My husband lost his job 2-1/2 years ago due to an accident at work. He has been on WC ever since then and has brought home less than 200 weekly. I basically have been the sole support since then and yes, it has been VERY hard.

We lost almost everything and have just managed to start getting things back right and now this mess hits...

I am going to be down about $800 this pay period and was down $700 last pay period. Of course, we have no savings to fall back on - used it up long ago.

I found a part-time inhouse job that pays by the hour and am starting it as soon as the paperwork is all processed that should at least get the house payment paid, but don't know what we will do about everything else.
