Chronically ill 3 yr old needs help

Donation protected

This is VERY humbling for me to do...In October 2014 I was laid off. At the time I felt it was a blessing in disguise. As I was suddenly forced to deal with several Intussusception episodes with my 3 year old. Several trips to the ER. And in February she had to undergo abdominal surgery to try to find the cause for the episodes. At the same time I was also caring for my mom who had a L5-S1 fusion. And I also fell while caring my 3yr old down the stairs and broke my foot in 2 spots.

She since has had to undergo 3 more surgeries and has had several more ER visits that are an hour away due to the specialists needing her at their hospital during an episode so they can run tests and see exactly what is going on.

During all this I have also had car troubles to the point I have to pull over and shut the vehicle off let everything reset before I can continue on our way. This happening during an episode is not ideal whatsoever. As the local ambulance will not transport her to the specialty hospital unless she is seen at the local hospital first which just kills time because they can not treat her due to her age.

And...my unemployment had ended. I have had 3 interviews through all of this. Still waiting to hear from the last one I had 2 weeks ago right before she went into her most recent episode which lasted a week and caused us to have emergent surgery to place a camera in her small intestine to try to view from the inside what's going on. She developed minor complications that forced us to be hospitalized once again.

The cost of gas, food for myself, and childcare has gotten out of control to the point I have exhausted my last funds. Had it not been for her illnesses I wouldn't have gone through my savings as rapidly as I have. I'm only looking for 2 months worth of my bills to give me some more time in finding a new job.

Whatever can be given will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

P.s. if u want an education on Intussusception I will gladly give it to you. It's and AWFUL thing for a child to go through. And the specialists are at a lose right now. We are considering Boston for a 2nd opinion.
