Shatter_Sword: Desperately trying to avoid homelessness. Our plan to buy an RV to live with a much lower cost of living has run into some enormous roadblocks... none of the financing came through, despite having the wife's extremely reliable disability income, and a severe illness knocked me out of 3 weeks of work and cost us all the savings we had to date. Therefore I've set up this GoFundMe account, and appreciate any help anyone can offer. The full story is on the page:

I hate doing this, but I'm running out of ideas. I'm working as hard as I can with my own constant pain (arthritis) and caring for the wife, but I'm very limited. Thank you.

Justinknowslove: that is crazy. i knew you had a rough edge and rough life. but damm i did not know it was that bad. its amazing tho how much you remain calm, positive even tho life is throwing these curve balls at you. because the people as i was telling you i came across or met or delt with man look where they wind up>> Jail, shelter, street, or psych ward, or back in families care. But you man oh man you just keep going.

That is why i never thought you had more then you told me in the past i thought you had everything under control. now i feel guilty for not wondering if your truly ok or not. i knew your health improved cause you were abled to communicate more then u were so i seen a difference there.
