After much agonizing and a pep talk I find myself in a position where I am forced to swallow my pride and ask for a little help.
After my wife had emergency surgery two weeks ago we have not had any income coming in. Her employer fouled up her record of employment and Employment Insurance has told her it could be another 3 weeks before she receives any benefits.
I am now out of my depression and anxiety meds and will be until her EI gets straightened out. 1/2
P.S. - Thank you to @stueytheround for taking the time to help me with this.
Just sent you something. Check in with us again and Friday, and if you're still needing some help, I can send you more.
Do NOT be afraid to ask.
@tyghebright ๐๐ญ Myself and my family thank you so very much. The kindness and generosity is overwhelming.๐
People here have saved my butt a couple of times, and I'm in a good place right now.
Happy to have the opportunity to pay it forward.
@tyghebright I promise you and everyone else that I will pay this forward anyway that I can.๐
@Tacitus_Kilgore just slide you a bit extra. Hang in there! And I echo Tyghe, don't be afraid to ask for help like you have <3
@Armchaircouch My family and I are so very grateful. Thank you.๐๐
@Tacitus_Kilgore back in June, your family were facing tough times because of your wife undergoing emergency surgery. I have probably missed updates on her situation.
How is she doing today?
@Mauve_matelot Much better, although she did have more infection come back. This time instead of packing the incision they left it open. It has improved greatly, though taking longer to heal.๐๐

We can go to the foodbank on Wednesday but that only gives us a few days worth of food. So I am at the point where I must humble myself and ask for a bit of help. Believe me when I say this is a hard ask for me. But if we could scrape together a bit of money for my meds and food we would be forever grateful. My meds cost around 95 dollars (There are two that I take). 50 to 60 dollars would help us get some food that we can spread out over a few more days.
