  Good Morning!

This is my story. I have always lived with my family, my grandmother and mother three generations of women in one house with really no intentions of living apart. Though all that was torn away when my mother revealed having breast cancer, due to a tumor that she could no longer hide. She attempted to have it removed but it turned out to be aggressive cancer that grew back almost immediately. It was my 80-year-old grandmother that overheard her telling the nurses that she hid cancer for almost two years, and by that point, it had spread to every organ in her body but her brain and deciding to refuse treatment she passed away not to longer afterward. Leaving just myself and my grandmother living together, and it was clear that as time passed she was developing dementia. She steadily got worse by the fourth year after my mother passed. My aunt had become her legal guardian and she and I tag teamed with visiting nurses to see to her care while I also worked two jobs. February, she was admitted to the hospital because all the antibiotics she been on had killed all the good digestive bacteria in her track. From there, doctors decided that from there on she needed to be placed in a nursing home permanently.  So this left me alone, even with two jobs I barely make 22k a year and I am trying to make my way through college. The family house needs to be sold so the cost can continue to support my grandmothers nursing home needs.  I have saved up 500 for my security deposit but I wished to ask for help in raising my first month's rent and help to get on top of other expenses which includes a maxed out credit card that I've used to keep myself fed and clothed, and medical bills when I collapsed out cold at work. Which you ask why didn't workers comp pick it up, well they found a way to weasel out of it and no matter what I did the company continued to deny responsibility. The one thousand that I hope people will be generous to help me raise will be for my first month's rent for my new place the rest of it will go towards the credit card and the medical bills that I'm having trouble paying off. Thank you so much for your time.
