Caring For Corrie
Donation protected
My name is Valerie and my 31 year old daughter, Corrie, is in need of urgent surgery. Her doctor said it will require a recovery period of 6 to 8 weeks, during which time she will be virtually bed ridden. She has put it off for as long as she could because she will have no way of paying her basic living expenses during her recovery period. However, today the doctor said it needs to be done NOW. She can not wait any longer.
She will find out on Monday, May 8th, the exact date of the surgery.
Corrie is the mother of 4 children. The youngest are 4 year old twins. She does not receive child support because she has shared custody of the oldest two, and the father of the twins cannot be located.
She has health insurance through her employer, but she will still have fairly large, out-of-pocket medical bills. She needs help paying her rent, utilities, health and car insurance, car payment, food etc., during her recovery period.
She also risks losing the daycare provider for the twins unless she can pay her something during this time. The babysitter will be hard to replace because not many are willing to work the hours Corrie works. She drops the twins off at 5:30 a.m. and works 40-70 hours per week. She works weekends too, when she can.
She has contacted every agency she could find but none of them can help because she is otherwise employed full time. They tell her she will have to make do with her short term disability, which she calculates will be about $90 a week, after deductions. She has about 8 hours of paid time off left thorough work.
She estimates that she will need from $4,000 to $6,000 to make ends meet during that month and a half to two months.
We will be helping as much as we can, but I lost my job 2 years ago, due to illness, and we’re still trying to recover from that.
She is so worried about this. Please help if you can. Any amount will be appreciated.
Thank you so very much.
I also have a blog where I tell of the funny things my grandkids do. (Caution. I have 10 grandkids!)
