  • I have to go to court for a unpaid loan. I'm really worried. So here's the story.?

    Seven years ago I had a heart attack coming home from work. I have congestive heart failure and have had three strokes since then. I can not work. I hung on for as long as I could paying my bills. I do get $900. a month which really isn't enough to live on. I went to one of those bill consolidation places and I didn't make enough money to get my bills put together for less money on the payment's. They told me that I couldn't even afford to go bankrupt and the only thing they could see me doing was to default on my bills and just pay the one that I have to pay in order to live. Recently I've had to sell most of my jewelry in order to buy my meds. By the end of the month I don't have any food. for the last week I have lived on cheese and peanut butter sandwiches. I'm afraid if I go to jail they might not give me my medicine and I will die. I am going to court for a $1000. loan that I had at a credit union. I stoped putting money in my account because they were chargeing me about $300. a month in fees and I just couldn't pay it. I have $3.29 ro my name. I can't pay court cost and other things they might tell me I have to pay. I just don't have the money. I lost my job, my house . I've sold about everything I have to sell. I just can't do this. Someone please give me some advice. And I have prayed hard every day and night. I am at my breaking point. I cry all the time. Someone please tell me what to do.

  • What would you do if your 87 year old mother had lost her mind?

    My brother lives with our mom but still has to work so there is no one with Mom during the day. She is healthy otherwise, but her mind is just gone. She gets lost walking 3 blocks to the store. We live in a small town and the police just pick her up and bring her home. Today she bought matches and had a fire in the fireplace. She doesn't even know who we are anymore and we are starting to think that she shouldn't be left alone for any amount of time. We are having a family meeting Sat to talk about what to do. I really don't know whether we should try to find someone to stay with her while my brother is at work. Or would it be best for her for us to find a good faculity for her to live. I am disable and cannot do as much as I would like to. Thank you so much for your answers.
