will get better. I know from experience that things seem to have a way of working out. If you ever need to talk to someone, I am here. I know all of the other wonderful people in our group feel the same. Take care.
