Help Brooks and his mom

Hi, my name is Alicia Davidson and I’m a single mother to an amazing 6 year old boy named Brooks. I know a lot of you may not know me and I am not one to ask for help but I’ve had a series of unfortunate events happen in my life and I could use a little help.

The only good that has been produced in these last 7 years has been my son, Brooks. I want to tell you a little about my life and how things have been going for me. I hope you have the time to listen. I don’t want to make it seem like I’m complaining or asking for sympathy and I know everyone has struggles but I’m in a really tough spot and I need my friends and family on my side.

When I became pregnant with Brooks I found out that he had only developed part of his right leg. It’s a condition called fibular hemimelia, where most or all of the fibula is missing. I was devastated when I found out, not because I would love my son any different but because I thought I had done something wrong. I thought it was my fault even though it wasn’t. Brooks is the strongest kid I know though and we’ve overcome a lot together.

After Brooks turned 8 months old, his dad and I split. I was left with no vehicle and had to move in with my parents. Mind you, my parents have been my strongest supporters and I wouldn’t have gotten through any of this without them. For a few years I was in a deep depression. I didn’t work and I had many issues come up along the way.

I finally got my head straight after a while and was doing good for a few years until I got attacked by a dog in 2022, was scammed out of all my savings in 2023 and then was in a car accident in October 2023. I broke my wrist and had to deal with appointments and all the fun that insurance is.

Things again seemed to be going alright again until April 22nd 2025 when I had a CT scan done and the doctor’s found a 8.5 inch ovarian cyst. Thankfully, it’s not cancerous. I had to get an MRI and schedule surgery. I’m already in my head and distraught, when I get into another car accident. Now I’m dealing with insurance again, all the while working myself up over my surgery and how I’m going to afford all my bills since I won’t be working for two weeks while I recover.

Everyone has struggles and I know that people have it worse than me but if I didn’t need help, I wouldn’t be asking. Thank you if you made it this far.
