Single Mother in Need of Help

Donation protected
Let me start by saying that my mom is a badass. My biological dad left when he found out my mom was pregnant. She had me when she was 19, continued going to school while raising me, and I think she did a pretty damn good job. She became a nurse when I was 17 by going to school full time, raising three kids, and working full time.  Last year she was in a divorce, the only thing my mom could afford was a  run down trailer from the 60's with the goal of remodeling it to a livable standard.          Last week, she sustained an injury at work (she's currently working at the jail and her Nurse Practitioners license) causing my mom to twist her knee. My mom is going to need surgery. If she does she will be out of work for at least three months. She's not going to be able to walk her 2 year old husky. She can't enjoy southwest Colorado the way she raised me to. No hikes, no paddleboarding, no rafting. Next winter she might not even be able to snowboard. After being left by my former step dad, she has to raise my little brother, work full time, and somehow find the time to finish her practicals in school.            Please-- every little bit helps. My little brother, sister, and myself are doing everything we can to help her stay positive, but we can't afford to help with any of the medical bills or replace wages and neither can extended family. She deserves better than what life has dealt her, and I want to try to help as much as I can,  and that's why I created this campaign, I love my mom, and if finances are hard, I understand. I ask that you please share this and my mom's story. I love her and all she has ever wanted to do is help others, and no one has ever seemed able to helped her.
