<div>Hi, my name is Latora, and I’m reaching out with a humble heart during one of the most difficult times in my life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am a mother to 3 amazing children who are truly my best friends. Being separated from them during this time has been heartbreaking. I missed the first day of school and was unable to take them back to school shopping.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Around August 11th or 12th, I suffered a mild stroke that affected the entire left side of my body. i had been feeling unwell and When I woke up after about 8 hours of sleep, something was seriously wrong. I had slurred speech, a left sided facial droop, and was completely unable to stand or move my left side.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I was rushed to Mercy Hospital by ambulance around 5 PM and spent 7 days in the ICU. On August 19th, I was transferred to Courage Kenny Rehabilitation Institute for intensive inpatient rehab, where I spent the next 3 weeks learning how to walk again and how to manage daily life using only my right arm and hand. As of September 10th, after 3 weeks I was discharged from Courage Kenny and I am now continuing in-home rehab, but I still cannot use my left arm, and my recovery journey is far from over.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Before the stroke, I worked as a patient escort at North Memorial Hospital, However, due to the physical demands of the role and my current condition, I don’t know when—or if—I’ll be able to return.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I'm currently unable to work and have no steady income, all while facing growing medical bills, rehab costs, and the need to care for my children during this critical time.
</div>
