My name is Patty and I am asking for help. I have had MS for 20 years now and it is a day at a time for me. I was married in July of 2006 to a man from England. He came to the US, we were married and we worked together on getting him his green card. After me spending $2000 on paperwork, $400 for medical expenses and money for a car...he is now working and doing well. Only one thing, in December he was arrested for serious domestic violence as he had choked me. I use a wheel chair and walker and cane to get around and I Still can not understand what happened. SOOOOO, a no contact order keeps him away but I no longer have any money left and I am behind in my bills and I need help......it is SO much to ask but in order to keep my sanity I am in need of financial help. It would help me with a divorce, medical bills, electric, gas, rent and to repay 2 family members that in the past tried to help. My disability check is greatly appreciated but between bills and broken dreams and hopes it is almost too much for me to grasp onto......my only promise would be to get back to a place where I could pay it forward.....please, I Hope there is Hope....Patty
