Hello, I am asking for help but find this very hard to do because I have always been able to stand on my own feet and be there for others.I am an American veteran, Vietnam era, and retired/disabled now due to four back operations and find myself in pretty dire straits. I was a carpenter and raised three kids. I have no health insurance and no usable funds with which to get any..I am always just a small step from homelessness. My wife is a caring and loving woman who takes care of her 89 year old invalid mother full-time and cannot work either. I pray to God each and every day that I will find some way to help her and me to exist a little longer. My kids are as bad off, financially, as we are and I feel so helpless when they are in need but can't find a way to assist them. If anyone can find it in their heart to help I would be eternally grateful.
