Emergency Help for Eviction

Donation protected
Thank you for taking the time to read this, please if you cannot help, all I ask is that you share my link and my story. Thank you so much for your time and thank you even more so for you help and donations.

Back on February 27th, I had double pulmonary embolisms, they called them saddle clots. Both of my lungs were attacked at the same time. I spent a week in the CCU and it took me two months to recover and in the process, my job let me go due to recovery time. Unfortunately they were within their rights, since it was a new job to me.  

Then on April 26th, I started hemorrhaging, though I didn't know that is what I was doing at the time. I just thought I was having a very abnormal monthly.  My doctor called me on a fluke, she wanted to tell me some information, she heard how weak I was sounding and made me come into see her. I barely made it there and once I arrived I ended up passing out in her office and being carted away in an ambulance. I was told that if I had went back to sleep as I had planned, I would have never woken up again. My kids would have found me in my bed, dead.  All because I am stubborn and thought I was just having an abnormal period.  Turns out I was bleeding to death. I had what they called a fibroid in my uterus and it is against a blood vessel causing even more blood loss. After about another week in the hospital, they let me go home. I would later find out it was more than a fibroid, it was cancerous.  Since April 26th, I have been back into the hospital 5 times and I keep having to have blood transfusions because I lose blood every single day. No break from the blood loss at all. Some days are worse that others.  I am due to have surgery here soon, but found out that it will take 6 to 9 weeks to recover from my hysterectomy. I had no idea it would take me even longer to heal. I thought I could go back to work in two weeks. That is not the case. My health deteriorates each day. Though I get blood transfusions, my body grows weaker and weaker. It takes almost all of my energy just to go to the ladies room. Not too mention I keep passing out, which by the way, is not fun at all. Through all of this I was driving for Lyft to barely make ends meet, but now I am unable to even do that. I have absolutely no income coming in. I try to sell the things I make ,but I am too weak to even make things to sell any more. 

I know the amount I am asking for is a bit outrageous. Truthfully, I am only trying to raise enough money to pay all of my back bills and rent. I am trying this as my absolute last resort . I have already used other charitable venues to keep me afloat up til now. As I am writing this, I will most likely be evicted within the next two weeks. We have no where to go, absolutely no where and I have no money whatsoever to put our stuff in storage so we won't lose everything we have, and we really don't have much. This is not the first time we have had to start over but it most certainly has been the biggest struggle myself and my boys have been put through.  I don't like asking for help ,but I know that I must do so. Otherwise we will lose everything. I just need help to make it until I am healed from my hysterectomy. I am and have always been a pay it forward kind of woman. I know many of people who would testify that I am a truthful and good person. I have helped many a person in my life, now I am begging for your help.

If you read this in its entirety, thank you so much for your time. Please help and share my story.
