My husband will be 60 years old and has worked hard to raise our children. We have 3 sons. They are young and in college and one is married and just had a baby. They are not in a position to help us financially. Milan, my husband must have bunion surgery. I know this sounds stupid, but he's a machinist and he's on his feet all day. The recovery time for this surgery is 9-11 weeks. We cannot afford his taking this time off. We will be having a very difficult time. Does anyone know of something we can do that will help? I don't want to get behind on our payments. I work full time also, so it isn't like I just need to go get a job. I have a job. On top of this, we take care of my mother in law, who lives with us. She is 86. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I know we can save on food through Angelfoodministries. I need help with our mortgage payments.
