My ex-husband had treatment resistant depression (meaning that after over 2 or 3 years of trying, no medication or other therapy had helped). In May, he started to have hallucinations and paranoia, and there was nothing I or anyone else could do. Eventually, he decided to take all of my social security disability money and leave with the car. He left behind a mountain of debt (for someone on disability) that he had hidden from me. There was a tax debt, a second credit card, and unpaid utilities and car payments in my name (but that weren't actually my debts). Some of them, his sister and attorneys got him to pay for. But I still had to put about $3000 on a credit card so that I wouldn't have my utilities shut off, etc. I still ended up homeless for a month (sleeping in an RV) because of all of this, but now I'm back in an apartment and working on getting back on my feet. But the debt he left me - putting it on the credit card where there's interest - is killing me. He's legally been ordered to repay me, but he hasn't actually done so yet and there's doubts that he ever will. I only have $8000 in credit and what I get from social security disability every month (they had to find a new, secure way to send it to me after he stole about a month's worth). Without his repayment, I'm in real trouble. I may not be able to pay for food, utilities, my medical bills (including food and medication for my service dog), etc. If anyone out there has the means to help with what's a pretty small amount for most people, I could really use it. I just need enough to where putting $500/month on the credit card is enough to actually get me out of the debts he left behind. $6000 is about what's on there, but if I could at least cut that in half ($3000), I can catch up. I know it's not your debt. It's not even mine. Really, he should be repaying it and the law even agrees, but he may never do so and even if he does, interest and bills may max out that card and leave me homeless again. Any help at all (no matter how big or small) is appreciated.


And even if you can't make a direct monetary donation here, I could use 1-800-PetMeds or Petsmart gift cards (her medication is about $100/month and her food is about $50 / 2 months), or Walmart gift cards (to cover food, cleaning supplies, personal hygiene products, etc). Those would help me to not have to put any more money on the card until his debts are off of it. On my own, I can manage quite well, but his debts are killing me. Please help me just to get back on my feet. I'm sorry to ask, but thank you.
