Like many others on this site my family is in dire financial straights. I have always been a hard-working dedicated husband, father and very active in my community. I volunteer for many worthwhile organizations. I have been a business owner for many years and when business was good I anonymously donated money to those in need; truth is, even when times were bad my wife and I did the best we could to help others out. Now, although it is very humbling, I am the one who needs help.
I look at this as a very painful learning experience; there has to be a lesson in all this. We are trying to keep our house. I in no way want this to sound as if I am a victim; I am not asking myself "why me." I have a supportive and beautiful wife and two awesome healthy kids. With this in mind, I have been blessed and thank God for these blessing daily but the bills and collection calls and possibility of losing our home is almost unbearable. There is no question in my mind that I will once again be financially secure and will once again offer financial assiatnce to those in need.
In the meantime, I urge all those struggling on this site to keep the faith, put your problems in Gods hands and know that He will get us though these difficult times. Remember these times forever, don't forget next time you can offer assistance to another. When things are going well financially we often forget about those who are in bad times. More importantly, never forget that health is more important than any amount of money. God Bless, Rob
