I have never been one to ask for help. I can't even believe I am doing this but seems like I am left with no choice. So, here goes...as many of you know my son, Justin, has been dealing with emotional/behavioral/mental issues for many years. Well in the last year or so things have just gotten progressively worse.

I have not been able to work for the past year because of having to be "on call" every day for him; whether it be waiting for a call from the school (which was almost every day), meetings at school, many doctors appointments, therapy, him refusing to go to school, or now his new half day schedule, etc. On top of all that trying to care for and be there for two other kids and their needs by myself.

Yesterday he was admitted into inpatient care, which is an hour and a half away, to get him stabilized emotionally/mentally. This is the hardest thing I have had to go through in my entire life. I am thanking God I still have him because I know people who have lost their child forever but it's not seeming to help with my pain right now. We have never been apart.

Thankfully, I was blessed with my loving and generous family. They have been my source of help financially for us to survive this whole time but they have run out of recourses to continue so here I am, basically begging for help. I have no income and we all know what happens when you don't pay your electricity or water bill!

I am asking anyone for any amount they could possibly afford to help with bills, household necessities, gas, food, etc until we can get him back to a place where he is stable and able to attend school all day regularly and I am able to start looking to get back to work. We have another long road ahead of us. Again, I would NEVER be asking for this type of help if I wasn't absolutely desperate. I love all of you and any amount of help for my family will be appreciated immensely.

*They make you put an amount goal and I don't have a specific amount of course because bills are never ending so I just put whatever*
