Wouldn't it be smart to move back to the U.S. where you can at least collect disability (since you are disabled)? It's not a ton of money but at least it's something coming in every month.

Go stand out on the street corner you god dam bum. I can't believe you have the nerve to come here and beg to complete strangers.

You can collect disability/social security/etc. right there in PR. It's a US territory.

I know that pretty much all of you folks here don't really know me, so I will completely understand if no one can help but it's worth a try. My wife and I have been struggling for the past few months to keep our house. We used to have a decent job that paid well, but it ended in March 2009 due to the company's boneheaded decisions (they lost contracts with companies down here in PR due to their refusal to adapt to the hispanic market). Since then, we have had problems finding work, but somehow always managed to pull it off. Well, we're now about 2 1/2 months behind on our rent, and the owner of our house called earlier tonight and told me that if we don't come up with the rent by tomorrow then he is going to take us to court. My wife recently found employment with the federal government, but payroll takes awhile to start for new employees so she won't see a paycheck until well into February. I'm disabled so my ability to work is limited and that's why I've been working on my new blog and planning for a video sales site. Of course, lack of money has hindered that plan as well. When I manage to get it running, it WILL be very successful, as I already have a pretty big line of people waiting for it to open. But in the meantime...if we don't come up with almost $3000 by tomorrow evening, we're gonna be homeless. So I'm wondering if there is anyone at all here that would be able to loan us some money to prevent us from losing our home. We literally have nowhere to go if we lose it, and though sure, eviction takes awhile, but once you start down the eviction path, it creates that unrecoverable rift between tenant and landlord. Can anyone help us? I really hate to beg but we're literally out of options here. :(

At some point it doesn't matter what she wants. I'd love to live in Beverly Hills in a mansion but I can't afford to do so. If it's coming to the point where you are asking strangers for money, it's time she re-thought her priorities.

Her family already lives with us. :D Her sister lives upstairs with us, and her mother lives in the downstairs apartment. When we first looked at the house, it had to be big enough for all of us...five adults and two children (her other sister was involved at the time too, she comes and goes every few months). This was the best house we could find for a decent price. But yeah...we're gonna leave it behind and move out, I think. I've been looking at cheaper properties in Camuy/Hatillo/Arecibo today as well as in southern Florida.

Her sister that's here full-time stays with the kids when we work, which I suppose is worth more than money in the long run since we don't have to pay a babysitter who we would never be able to fully trust and would cost too much. Her other sister...oh man, I don't even wanna get into that mess. :( Her mother works as a history teacher in Camuy, with a masters in English and a PhD in history...yet she makes less than the average bachelor's degree teacher because the DOE has dragged their feet for the past 5 years in getting teacher raises. The only reason she's stuck it out with them is because they pay for her university classes...otherwise, she would have split for Texas long ago, where she knows she can easily get a job as a bilingual teacher for higher pay.
