Firefighter family in need 4 children with mom not able to work

FamilyNneed started this conversation

I am a 31 yr old firefighter that has a wonderful wife and 4 kids. We were doing great until my wife was diagnosed with a mental health illness that causes her not to be able to deal with the stress of work. I make decent money but am now about to lose our house unless i can start making more money for the family. A while back when she was working we bought a nice 3 bedroom house for us and all of our kids. But with her not working until her benefits start to kick in from the state I cant afford our home. I am a very dedicated father, husband and firefighter. I responded to help the Katrina victums for 16 days . I am constantly training to better educate myself so I can serve my community better. I am very worried because in this part of missouri it is almost impossible to find a rental home for 4 kids./ We have two 8 yr old daughters, one 5 yr old girl and a 4 yr old boy. I work very hard to provide for them but I just keep coming up short every month. I love my wife more than anything and support her and her condition but she cant go back to work with her illness or else the stress will put her back in the hospital. Her and our 5 yr old daughter are hearing impaired , and our oldest has generalized anxiety disorder. I spend most of my days off taking them to the doctors for their appointment and taking care of the family to keep the stress level down at home. At work I run out in the middle of the night to help a complete stranger in need. And now I am in need of help keeping my home for my family but dont know where to turn to, hoping some more fortunate american family would help my family get back on our feet until things level out. We have some very smart beautiful kids we are raising and are only wanting the best for them. I would appreciate some help to get us up and going .

I am commenting on your plea for help.I am also trying to get some financial help to try to save our home from being foreclosed.It is a long story about how we got in this position.You can go to my page and read the story.But any way we are in desperate need as well.I am trying out on the internet different organizations and various charities.I have found a couple of more sites on the web that might be of help.The best one is modestneeds.org the other one if I remember right is help.com (That one I'm not sure about)? Maybe these sites will help.Good luck!
