Hello everyone! I have visited Daily Kos several times a day for many years; I finally signed up about a year ago. I've never been a big social media user; totally ignored Facebook for example. I DID have a profile page on Care2 until the pages were faded out; maybe some here were my friends there! I mention this because I'm uncomfortable; I'm a private person and not one to share my life online. Here is why I'm posting; I need help with my property taxes which are due on July 18. (I mistakenly thought they were due in August but the date was changed). I was selling my 20 year old (low mileage, great condition) car but ran into some unexpected complications; I need more time to sell it now. Plus, my health hasn't been the best-especially the past several months. I went via ambulance to the emergency room in March and I was in the hospital for two days last month. I've had several medical appointments since and have many more scheduled. I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease in 1997; fibromyalgia in 1992; and depression, anxiety, and panic disorder in recent years. Pretty sure I have arthritis as well; will know for certain soon. I gratefully receive SSI, SNAP, and Medicaid. I've lived in this house for 59 years; it's all I know... I have taken care of animals since the age of 6 when I got my very first guinea pig. All of my life I've had multiple animals at one time. At the moment I have 4 rabbits, 3 parakeets, a couple hermit crabs, and a snail tank. They are my babies and no matter how much pain I'm in I get out of bed every morning to take care of them. I'd be devastated if I lost them. Both of my parents suffered with illnesses; I helped to take care of them over a period of 29 years. I'm a caretaker, and it's not easy for me to ask for help. I have a habit of putting myself last. I have a contract with the county concerning a previous property tax I couldn't pay. I'm on a monthly installment plan; it's automatically withdrawn from my bank account every month. If I do not pay the current bill in full and on time, the contract will be broken. My house will be in jeopardy. I'm terrified; plus on top of that I'm sick, and absolutely freaked out about what is happening in our country and frankly, around the world. I apologize if this is discombobulated; I'm on a bunch of new meds and haven't slept well for quite awhile. I'm discombobulated too! :-) Anything you can do to help will be greatly appreciated, and if you have any questions please ask in the comments. Thank you very much! http://spot.fund/mt4w4sc
