Bad Luck Disabled Man Seeks Grant Money Or Other Help For Rent
by Jarrod Woogerd
(Hilliard, Ohio, USA)
My name is Jarrod Lee Woogerd and I was born in 1980 at Marion General Hospital. I grew up in Mt. Gilead, Ohio and attended school there for the most part.
I never got good grades no matter how hard I tried. And no matter how hard I tried I was never able to fit in well. I was always teased and made fun of because of my curly red hair.
After my parents were divorced when I was 10 years old the situation only got worse.
When I was around 14 I moved with my father in Crestline, Ohio. I ended up with the wrong crowd and then ended up quitting school.
I got my diploma when I was 22 years old and then studied web design some and got a diploma for that.
I felt so alone in the world so I turned to alcohol for almost two years. No relationships worked out for me at all.
I lost my grandfather in 2006 and he meant everything to me. Around this same time I started talking to a girl in the Philippines. As soon as I saw her on webcam I knew I was going to marry her.
I know that may sound strange. I stopped drinking and regained my composure and, well as time progressed we talked more and more and I went there on March 16th, of 2007.
We ended up getting married and my three-week visit turned into well over two years. During that time I worked there, I struggled, I suffered, but it's ok because I had her.
I came back to the states on July 24th of 2009. I finished her petitioning process. I worked in the customer service field for quite some time and then she arrived in January of 2010.
I ended up losing my job due to panic attacks induced by stress. So we moved to Columbus, Ohio from Galion, Ohio. She was unable to get a job in that small town anyway.
I got a job with a local call center here in which I didn't even make it through training. I failed my final test before I hit the floor.
Not because I was unable to do it well, but because I was being attacked by bugs in my sleep. We were never able to determine what it was. But when I woke up I was swollen and broken out to allergic reactions.
My lips swelled shut, my hands swelled up so large that I could not use them. And due to lack of attendance I was unable to require enough knowledge to pass my test.
After that I got into an accident where I backed into someone's tailgate while fishing. A week later I got in another one where a woman had to go to the ER.
Her back was already hurt from a previous accident and it hurt her more. My wife now currently works two jobs and my rent is due on the 15th.
The apartment office will not give me an extension even though they did not fix my problem with the infestation I had.
I had to set off bug foggers myself, which fixed the problem. If they could extend it till the 25th then we may be fine.
My rent is around $700 per month. I really desperately need help paying it. I could pay anyone back partially on the 19th and then the rest on the 1st of Sept.
I am desperate and I immediately need aid. Can anyone help us?
