I have been trying and trying to make a better life for my family. We are a disabled household and we live on a small fixed income. We have a son who has ADHD/ODD/ Mild BIPOLAR disorder. I was the sole income earner as my wife was disabled. Three years ago I was involved in a car crash that has changed my life forever. It has been changed for both the good and bad. I can no longer work but when I first was injured I tried to keep working anyway.

My bosses who I had a hard time with anyway used my injury against me and laid me off from my job. My injuries are so severe that I am not employable and I finally had to concede and go on SSDI. Our expenses exceed our income especially when you factor in medications for three people and limited and no insurance. I write articles online when I can for small change, I do ever paying survey I can find, I have tried e-bay but have lost more than I have earned. I have held yard sales but they do not go over well here. I have sold scrap metal, I have and do whatever I can to help my family.

We have no credit card debt and we live carefully and as close to within our means as possible. We have tried to get help from everywhere but we are continually refused by an idea that we earn too much money; this is a fact I will never understand as we have to trade our mortgage payment for medications and then go without and catch up on our mortgage. We have to get an extension on utilities in a trade to buy some food and then try to find a way to meet the extension obligation. Our credit is ruined because of all of these factors.

I have finally given in to the idea of seeking help from strangers. I loathe this idea but desperate times call for desperate measures. I had an idea the other day and finally I am going to act on it. I am seeking help by way of .25 donations. I am going to ask everyone to donate a quarter to me. If my calculations are correct if 30 thousand people would help in this way I could pay our mortgages off and we would no longer struggle so hard. Then, I want to get more people to donate to someone else and if we all do this we can help so many people that are desperate and struggling like my family and worse.

I am NOT trying to scam anyone. I am just asking for help to uplift my family and get out of a very bad situation. In the end what I want most is to help more and more people and I want to do this by my "Quarter Coalition"  If anyone would like to donate just one quarter to my family; your blessings will travel far. I pose the question what can one quarter do or buy? The truth is in today's economy the short anwser is nothing but many quarters will save and change lives. If you agree with me; then please join me in the fight to help my family and then I/We will continue to help the rest of America. Please....I don't know what else to do and in my heart, I want to help not just my family but everyone I can.

Thank You!
