The past year and a half has been a real financial battle for our family. My husband is blind and gets very little Social Security. I work full time but over the past year and a half I was laid off for several weeks and some weeks I did work didn%26#039;t get 40 hours. Over that time we racked up a lot of credit card debt. We both have called the credit card company that we are most in debt to to reduce interest but they have told us no and another time told us to call a debt management company. I don%26#039;t want to mare my credit anymore I%26#039;m trying to regain my high credit status. Is there any way we could get help because of our situation , because he is disabled? I%26#039;ve looked up all I can think of and haven%26#039;t come across anything, a lot of stuff is for low income which we fall just above.
Is there any relief for blind individuals or disabled people on Social Security Disability?
Sorry, but there are no programs that will pay off your credit card debts.
While you were unemployed or underemployed you could have applied for any public assistance that you may have qualified for such as food stamps, help with utility payments, or rent subsidies. etc. Many local churches run programs for people who need temporary assistance.
Wish you the best.

My wife was blind. (she died 11 years ago) and all I can say is that it certainly was hard. I can tell you that you must get rid of the credit cards! Somehow! and just life within you means. It really sucks.
