Prayers and Financial Help Appreciated

I am usually not one to ask for help, especially when it comes to financial reasons. Money has a tendency to be a sticky subject all around. I also tend to think that I can do everything on my own because I am an independent woman. Sadly, I have been here before. I have gone down this path of surgery and recovery and it doesn't matter how independent you are, this requires help. For me, this time is a little different. This time I am not living at my parents house and driving a car that is fully paid for. I am older with adult responsibilities. After this surgery, I go back to a rent payment, regular bills, medical bills and living expenses.

Wednesday, January 30th I found out that I will need abdominal surgery due to an obstruction in my small intestine. Having gone through this before, I am somewhat ready mentally to climb this mountain but there is a fear in my heart of how I will handle this financially. Not being at my current job for a year has prevented me from having that PTO cushion. The lack of me not having PTO hit early this year when I was admitted into the hospital on New Year's day. I was discharged a week later but I felt the financial hit when I received my most recent paycheck. Tomorrow, February 1st, I will have major abdominal surgery that will have me out of work for over a month. This makes me cry in fear of what is next. Financial burdens can be some of the scariest burdens we as humans deal with and it is weighing on me heavily today. How am I going to pay rent? How am I going to make my car payment? How am I going to afford food and living expenses once I come home? How am I going to afford all these medical bills. My mind is spinning like those bucket rides at the fairgrounds and I think I am even feeling the nausea kick in.

I firmly believe that The Lord has a plan and that He protects his children. He turns all our pains and trials into good. Like I said before, I am not one to ask for help but today I felt led to start this fundraiser and write my story. I am here today asking for your help.
It will not be the end of the world if I don’t have help financially. There will be a lesson learned here and The Lord will walk me through this season of my life. If all you can give is your continuous prayer, I will be more than blessed that my name left your lips. But today, if you feel led to give, my heart will forever be thankful.
