Help After Surgery

I'm Kim; a single parent of a bright, loving, talented child with some developmental challenges.  It's just the two of us and so things become challenging whenever I am sick, since I am my daughter's sole means of  support; even more so because I work for myself.  As a self-employed individual, things become particularly challenging when I am unwell since our income is based primarily on how much and when I work.

Which brings me to the point.  I have been suffering for a long time with pain and other issues which has come to a head recently requiring me to have a major surgery.  This surgery will prevent me from working for  four to eight weeks.  This will cause my daughter and I to be in unique circumstances financially and also with the support she may need otherwise during this time.

I am reaching out to my family, friends and any others who are so inclined to please help us in this time of need. For anyone who knows me well enough, knows that this is not at all an easy thing for me to do.  You see, I am accostumed to being the helper and very independent.  But I find in times, such as these, there is no getting around seeking support for things you simply cannot do on your own.

Any money will go toward our rent, food, utilities, other regular monthly expenses, as well as anything that may come up unexpectedly from me not being able to carry out my typical responsibilities as a single mom.

The surgery is expected to happen late September this year. 

I want to stress that this is not an easy thing for me to ask but sincerely and whole-heartedly appreciate any donation of money, time  and/or prayers, that are afforded to Camille and I.  We appreciate any and all help no matter how seemingly small.  Its significant to us.

I am so very thankful that Camille and I have people in our lives that love us so much and are willing to extend themseleves, not just in this effort but generally,  in recent times.

Even if you are unable to contribute financially, please consider sharing this with others.

Thank you from the very bottom of our hearts.

Kim and Camille
