I am so sorry that you are having to go through this stress right now, in the midst of so much illness. We went through the exact same thing last summer. Our home was within 7 days of being seized, and we still could not see our way out. I was being tested extensively for the cause of a sky high testosterone level(yes, i am a girl) and the only explanations meant cancer at the same time, plus my current illnesses, and my husband's adhd caused him to be clinically depressed from the stress.
We have no other friends and family around,and the idea of packing up a house in the following 7 days was too much to bear. We investigated things high and low but couldn't find any program to help. We did the only thing we could do, we prayed. I think that for the next 2 days I was in continual prayer. Without Him to save us, we were lost.
The next day a process server arrived at our door. We were absolutely sick with fear, for what else had gone wrong???
I decided to be the one to answer the door, as my husband was already having trouble controlling his anxiety and that sometimes leads to hot tempers with people he speaks with.
The server handed me the papers and then started asking me questions about how many people in the house, children and alike; I told him to leave, as I wasn't going to help him try to kick us out.
My heart was going through the roof when I opened it..and to my surprise, it was the ORIGINAL claim. Why were they sending me another copy? Because, 'strangely' the first one was prepared wrong, and the process had to be re-set. CAn you imagine???? This meant that we had another whole 6 weeks before the specter of moving could lie over our heads again. We still had no idea how we were going to get the money, but at least, we thought, it gave us a bit more time.
The next day, 'out of the blue' my husband said, "you know, I had a sudden thought. Is there anyway that you can access your locked-in pension from when you worked?" Five minutes later, God showed us His solution. Not just 6 months before, the government had changed the rules, allowing access to your 'locked'in' pension in special, listed, cases of hardship. That was the answer!!! Our retirement savings would be enough to pay all the overdue bills and mortgage and still have a bit left over. Two weeks later we celebrated the fact that we had redeemed the house, taken out enough money for the next 6 months of mortgage, and no longer had to worry about collection calls. It wouldn't be the entire ending, b/c our income source has not changed yet, but at least it allowed us to stay and take on the next trial.
It DOES happen. I am so glad you have looked and researched government programs to help you. I later found out that because I am accepted as completely disabled by the government, there were special programs available to help with these sorts of things. It was sort of their version of 'affordable housing' but just for those disabled. I wonder if you might find something similar that you can access. I called the local rehabilitation hospital and asked to speak to their community social worker.Because she dealt exclusively with assisting disabled to get on with 'normal' living, she had a long list of benefits that we did not know we qualified for. In the end, another grant allowed my shower to be re-fitted as accessible, and new floors to be put in the entire house to handle the pressures of a wheelchair.
BELIEVE! We will stand in prayer with you everyday. Do the best to try to not 'internalize' the feelings of worry, anxiety, shame and such that comes along naturally in these situations. They are an illusion. You are His child, and You will prevail.
With love, Cali
I also celebrate with you in the VICTORY of HEALING for your children's father. God is so FAITHFUL! I moved this PRAISE up under PRAISE REPORTS for you so that all call worship the Lord along side you concerning this!!

I was just looking at the prayer requests and saw yours there. I don't see any update on your health, nor your ex's. (I am so in awe that you are able to put aside old feelings and help him. I am not sure that I would be able to do that).
I will continue to add you and your family to my daily prayer list. Please add an update so that we can all see how to support you better.
Renee, I noticed that it seems like the hospital is choosing to allow your ex to come home, assuming that you and your family can take care of him. We had a similar situation not too long ago, where I was hospitalized and was worried about my son's medical tests which were to be undergone at the same time. Thanks to God, an old friend that I hadn't seen in years was assigned my homecare case, and saw how anxious and worried about the situation I was. She called for a social worker who took over and helped us find extra help for my husband for the days that Brodie had to be in(another) hospital.
I am telling you this because i wonder if you are willing to make a case to your local care provider that you would like a social worker to come and see you for one or two appointments. She should be able to help you find any government or HMO (I live in canada) aid that you are eligible for. Perhpas you and your daughters can get a respite worker? Hopefully they choose to hospitalize your ex so that you get some rest and he gets the care he so obviously needs.
YSIC,
Cali
I didn't want your request to get lost in the shuffle of all the blogs since it was so very important. You are apart of our little LW family and are important to all of us. I'm sorry that i haven't taken the time to really get to know you since you were put onto my list of friends. Please forgive my short comings, sometime i get overwhelmed with all of the computer networks that i committed to. I decided to make only just a few be my main social networks and this is one of them. I am also on Penni's Prayer Page, I forgot to thank you for the sweet notes that you left me on my comment wall on that site, it was so very thoughtful of you to do. I hope that you send your prayer request off to them as well. When two or more gather in Jesus name, there is strength in numbers. I believe in faith that the Lord has heard your plea and will have mercy on your situation with your Ex husband, you and your family. I noticed other prayer requests in your blogs too. Make sure that you place your prayer concerns in PRAYING HANDS. If your not a member, you can join and then post them on the comment wall for those who are committed to praying for our members here. And maybe say a prayer or two for someone else as well.
You are in God's hands, Hang in there Renee

Good to see you. Living Whole is a pretty active place. God has blessed it and we really have developed some deep relationships around here. Hope to see you here more often. I am not on any other networks hardly ever. I thin I ma a member of a couple of others - mostly because to look at them I had to sign up - but I stay waaay to busy here to really give justice to being anywhere else regularly.
Have a Blessed Day!
Kimberly
