to his previous profession doing home repairs, and has some contacts and networks previously.

If you are having trouble making rent you need to see what programs are available to help you through this difficult time:

The link above also may provide suggestions if they turn off your heat or electricity.

You might need to also negotiate something with your landlord.

Just try to hang in there the best you can.

Wishing you all the best

terrible things happening to you at once.

I hope that this is the worst of it and that things will begin to turn around as soon as you can. You are among friends here.

I'll be thinking about you, rbrnmw, and sending good thoughts your way...
