Being Bipolar: About the ChipIn widget…
Some of you may have noticed the new widget on my right hand sidebar asking (more like begging) for donations. I would like to explain why it is there.
As you all know, my father passed away a year ago. His insurance policy had not reached maturity and therefor did not pay anything but the premiums paid in. It was a mere $300. Aside from that, I have received no money towards his burial expenses. It was almost $7000 and I have paid down as much as I can. My two sisters are supposed to be paying on this as well but they are both flat broke. The funeral home charges us a whopping 18% interest per month on the balance. The payment I am able to make barely covers the interest and I was unable to make payments over the holidays. They are now threatening to sue me. I am paying every dime I can but I am basically just paying the interest. At this rate, I will never get it paid. I need help.
I would like to say that I don’t honestly expect any of my readers to donate. I am posting this on the off chance that Donald Trump, Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey, Montel Williams or some other wealthy celebrity stumbles upon my page and feels generous enough to help me out of a bind. It can’t hurt to try, right?
