Well, hello  Today is hardest day my family has had. First, I live in ocean city maryland and my husband lost his job here been almost 2 years, I work part time and by part time I mean my company only gives 2 days a week, we are a family of three- husband, me and 12 year old son. At a desperate time, in danger of getting my water cut off- bill is over 100 dollars and i dont know where to get it, that means no cooking, no showers and no tiolet, cant find a agency that can help us, do you know where, My husband and myself have always worked and we worked hard, but leaving in this county, which is worcester is horrible. we are know in danger of losing our house, electric cut off, water cut off,  no food, the only reason we live here is because the schools here are great and we want to give our son the best education we can. I have applied for food stamps and we did get that electric bills which are pending, medical assistance which we do not use because we rarely get sick. This is very depressing, I voted for you guys and gald to have u in office, but what are we supposed to do go to a shelter and mess our sons life up, just have to wait till april to get more hours and that is going to be very hard. Can you please help us with our water bill, that is not asking too much. worked hard all my life and never got any special treatment and i just want to get by. please help us and tell me what to do about this, i dont usually beg but it has know come to this  i can be reached at catettz1@yahoo.com. thank you for taking the time to read this email i really do appreiciate it

Post Open Letter to your Elected Representatives

I HAVE BEEN READING EVERYONES POSTS, I TRULY UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY ARE GOING THROUGH. WELL, MY HUSBAND HAS BEEN UNEMPLOYED FOR 2 YEARS AND I AM CURRENTLY ONLY BEEN GIVEN 1 TO 2 DAYS A WEEK WORK. WE HAVE A SON JOE HE IS 12 AND I DESEPERATLY WOULD LIKE TO GIVE HIM A NICE CHRISTMAS, WHICH DOESNOT LOOK LIKE THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN. WE LIVE IN A RESORT TOWN AND JOBS ARE NOT THAT EASY TO COME BY, MY HUSBAND IS OUT POUNDING THE PAVEMENT EVERYDAY TO LOOK FOR A JOB, HE CANT EVEN GET A INTERVIEW FOR A JOB HE IS 50 AND NOT THAT EASY FOR PEOPLE ARE AGE, KIDS AND FOREIGN HELP WHO DECIDE TO STAY HERE GET IT. WE HAD BEEN PAYING FOR OUR MORTAGE WITH CREDIT CARDS WHICH HAS RAN OUT AND NOW WE ARE FACING FORECLOSURE, OUR FAMILIES ARE POOR TOO AND CANT HELP US. SIGNING UP FOR ANY ASSISTANCE IS TOUGH, THE ANSWER I GET IS SORRY WE HAVE USED ALL OUR FUNDS, LAST YEAR I CONTACTED OUR POLICE DEPT TO BE PUT ON THE WAITING LIST AND GUESS WHAT I WAS 29 IN BACK-UP LINE SO WE DID NOT GET ANYTHING . CURRENTLY IM TRYING TO GET FOOD STAMPS, WE DO HAVE MEDICAL, NOT MUCH MONEY FOR ANYTHING ELSE. I JUST WANT SOMETHINGS FOR MY SON NOT FOR MY HUSBAND OR MYSELF, I PRAY SOMEONE WOULD BE ABLE TO HELP US. WE DO HAVE OUR HEALTH AND LOVE FOR EACH OTHER WHICH COUNTS BUT I DO NOT WANT OUR SON TO SUFFER HE IS A GOOD KID, RESPECTFULL, AND VERY LOVING PERSON.
