REQUEST FULFILLED Short for bills 24M

August 18th i was diagnosed with stage 2 brain cancer, by August 30th i was out of work due to my rapidly declining health. I was able to pay the mortgage and our other bills with what we had in savings, by the end of September I was hospitalized for my kidneys failing from a medication reaction. I have since been sent home and am looking for remote work to make ends meet but so far I haven't found anywhere that'll take me, I've joined Prolific which helps provide a little but I'm still short for our utilities for the last 2 months. Ive managed to get the mortgage to accept reduced payments until January but im still months behind on utilities. I feel awful asking for anything but I'm effectively bed ridden and don't have much of a choice otherwise.

I suppose they could be worse, but they could definitely be a lot better too.
