My husbands truck broke down. Now we will have only one car. It would not be such a big deal except that my husband is a truck driver, so most nights he is not home until late and sometimes it can be very late. His truck yard is about a 25 min drive from home. So I will be waking up our son getting him into his warm clothes (we live in Wisconsin) making the drive to pick up my husband, then back home and get him back to bed. This will be our life until we have money to get it fixed. It's the fuel pump. One of the mechanics at my husbands yard says he will fix it for half what a shop would cost. That's still around $300. Considering we were not able to make rent in Feb...I just dont see how we can make it happen. I will be praying, and keep my faith that God will provide.
He did'nt make it to school today. He has been very emotional all week. One of the other victims had brought something up two days in a row. Once I found out what this little guy was bringing up I called his mother and let her know and asked her not to have him over for a while. My son's doctor said he is a bit re-traumatized, and we are doing our best to help him through. Prayers are appreciated.
Our son was the victim of multiple sexual assualts. 3 Teen boys on our block lured the younger children into a "club" and began to rape them. They would rape, beat, sodomize, tie up, and force the children to perform sex acts on each other and the 3 teens. Some of the victims were sodomized with sitcks or wooden objects that left splinters in their rectums. This made things very painful to sit or use the restroom. That is something our 7 yr old son is still struggling with. The victims were forced to drink urine, eat feces, and drink water from a ditch. The 3 teens have been charged and are in the process of the juvinile court system. Our son became suicidal once this all came to light. He told his psychiatrist that he wanted to die and how he planed to take his life. He almost never makes it through a full day of school. I sleep on the couch so he can sleep with my husband in our bed, because he is scared to sleep alone. I was laid off from work because of constantly being called out of work to go to my son at school. My husband has started working 6 days a week to help keep us afloat, but we are steadly sinking. We are 2 months behind on rent and our truck is having problems with it's fuel pump. I can easily verify all this information for anyone who is willing to help us. We are in danger of being kicked out of our home. We need a new vehicle. The medical bills are piling up. Our hearts are broken beyond repair and we are hanging by a thread. Everyday we live only to see our son through to the next day. We are doing our best to stay strong for him. Money issues make this just that much more difficult. Should we become homeless, I don't know what will become of us. God Bless.
