Help after organ donation
Donation protected
This is completely out of character for me to ask for help. I'm always the one who is the "giver". This gofundme is a last ditch effort so please no judgment. A little back story; I donated an organ less than a week ago to a non blood related person, which I had to fly out of state to do. I know it was a completely selfless act, which honestly is second nature for me. I would do so a million times over again in a million different lifetimes. In the 3 weeks leading up to the surgery, I lost my job where I'd been employed for 2½ years, then 6 days after that, my car went down. This is relevant because I was doing Lyft on the side on top of having a full-time job. When I lost my job, I didn't lose faith, because I knew I could still make quick income with lyft. Once my car became not drivable right after losing my job, I couldn't do lyft which was my instant backup source for income. I applied for unemployment naturally for the first time in my life thinking there's no way I won't get approved for it. I did get approved for the maximum weekly allowance. Two weeks went by, and I hadn't received any payment. I knew something was up, so I contacted them just to be told my unemployment got reversed and I no longer qualified. Completely in disbelief I asked why, and was told my job put my termination in as "employee misconduct", which obviously was 100% untrue, but also a disqualifying factor to receive unemployment. I still can't fathom why they did that, but that's on my list of things to handle once I get back in state. I constantly prayed for a miracle knowing at the time I had to fly out for surgery within a few days of finding that out. I've now had the surgery, I'm healing ok so far, even though it's only been a few days, but matters back at home are impossible to handle as far as rent, and the rest of my bills. I have 3 children, and absolutely zero family in the state that I live. I did search for other employment in that initial 3 weeks time period, but no one was willing to hire me knowing I'd have to be out for 6 weeks for surgery right after being hired. I'm not asking for much. Just enough to get me on my feet and alleviate some of this stress, so I can heal properly until I can physically be cleared to work again. I appreciate you all for taking a few minutes out of your day to read this. Anything is appreciated. I know God has me and already has a plan in place for me. The faith has not been lost. I'm a firm believer that everything happens for a reason, and that behind every downfall there is a blessing. God bless you and thank you.
