My car broke down several weeks ago & long story short, I ended up putting out almost $500 on repairs, which left me with hardly any money left. I have 2 cats that were pretty much forced on me to take care of and I can barely even afford to feed them. I get minimal food stamps but it doesn't cover cat food, toiletries, or any non-food items.
I am on disability and have a very limited income. I have neuropathy in my feet and hands, and have extreme nerve damage in my left foot. I also have arthritis throughout my entire body. Both knees need to be replaced, and I have an impingement in my right hip that causes me great pain. It's hard for me to even walk or get around sometimes.
