Hello – I live in a very old farmhouse outside Petersburg and I do not have electricity or running water (electric well pump). I was told that it would take $10,000 to replace the circuit box for the house. I don’t have that much money.
I was diagnosed with brain cancer in early May of 2024. A tumor was removed, and I realize that I don’t have a lot of time to live. While I was in the hospital, my employer fired me because I was unable to send them an email every day that I was going to be away from my job. I checked with a lawyer who helps cancer patients and was told that there was nothing that I could do about that. Subsequently, I tried working for three different life insurance companies and had no luck in selling policies. I decided that I wanted to work in a lower-paying hourly wage job that would provide a regular paycheck. I am still looking for a job like that. I tried a restaurant job, but they had me working really late hours, and it was a long drive from my home.
I have two dogs that I dearly love and do not want to give them up. I have a very large yard with 6-foot fencing, and they really enjoy living with me. My house is not fancy, but it is very big, and I love it. The land has a lot of wildlife on it that I would miss very much if I had to leave. I just want to spend the end of my days out there. Please help me in any way that you can. My family will absolutely not help me.
