My wonderful Husband and myself

A life full of struggles

To make a long story short;
My name is Patsy Munoz, I am 43 and I live in Visalia, Ca. I have 5 children and 5 grandchildren. From past to present, my life has been full of struggles. From the age of 10 until i was 17, my parents had me out in the fields picking just about anything that grew from branches. At the age of 18 i had to turn to government help and at that time i was helping out my parents as well as my children. After going through terrible relationships, it wasn't up until i was 35 that i finally met this wonderful man, my Husband Freddy Munoz. For the past 8 years we thought that things would turn out very good but boy were we wrong! We went through very tough times, as recently losing our home, a pick-up truck and soon losing our s u v. We are now renting a 4 bedroom/2bath home and there are 13 of us. Me, my husband, my 26 year old daughter and her 4 children, my 23 year old son, his girlfriend, her daughter and their new born son, as well as my 2 younger daughters ages 16 and 14. We are barely making ends meet by keeping our heads above water and by living paycheck to paycheck, as well as going to loan places just to pay bills. There are many times where we stay without any money but making sure that we have enough gas to make it to work and back. In addition with the kind hearts i have to help out other fanily members with their struggles, leads to this short story for me to hopefully be a strong canidate to be picked. If i were to ever have a very good opportunity to finally get me out of my rutt, it would be now or never to get the money off my back. Thanks for taking the time to read my story.
