Hi Im Erika.
Its hard putting into words asking for help, especially being used to being the main provider for my family, admitting to being in a tough place feels difficult!
3 months ago my mom fell and fractured both hands, her back, dislocated her shoulder and injured her knees. Being an only child and having countless referral errors from her medical team, I took over all care for her since she lost the ability to use her hands as the fractures healed.
With a new move pending and limited movement for her, this ment I had to severely cut my work hours and availability as I cared for her. Being a full time provider for 3 people, mounting bills, continued medical appointments and everyday expenses, have taken a huge toll on me and my savings, which had already been impacted when Id been laid off last year, so much so that I have to accept that I need to reach out for help.
Im asking for help to be able to continue assisting my mom, providing for my daughter and getting a bit of support for us all as I get myself back on my feet and return to work to be able to cover bills, our new place, and our family expenses again.
With continued appointments for my mom until her hands function properly again and having to cover her expenses plus our own expenses, there continues to be a lot of strain on us financially. Unfortunately, my hands are tied in what I can do until shes healed completely. But ultimately I want to be able to ensure that until then, our family can be cared for.
Thank you for reading this far and for supporting our family. We are grateful beyond words for any help provided & would appreciate some prayers as we adjust to a new normal as well.
Thank You!
Erika
