<div>Hello guys this is my story
</div>
<div>To not make this long I’m going to give a recap. I was born to hardworking and good hearted immigrants. I had a troubling childhood. Moved around a lot, bullied, was molested, lived in shelters. A week before my senior year of highschool my dad was arrested and taken to jail. This cut me off from my siblings and cousins for about 5 yrs (they live in Texas) It was hard to communicate and see each other. Last year 2024, my dad and stepfather both got stage 4 cancer at the same time. Since my father was in jail i couldn’t speak to him and was only able to see him 2x for a brief 5-10 minute call. My stepdad ended up passing away from his cancer but my dad by the grace of God survived. My dad was giving 2 choices to stay in a hospital and fight (as his doctors only give him a month to live) or go home a die. He chose to fight (his words). He then got a stroke. He got released this year January 2025. But he is wheelchair bound and could barely move and talk. He is currently recovering and doing better but still learning how to function properly. My mother got diagnosed with stage 4 primary peritoneal cancer 4 days after my birthday 6/6. She is still currently fighting it and my dad recovering. The day my mom was released from the hospital I rescued a baby kitten which ended up biting me and causing my whole hand to get swollen and me getting 17 shots. I was admitted that same day and missed work and now have medical bills I can’t pay for. With all of this going on I have fallen behind on bills and i am drowning in medical bills, and debts. I am the only one that works and I take care of my mom. My father has moved closer to me and is being cared for by my aunt and I can finally see him and help him when I can. Becuase I make “too much money” they brought down our food assistance to 25$ a month. I can’t afford to buy food and me and my mom are staying afloat by the grace of God. I am at a standstill. I’m exhausted and drowning. I just need some help to get back on my feet. I graduated with an associates and wanted to go back to school and I can’t anymore. I took a year off to save and then go back and now I can’t. I am stuck. If you can help out in some way shape or form it would mean the world to me. And if you’ve read this may God bless you
