I know it's on short terms, But I was really asking for help due too. Car trouble, and Garnishment.
I am married. My wife who has a cognitive brain disease had recent surgery and had to relocate closer to her family for wellcare assistance. Since we lived together here previously I have had to cover rent here and assist with her livelihood in Newport News. I am facing eviction due to the overwhelm of medical needs and past due utilities resulting from our division.
