Assist Kerri Mims: Overcoming Tragedy

My name is Kerri Mims, and this is the hardest thing that I’ve ever written. It’s really hard for me to ask for help, but I feel like I’m drowning. I’ve buried both of my children and two of my three brothers. Last year, I was hit by a car, which broke my neck. The money that I received from the insurance company is less than half of the money I was making when I got hit by the car. I relied so heavily on my credit cards that they started slashing my credit limits, and that was money I was depending on to pay my bills. I’ve never asked for help before, but I truly need it. If you could find it in your heart to give anything, it would mean the absolute world to me. I’ve tried so hard to help other people. I’ve given money when I could. I’ve shared the stories of my children in the hopes that other people would be helped, and I’ve never wanted anything in return, but I’m asking for help now. I’ve exhausted every other avenue I can think of. I’ve gone to my family for loans. I’ve gone to my bank for loans. I just can’t make it on my own without help from my friends and people who care. Most days, it takes everything in me just to keep my head above water emotionally and spiritually because I miss my children so much, and now that I’m at a point where I can’t even pay my bills, I just feel so broken. Please help if you can. This is the most embarrassing, humiliating thing I’ve ever done, but I’m asking for help because I truly need it. No one ever plans to bury their children. That’s not something you save for. I just need a break. I just need everything not to feel so heavy. I feel so hopeless. I feel absolutely humiliated that I’m gonna put this up and no one will respond. If you know me, you know that I do everything I can to help other people, so please, now I’m asking for your help. I should’ve asked for help a long time ago, but I was too proud. God forgive me. Please help if you can.
