Needs Help

As of this date (11/11/2020), I have been living back here in the Kosciusko County area for almost a year.

Back in February, I wanted to start looking for a place to live, but my mom, who probably missed me over the last 24-plus years, said, “Don’t be in such a hurry!”

Now, it is almost Thanksgiving, and I’m still stuck living in my sister and brother-in-law’s place with mom, and trust me, no one is happy about it!

My wife is still stuck in a nursing home back in Pennsylvania, mainly because she would not take better care of her “diabetes.” She wanted doctors to give her “hand-outs” of insulin, while she spent money on other stuff like the cash grow on trees!

Meanwhile, I’m struggling to find a place to live apartment-wise.

I make less than $1,000 per month, and there are places which charge rent based on people’s pays, but they either turn me away or are filled up!

I need an affordable place to live, with a bathroom, kitchen, bedroom, close access to stores for food, clothes, laundry supplies, etc.

It is funny how convicted criminals and people who are the lowest forms of human trash get everything handed to them, and there are certain people in my lifetime who fit that description all too well!

But if you work hard, do your best, all you get in the end is screwed, and for this, I’m deemed crazy!

Is there truly any help out there, or do I have to take my chances on the street, back in Lancaster County? I want my wife!
