I was declared disabled 6 years ago, which was a blessing really. I Kept falling in and out of homelessness, I finally got into a stable living situation with my now husband about 9 years ago. We married about a year after marriage equality was passed and we could finally marry. We were happy to live our simple life greatful to have com little appartmant, withom little dog & on tinis, itty bitty garden. As time often does, it got our attention & he started to notice that though I'm broken in a number of ways. Then are still a# of ways I Could can earn money but everyway involves space. I paint. draw, sculpt, and I can make soaps, Lotions what not. my husband is able to refurbish among womany other skills we share. All of Which could Earn Money.
we decided that we wanted to buy a home. On problem. well lots of problem. We are low income. Because of DSHS and Housing rules we aren't allowed to save much. If we do we lose Benifits. or we pay more For rent or we this that….etc. So I decided to give this a shot. I brought our credit Over the last year,brought it up so well that We've been able to get a couple credit cards, Call Service that isn't prepaid.
So I'm trying this. I hopeing its one of a couple good calls I'm going to make over the next few days.
That's part of our story Where we are right now. wish us luck. let us wish you all luck & let's help one another reach our goals even if its with words of encouragement an suggestions of things to look into.
Its Nice to be here with you all, heres to hope !

I'm confused, you're not allowed to save but you can have credit cards?

I’m trying to get a home too. I’m 41, taking college classes, going through my 2nd divorce, working full-time, I have 4 kids (one is in the marine corps). My 2 teens are doing online schooling because of COVID and my youngest (thank goodness) is still going to school. With all of this going on I can’t seem to find help anywhere. I only make like $26,000 a year.
