Hi my name is chris, im a married man father of a beautiful 8 year old step daughter with a wife who works extrmely hard but needs help. im 41 with severe type 2 diabites. i am unable to work.ive filed for ssi but am running into a ton of red tape.my wife bless her soul is beautiful but obese she is extremely talented at what she does which is a photographer at a portrait studio she has been there long enough to see managers come and go and she has always been promised that the next manager posistion that comes up will be hers but it never happens. my wife is puerto rican and she speaks with a slight accent but you can understand her fine with a beautiful smile who is just big and because of that she is being passed over for promotion. i have been the only man my daughter has ever known as dad because her biological father told my wife at the time" if she didn't get an abortionhe would kick her down the steps" after getting a restraining order on him she did everything by herself until i met her when my daughter was 16 months old. my wife is a very ambitious and proud woman who takes great pride in everything she does but realisticly right now we need help our bills are piling up with my health and me having exhausted all my unemployment benefits things are getting extremely bad.My daughters biological dad has vever paid anything for my daughter and even if we filed for child support he also has 5 other kids so we would get nothing.Listen i know as a man i should take care of my family and i wish my body would allow me to but it doesnt and i hate seeing my wife practically kill herself to keep our family togethe, i've applied for financial aid but was turned down because my wife makes over 495.00 a month before taxes for a family of three.Listen i know times are tough for everyone but if you can find it in your heart to help with a dollar or two or five whatever you can spare it would be greatly appreciated. I always see commercials for helping kids in other countries i never saw myself as asking somebody to help me with my child but this is what it has come to if you can help I thank you from the bottom of my heart and if you can't I also thank you and ask that you say a prayer for my family and I. I can be contacted at cjgancarz@hotmail.com fon anyone who may be able to possibly help so i can give you my personal information. THANK YOU.
