Update #4: Most know the story of my turmoil. I've had to close the sewing shop, but I'm still trying to keep the business going from another location. I'm still needing assistance with my financial situation. I'm hoping that GIVING TUESDAY will help. Update #3: I have been told not to be long-winded because people won't read it. I hope someone will take the time to read this because this is my story. Yes...We began the LFEBridge to help keep the doors open for JSJ Jeans. Yes...I needed help to pay my employees because, in the beginning, I paid everyone out of my personal account. Yes...Covid was the first nail in our coffin. Supply problems were the second and I ran out of money was the third. Through all this, my son's health began to fail. He started oxygen 24 hours a day. We were told by the doctors that Jeff may have 6 to 9 months to live. Jeff had been in and out of the hospital and staying 2 to 3 weeks at a time from April to July 17, 2024, when it was his last trip. On June 17, the storm started Jeff's decline. Being without electricity, Jeff's machine could not work; even though we had the canisters, they were not strong enough for the length of time he was on them. He was running out of air. I could not get the garage door opened to get him to the hospital and no one was answering their phones. PSO had a letter from the doctors that Jeff could not be without electricity because of his oxygen machine. He couldn't be without for more than 2 minutes. We watched PSO work on neighbors' houses and pass by ours. My calls to PSO did not do any good. They even acknowledged the letter from the doctor about Jeff being on oxygen and needing electricity 24/7. Jeff had spent 3 weeks in the hospital and on July 17, he collapsed on the floor of his room I saw the look in his eyes while waiting for the ambulance. It was a look I can never get out of my head. They pronounced him gone at 1400 (2 pm) which is wrong because Jeff left us earlier than that. There is so much more to my story, but this is as short as I can make it. The update about losing my son and house is true. I have sold stock to help other people start businesses and was never paid back, but I had to pay taxes on that money. I owe my attorney and back taxes and my accountant. Update #2: I used my retirement to open a small sewing shop that could employ my friends and family. It has been a struggle to keep the doors open. I loaned several people money to start their own businesses and to save their homes. Unfortunately, I was never paid back. My son's health began failing in 2017 and for the last 9 months, I have watched my son get weaker. He's been rushed to the hospital numerous times. July 17th, 2024 was his last ride. The look in my son's face as he struggled to breathe is embedded in my head. I have medical bills that I cannot pay. I have tax problems that I cannot pay because the money I loaned was from stock and it put me in tax trouble. Now, I am facing the loss of my own house. I am asking one last time for help. If there isn't any help this time, I will never ask again. Update: My son passed away on July 17. I didn't even have the money to give him a memorial service and thank goodness the Cherokees covered the cremation. I'm still needing help with funds to keep my house or I'll lose my house. Please find it in your heart to help and give what you can. I know there are a lot of scammers out there, but this is a truthful situation and I need help. I'm in danger of losing my house in less than a month because of tax problems. My son is extremely ill and living with me. He's been in and out of the hospital numerous times in the past three months with COPD and congestive heart failure and is on oxygen. Please help me to fix my financial situation so that my son and I have a place to live. For the past 3 years, I've put all my money into my small business, John's Specialty Jeans. I've tried so hard to keep the doors open and to keep employees with paychecks, that I haven't been able to take care of my taxes. I'm now to the point where I'm out of options. Please help.
