Bella’s Circle of Love

Hello, my name is Melissa Jase, and Bella is my beautiful 5-year-old daughter. She's beautiful, smart, energetic, lovable, charismatic, and so much more. She's everything to me. I'm a single mother working hard to provide for my baby girl. I couldn't be more proud of her. Things have been tough over the last few months, but I was just starting to get back on my feet. I recently started a new work-from-home job but had to take off due to my daughter becoming ill which means I am going to not be able to pay my bills or necessities.

Bella's been sick since coming home from school on November 2nd. She spiked a very high temperature of 104.7. Despite giving her medication it wasn't coming down. I took her to the ER for treatment where she was diagnosed with the flu. Her symptoms did not get better despite my best efforts. We took multiple trips to the ER/urgent care and her pediatrician's office. Finally, after back-to-back trips to her pediatrician's office, she was able to see her pediatrician and was admitted to the hospital on Saturday, November 12th, where she was diagnosed with mycoplasma pneumonia.

I have not been able to work since taking care of my daughter. I don't have a car, it has been very expensive to pay for rides to get her back and forth to the doctor. As I mentioned earlier, I was just starting to get back on my feet when this happened. I recently started a new job a month ago and was in training. I've been keeping my job in the loop of my daughter's condition, but have been taken out of training until my return. My prayer is that I don't lose my job and will be allowed into a new training class once Bella is better and I'm able to return to work.

Here I am asking for help. I try my best to do whatever I need to take care of my baby girl, but not working is going to put me behind in my upcoming bills. If you have it in your heart, please help. Also, please keep Bella in your prayers. I am praying and believing in God for complete and total healing, and strength during these trying times. I know you can't have a testimony without a test. This is my test.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who donates, prayers, and offers words of encouragement.

Update: We we’re transferred to Children’s hospital in Jackson Mississippi on Thursday

Nov 16. Her fever is still there and the pneumonia but the flu is gone. Just waiting to here from the infectious disease doctor tomorrow morning. Thank you all for the continued prayers and donations.

update: We made it home Saturday and everything is ok although Bella is still recovering and getting back to her old self. I called to see if I still had my job and they told me I’m getting terminated after showing them proof of everything.

Thank you from Bella and me!
