Help Disabled mother and daugh
Donation protected
am a disabled 34 year old who is a single mother of a disabled child. My name is Lauren, my daughter Gabrielle has autism diagnosed at 3 years old. I myself have a brainstem tumor since age 19 when I was diagnosed. I have had 3 brain surgeries and radiation therapy, and because of all these problems I have facial disfiguration, and also accidents that lead to more problems- loss of hearing in my right ear, and loos of eye sight in my left eye. I'm in constant pain and I will have to take medication for the rest of my life. Growing up all I wanted was a family to provide a loving home. My daughters biological father abandoned her at age 1. I met a man who I was engaged to for over 10 years, my called him Dad. He became addicted to drugs and alcohol, and at the end I begged him to stop for Gabby and so we could stay together. He always promised my daughter he would never leave her, but he chose drugs, and left us. I know deep down it hurts her. I can see the depression and lack of interest in her eyes. I want the best for her, and as a mother it hurts me everyday. So I'm alone, we're poor, I'm in pain, and I'm a mother. I just want a house, something for my daughter and to be healthy and happy in life. I worry about her future as an autistic child. I want to provide a stable home for her and I live happy. I am fearful now. I cannot work because of my tumor and poor eyesight and hearing. I don't get much money from dissability to ever buy a home. Where my daughter and I live now the bank is in the process of forclosure even our A/C does not work. Everyday is a stuggle. Please Help my family. I have no where else to go.
