Thank you. I’m like an expert when it comes to government assistance due to having a mental illness diagnosis. I have tons of work experience but every now and then, a year comes around that just knocks me off course where I have to rely on the money that was taken out of my paychecks, such as disability or employment benefits. I even go as far as knowing God will provide so I’ll live off of $221 a month income for bills and $291 for grocery expenses. It’s like extreme extreme poverty here in Southern California but I get by surprisingly. Just got hired to build a website today, so I’m employed again but have been living like this since August.

All you do in findhelp.org is write your zip code and it shows you all of the resources around you from government agencies to private agencies, charities and churches I believe.

I'm not advising anyone on health. But many experts so called, say cancer is starved of fuel by not eating carbohydrates / sugars like rice and beans. They say 100% carnivore or fat/meat/fish/chicken based diet is potentially a route to starve cancer to death. It may be worth looking into and researching on youtube/online etc and deciding what is the best course of action. Although, USA doctors make a lot of money keeping people sick. So it is all in you hands, Gods and your doctors. I pray also everything will work out in Jesus name, Amen.

And @Magenta , @CarriePie ,@toyspy, @jacko , @crmvet , @seantspence ,@dave44

I have a friend who set one up on my behalf. Perhaps I should start a thread for this separate from this one?
What do you think?

I was in a deep depression from the loss of my Mom, sister and loss of career with invested life savings. Fortunately, things are going to be better and my emotional/ mental outlook has improved.

Months ago I quit working to care for my Mom and have been living on my own savings. The focus has been on her because she was more important than stuff money can buy. Unfortunately, I slipped into not caring for myself and went from a healthy man who let malnutrition, stress and her killer (the Dr) cause me stress induced Cardiomyopathy, venous inflammation, heart arrhythmias, many symptoms of cancer and severe sleep deprivation, focus/ memory problems, anemia from blood loss and now an ear and jaw infection. I refuse to become a another medical victim and trust that the Lord will heal me altogether, but it is taking time. He is clearly providing answers as I seek.

The short of it is that in the midst and aftermath of the trauma, I recently received a notice that says my property/ home is going to be sold October 31st. I need immediate assistance and there are no agencies that I can find to help.

The prairie dog I'm holding is from a picture back when I had Noah's Ark Ministries and used all kinds of animals from around the world to lead others to Christ.

Praying for you.

When I owed back taxes I called the tax office and explained my situation.

You may be able to pay your tax debt in installments.

I asked 2 deputies in their department for that. They said that state code doesn't allow for that, unfortunately. I do appreciate you telling me though. That would be ideal. I'm open to any suggestions.

I just went to the link, I thought I saw a pic of you with a critter, I trust you will get the funds...

Oh, I paid by credit card and just had to fill out my own info, not anything about who it was to or for...

I am wearing magnifying glasses but still had to correct my number about four times :LOL::ROFL::LOL:

I will add that gofundme automatically inserted a .17%. tip to themselves.

I reduced it LOL. I imagine you can make it go to zero (it was a sliding scale).

Also is is set up in American funds (understandably).

That was Samuel. He wasn't patient and turned around real quick before the picture. He and Sarah were precious. Probably a thousand people pet him while he threw his head back to hollar. The important thing is that they got to hear about the grace and love of Christ .
I'm a fan of Poppy.
She reminds me of Sarah and Sarah so much!

I'm sorry that GoFundMe automatically deducted a tip. This is my first time raising funds and didn't think they did that. From what I remember from the videos and the website, they were supposed to offer it as an option as to the "tip."
I will check into that.

This link contains terminology that may help you.

It is written to include references to Texas property. However, the terminology is standard with regard to delinquency.
https://afic.co/blog/delinquent-property-taxes-terminology-texas

Deferral may be an option. That's where your tax deadline is extended to a future date so you can save the monies owed.


This may help. Copied from the link.

"
  • Property Tax Loan: If you take out a property tax loan, the lien on your property is transferred to a property tax lender, and all municipal collection actions applicable to your property taxes cease. The lender will pay your property tax obligation (including the tax amount, interest, and penalties) to the applicable county or tax office and work with you to determine an appropriate repayment plan. A property tax loan can give you peace of mind knowing that your property taxes are settled, you will not suffer the consequences of delinquency, and you can pay your obligation in a manner suited to your needs."

I wish you the best. Between the time you said you received the back taxes notice and the pending sale date is not typical of the process for delinquent property tax debts.

I definitely am surrounding you in prayers.
God will provide. *Hugs
