Hi, My name is Donna Cummings. I live in Holland, Ma. I was lost my job June 6, 2005 due to a disability, major depression, anxiety, post traumatic stress, and difficulty leaving home. I receive $640.20 a month in SSI benefits. My mortgage paument is $815.00. All my utilities are past due. The fan on my car's heater/defroster won't work. My home is in need of repair. The pluming in the bathroom leaks into the cellar near an electric fixture. I can't bathe or shower. The bathroom floor/cellar ceiling is rotting. I had to pull up the lineloeum to let it dry. The whole tub unit needs replacing. The siding on my house has dry rot in places. I painted it once but the paint is chipping off. I scraped and used a power washer but couldn't get all the paint off. The house is historic in Holland. It was built in 1932. I live alone. I do have 3 grown children. My daughter drives me to my appointments. I am getting electro convulsive therapy twice a week for the depression but so far I still feel horrible. I cry all the time. I don't know if anyone can help me but it felt good to write this down. I hate to accept charity. I wasn't brought up that way but I don't have a choice. Please, please if there is anyone out there that can help me please e-mail me. I don't know how much longer I will have access to the internet. I thank you very much. I also wish all who read this a happy and healthy New Year!
Sincerely,
Donna Cummings e-mail: cummings620@aol.com
