    Did Robert’s company have a health insurance plan? Some plans have an employee assistance hot line you can call and set up thearapy sessions for mental health issues. The one I have allows a dozen or so free visits to a therapist and then if you need to continue you pay half the cost if If I remember correctly. This is something his company shouldn’t take lightly. I think the future is gonna bring on more of this behavior as an easy way out for suicidal people in the big cities. Very sad.

    Wow what a tough crowd we have here!
    Cant believe (or I guess I can) all the A-hole remarks. She can read, post your license, etc.. I can help put some, but I have no idea who or where to send it to or how?
    But #### even if you thought it was a scam. The worst that could happen is your our a few bucks, or just keep your mouth #### and scroll on. SMH gessh

    As for the campground you are at, talk to management about the possibility of being ‘campground host’s’ or offer to help around the grounds in exchange for reduced, or possibility free rent for parking spot.
    Contact a mobile RV service/repair company concerning the toilet, offer to help them for a day or two in exchange for unplugging the black tank

    Its not a scam. And i helped out as much as i could. I wasnt being a ahole at all, in todays world you have to be careful of scams. Having her show some id was all i needed to verify it was not a scam. I would expect the same if i were in that situation. Im not giving my hard earned money away to anybody and everybody that asks for it cuz if i did i would go broke real quick like. I will pm you the link she sent me so you can help out too.

    As my dad would say

    Pull up your boot straps son and get back to work.

    I pulled my only son of 17 out of bed Christmas morning 10 years ago.

    Dead from Oxicotin overdose.

    I Lost everything meaningful in my life.

    I had to not only deal with my loss. But I had to deal with a Grieving borderline suicidal ex wife and a grieving grandfather.

    There were many other negative coincidental events going down before this fateful era in my life.

    I myself worked alone in a very remote area that I had Absolutely no desire to ever return to.

    But I had one choice.

    Either Face it and drive through and get beyond this Horrible period in my life or fall victim and lose everything.

    It was a battle I wish to never ever have to face again.

    It tested every belief I had .

    Charity will get you by for a month , but the reality in life is no one is going to take care of you but you.

    The thread has improved considerably far as "rudeness" goes. An I would say it shows the class of those who at first were skeptical and are now helping. Can't blame people for being skeptical. I can't speak for others, but I don't just hand out money to people who claim to need help.

    The OP far as I'm concerned is legit, hence my first post. I mean she did post what was asked of her(license, link, details)). Since then all the posts seem rather civil. Minus the one or two telling her husband to get over it. Trauma effects us all different. You going to tell a vet to get over it when he can't do his job, or live his life normal like everyone else due to his PTSD? Plenty of folks out there suffer due to traumatic events. Not my place to judge when they should be fit to go back to work. As others have said...I'm not in their shoes.

    To the OP...local food banks will help you also. As will many local churches, even if your staying in a camper. Car, camper, tent...the point is to help others. You just have to get in touch with them.

    To those helping out the OP....I salute you. Karma will look fondly upon you, and I'll buy you a drink if your ever around my sandbar. ;)

    Again...best of luck to the OP and her husband. Sucks dealing with stressful life events, even more so during unusual times as 2020 is shaping up to be.

    Sirscrapntruckalot - Likes seeing people helping people vs tearing them down.
