Hi I am a single disabled mom of 3 wonderful kids. I had a spinal fusion done 2 1/2 years ago and sincew then have not been able to work I do receive social security. I come to you today because I am in need of dentures I have had my name on the waiting list at University now for 3 years trying to get teeth. I am on more and more medication due to extreme health problems and in and out of the hospital all the time, I know the meds is what is making my teeth rot out of my head. I use to smile all the time now it's a chore. My kids miss me smiling and laughing I am too embarrased to show my teeth (the ones I have left). I am so tired of struggling--I don't know what to do I always try to find something good that happened during the day, but when I try to smile at a child in the store then hear the snide comments that are made about me---it hurts! I am really a nice person and would give my last 2 cents to someone in need. I have worked hard since the age of 13 holding down 2 if not 3 jobs at a time and was a single mom until my oldest (which is 24 now) was 8, at the time my middle son (now 18 and disabled but not receiving anything) was turning 3, I met my ex-husband. I went thru 10 years of extreme abuse then a year later when he came to visit with our daughter ( she is my baby, only girl) he ranoff with her and with NO help from the authorities or his parents could I find her until 1 1/2 years later he e-mailed me and told me to come and get her. I , in the last 4 years of having her back with me and her opening up, found out social services almost took her, he was doing drugs in front of her and had sleezy people living at their home. He has made NO attempt in contacting he in 4 years (which is a blessing). Now I struggle with school uniform for her and supplies and just clothing for my middle son and supplies as he still has 2 years left of school. I have noclothing for myself and end up washing what I do have to wear. I just can't afford these things. I bought my kids underwear but mine are about to fall apart. I feel like I am drowning and no one there to help me out---PLEASE CAN ANYONE PLEASE HELP US?!? Thank-you for your time and patience in reading this.
