As my nickname indicates I am a lady truck driver. Last year I was out for 8 months before going to what used to be my home. I discovered someone had gone inside and stole everything of value. I USED to have guitars, keyboards, amplifiers, TV's, computer, dvd players, vcr players, about 100 music CD's if not more and a lot of other stuff. All of it was gone. I only had my "personal" stuff left. Some clothes, family pictures, the stuff in my kitchen, etc. I was able after a couple of months to go back and put what was left in a storage unit. I went from being able to fill to capacity a 10X20 storage unit, now I have a 10 X 10 with room left over. My biggest problem right now is I no longer have a home. The rent where I used to be got way behind and I had no other choice but to put what was left in storage. Because of the economy and lack of freight I am currently in deficit and often do not have enough money to even buy decent food. To complicate matters I have 3 large dogs and of course buy their food first, then whatever is left I get myself whatever I can manage to get. I have to fight to even get a $60 advance and with that I am suposed to buy dog food, my food, wash clothes and get any personal items I absolutely need. What I crave most right now is to be able to eat something besides Ramen Noodle and sandwiches! Even a simple $1 hamburger would be a real treat! I am engaed to a wonderful man but he is on a fixed income and has for the last 2 months paid my phone bill which includes my internet but he is tapped out and can no longer help. This is the most important thing to me as I can keep in touch with my daughter that is facing 2 surgeries with the first being Apr 30, my fiance has a sister that is not expected to live much longer, a mother that has recently been put under hospice care and a grandson with disabilities. If I were to loose my phone I would be totally lost. I also use my phone for directions and internet for weather, so it is not just for "fun" and entertainment, it is an extremely important tool for my job. I seriously am worried that on March 6th that I will not have the funds for my phone and will loose it. I will be totally devistated if this happens as I will not only loose contact with those important to me I will also have no way to call shippers and recievers for help if the directions I get from the company are bad which happens way too much! Thank you for reading this!
PS....I have 2 grandchildren who both have birthdays Apr 22 and I have nothing to offer them.
