oh also Donna - about the lack of insurance - you have kids? Check to see if you can get some help from Mass Health since your husband is out of work - they strive to make sure children and families are insured. If that doesn't work for you - check with your local hospital to see if you qualify for financial assistance with them so you can be seen in their facility if need be.
Good Luck hun,
Pam
wow- so much bad along with the good. You have an amazingly postive attitude! Contact your creditors and be honest with them, they can work with you, as they want to see payment, any payment, rather than have to go through the hassle of foreclosure. If you are up for caring for your mother, then that really is the best place for her, rather than somewhere that they pop in once or twice a shift to check on people.
