I am brand new to this website but I saw on google you can ask for help. I have cervical cancer and live on disability. An electrical fire destroyed my home last night and I lost my cat in the fire. I have nothing, no one, and don't know where to start. My email is [content moderated to protect member privacy] and my cell phone is [moderated to protect member privacy]. Please help

Hi @Caseyanac, I'm so sorry that's happened to you, I imagine that it's beyond devastating. I've taken the liberty of moderating your email address and phone number to protect your privacy, feel free to share it with others via private message instead of on the forum.

Can you tell us what area you're in? Maybe there are some local resources that others can recommend? Have you tried reaching out to your local Salvation Army or Red Cross? They have a few disaster resources that may be of help to you.

Take care,

Courtney

I completely understand as I don’t have anyone to talk to also. I’m a widow & I live alone. My oldest son died in 2021 & my youngest son & his family live 3 hours. My father is dead & my mother has chronic back pain & is immobile. My younger sister lives with our mother & she is going through a divorce from her husband who abandoned her. My sister doesn’t visit me, help me, call me & rarely texts me. I have various cousins, a niece & nephew that are spread out in nearby states but are hours away from me. After I told my friends I had cancer, they quit contacting me. I have learned how to be my own care giver. It has been very difficult. I’ll admit I’ve been depressed, cried a lot, felt sorry for myself but I never gave up. I prayed & read my Bible everyday. Then I found cancer groups online like this one where I could share what I was going through & got empathetic responses. That really kept me going. I hope you find someone to talk to but I highly recommend the online cancer chat groups.
