This mom with a chronic illness needs your help. Deidre is the mom of four-year-old, beautiful Brynn.  A single parent, she has a full-time job and works as hard as she can to care for herself and Brynn.  Unfortunately Deidre suffers from a chronic illness and has been in the hospital numerous times over the last year.  Her treatment thus far has included a couple of surgeries in addition to treatment of the painful symptoms. While she has opted for FMLA leave at work, the unfortunate aspect of that is a lack of income.  Deidre and Brynn have their basic needs covered, but Deidre is currently hospitalized and has been unable to keep up with her personal debts during this trying time. She is seeking assistance to catch up on her daycare payments for Brynn. The past due amount must be paid by the end of this month or Deidre will lose the assistance she needs for Brynn's care.  She is also facing repossession of her vehicle if the payments are not brought current. The modest need to achieve these goals is $2,500, with time of the essence. 
If Deidre is able to meet this goal, she will be more able to maintain their ongoing needs once she is released from the hospital.  At that time, she will return to work part-time while she seeks disability benefits.
