Love,Loss,Pain, and Getting Lost

Donation protected
Hi my name is Tracey and im trying to raise money for my family so we dont lose our house. You see in 2014 My mom's biological father passed away, whom she had not seen since she was 5. She found him on an online site. After a few years my mother and sister traveled back and forth to visit. Taking into account his age and health, we all came to the conclusion that we didn't have much time left, so he decided to move out here. So we all bought a house together (manufactured home). Unfortunately we did not put a lot of thought into it. So with that my grandmother sold her mobile home, that was a small single wide, that housed my grandmother and disabled mother and disabled uncle. They managed to find a double wide that fit everyone. Unfortunately, my grandfather started to get gravely ill within a few months after they moved in he passed. At that time my grandmother and mother asked if I would move in to help pay monthly expenses. Also at that time we found out my grandmother had pancreatic cancer, which had spread to her liver. She was doing fine until she fell and broke her hip. We lost her in November time also the most generous loving woman My Grandmother. She loved her family took pride in taking care of anyone of us. An was my second best friend next to my mom. She was the best grandmother anyone could ask for or need. She loved helping people I mean in my youth she would take teens in who were troubled and their own parents couldn't handle them, and believe me no one disrespected her. And after a month or so they went home more respectful, well that was over 25 yrs ago. So now a little over 3 yrs ago she started chemo after finding out about the cancer. (Pancreatic Cancer) it helped some just made her sick,but for the most part it really was helpful one day we came back from the cancelation of my lease to move in with them to help out and it made my grandmother so happy being there. Everytime she saw my face hers lit up so my mom tells me. Well that day she tripped and fell moving towards her desk and fell I tried to catch her but did make it on time , but when she couldn't get back up or us trying to help her she would scream in pain. Yep folks she broke her hip and this was the start of my grandma downward spiral and the beginning of me not sleeping for a month and a half Cuz I was afraid to loose her if I slept. Well she spent time in hospital, and then a rehab to have physical therapy which was helping , but at the same time she got sick and was back in hospital and it was back and forth from then on. This was heartbreaking to our family for she was the patriarch of our family the glue that kept us together. I was losing my grandmother and I just prayed and prayed to god please don't take her I still need her! My grandmother and my step grandfather( he passed 11 years ago he was my best friend) whom was my real grandfather to me where the only ones that could calm me and use to get me through anything that were my rock besides my mother. And who was going to get me through this pain when she passes?! I'm still not over it. Well since she passed we have been struggling and sinking further in debt. We are behind on payments, bills and rapidly losing this house. We think we can makes it to spring but are unsure. We just need that little bit of help and prayers to get us back on our feet. That's why we look to you to help us out and believe me you will be thanked, appreciated, and definitely in our prayers! We also let go and give it to God because honestly he will be the one to let this help from all of you happen. Praise God and God Bless each an Everyone of you!
