60-Year-Old Abused Homeless Disabled Divorcee Seeks Grant Money For Home

I am a 60-year-old woman. I was employed by one of the department stores. Last February I lost my job like many people.

My husband filed for divorce after 34 years of marriage. Now my problem is that I have no job and it is hard for me to find one because of my physical condition. I have severe osteoporosis.

I have no health insurance and no place to live. I left the house because I have no money to pay for the mortgage, so he is staying in till it is sold. When? I don't know.

The unemployment payment that I was living on is almost over. I used my 401K money to pay my lawyer for the divorce case.

This is my story. I don't know. Is it fair after all these years find myself in the street? I was a housewife most of our marriage. I started to work just the last nine years.

I raised three kids. I never asked for anything more than to live in dignity. He abused me physically, mentally, and emotionally.

I preferred to stay because of my kids and hoping that one day he would stop all of this.

But when he found that I have no more income, and that I was having health problems he kicked me out.

I know he has a lot of money but I have no proof where he put it. That's why I ended with nothing at this age. I have to ask for help from my kids or strangers.

This is my story. I don't know if there is help for me somewhere. If not, God is there. He won't forget anybody.

I wish that some day women won't suffer anymore from abusive husbands.
