Emergency help for the Lomax family

Donation protected

This is kind of a long message but it is a very URGENT and an ER matter so please please read it!! Honestly, I am not sure where start. It is embarrassing that we are yet again having to ask frinds for help but this is an urgent, literally life or death situation.!!! We have tried EVERYTHING before resulting to this but sometimes, we ALL need help and this is one of those times where we need help and having pride is NOT going to solve anything. Due to my recent health scare, which is still unresolved, my life is in true jeopardy, as well with Irelyn yet again undergoing more surgeries TO HELP SAVE THE KIDNEY. Adrien had to miss many days of work, my life sustaining meds are NOT covered by insurance (though we are trying to get rx assistance), but, while waiting, I am walking with 2 clots in my leg and a partial in my lungs. This is equivalent to a walking time bomb. Though I was properly treated even the basics for my medical experience they were not following such as when you have a blood clot and it's life-threatening you put someone on a Heparin drip for example, which was not done along with many many many other things), even if they had been,I was sent home with meds I can not afford to keep me alive! The blood thinning medicine $700, the shots for my stomach or $613, the nerve medicine for my leg is $400 the GI bleeding which can be caused from the blood thinners is $350 and so on. At the same time, Irelyn has had set back from her recent surgery as well as her cancer numbers have risen but we still can not do chemo. She was admitted back in November be cause we almost LOST the kidney. So, it's been non stop appointments, tests, blood work etc, anything to keep this kidney so we can save her life! The reason I have had to swallow my pride and ask for help is because both of our recent health issues, it has put us in DETRIMENTAL financial struggles in our house. Though, I do receive money through disability, Adrien is our main income. But, he has had to miss so many days that it almost cost him his job.; due to the amount of days he missed, we have not been able to pay a majority of our bills. Most utilities have been cut off and after leaving the hospital, with things 120% worse (explain later), we came home to warning of eviction papers on our door. Adrien tried to explain to the landlord what has been happening this monthand the past couple months, between my health and our daughter's and our landlord could care less.! All she cares about is our money. "Give me my money, it is my house or get the f*** out" we're her wordsshe then told us YESTERDAY we have until noon tomorrow to come up with our rent or we have to get out within the next three days. Even if we are able to come up with the money, once the papers are started we still have to leave. This weekend, Adrian has ran around putting almost everything we have including my WEDDING RING, my wedding dress, computer, TV,...you name it as well , trying to get loans but I've been on local "momswap pages" to try to sell what we can around her, but it still just not enough. This is where I'm reaching out to all my friends and swallowing my pride and truly basically begging and asking for ANY kind of help or DONATION!!. Not only to help pay for our rent but then to cover my life sustaining Meds such as the shots in my stomach, blood thinners, seizure medicines, or my heart medicines Etc because each are $400 and above. Right now though, our biggest concern is our RENT- and we just do not have it!! I'm really hoping anybody can donate any little bit they can and we can try to come up with something by noon tomorrow. IFOR YOU WISH TO NOT DO IT HERE SINCE 'GOFUNDME TAKES A GOOD PERCENTAGE, I HAVE WELLS FARGO AND YOU CAN DIRECTLY DEPOSIT IT INTO MY ACCOUNT, THEREFOREIGN GOFUNDME DOESN'T TAKE THE PERCENTAGE.... I just recently learned that but you can make a direct deposit into my account and if your Wells Fargo member----'>>> you can even do it on your phone if that make anything easier? I am more than willing to share our realtor's information and their office number for verification if you would like tone call. I have nothing to gain from lying and it absolutely HONESTLY breaks me down to have to ask for help but this is what we have to do. Otherwise, the baby and I will have to go to a shelter and Adrien will have to go to a friend's but then we wouldn't know what to do after that. I was supposed to be transferred to a different hospital today because of their lack of incompetency and treatment because they not only let me go without the proper medicines then prescribe medicines I can't
afford; and verbatim these were the doctor's last words to me "whether my heart gives out due to CHF, my HTN adding to the mix, my INR drops to a all time low, or this clot is going to move and hit my lungs causing a pulmonary embolism that will kill me or it will bypass and go straight to my heart and give me a stroke. Each is Just a matter of
time." So right now, I'm emotionally trying to figure out how to handle all of this worrying about my health, worrying about my daughter worrying what happens if something happens to me then what will happen to my daughter and all the other things that come with us or just his words are haunting me every night when I try to lay down and I worry if I'm going to wake up!?!?! Then to get hit with our financial situation, with warnings of eviction papers on our door, as well as making sure my daughter is okay ( which is My BIGGEST concern.) I feel like I'm failing as a mother and I'm trying to do everything I can to provide the best for her, STAY AS STRONG AS POSSIBLE, even though she doesn't understand 99.9% of everything that's going on. And trying to make sure the stress doesn't overwhelm me and cause problems to my heart or make this clot move but if something happens to me all I worry and fear is for my daughter .I could keep going on but I just didn't realize this would be the last thing we had to do.... asking AGAIN for help; unfortunately we have tried absolutely everything we could before resorting to this. I'm fighting, embarrassingly but I am truly asking for any kind of help, big or small ,that those can pass on to us to make sure that we keep a roof over our head and our family is not separated!!! Again,I can let you know the realtor's number and location if you would like to directly to an donate to them, if they will take it or to call to verify what I'm saying is true. I also, I'm asking for a little bit more so I could buy my medicine that will help keep me alive so I can be here for my daughter. She is my strength, my rock, my life EVERYTHING-- she is the only thing keeping me going. So, closure, i am asking for family, for our Health,our LIVES, our meds, our safety and TO KEEP A ROOF OVER OUR HEADS, for diapers, wipes, baby food and a lot of the items that come with having a special needs child that you can't exactly buy off the shelf but I am truly and genuinely asking for any donations big or small but as soon as possible by noon tomorrow for any kind of help from anybody please!!!! I really really appreciate everyone it from the bottom of my heart I not only apologize for yet again asking but from the bottom of my heart I also think you for any kind of help you can give us as well as asking for prayers for our family and for our health. Please please share this to anyone that may be able to help both far and wide or strangers, loved ones anybody please this is a very very serious situation that both involved giving me and my daughter love but keeping a roof over our heads so we don't end up in a shelter. This is very embarrassing but sometimes it's okay to ask for help. And I've come to learn that just recently with my health scare. Sometimes, we can't do it alone and we do need help. Everybody does at some point. Again, bigger small anything will help we have to come up with at least $1,000 by noon tomorrow. See if we can at least reach that then that will keep a roof over our head!!! Please keep our family in your prayers and I THANK YOU---everyone for taking the time to read this, showing love and support and those that have recently helped us (ESP. MS. NIKKI!!!), thank you for your selfless Acts and I pray that your good will towards our family that God is watching I will return it back to you I'm sorry for the short notice and we have until noon tomorrow so please please pass this on and shirt or whoever and if you can donate please please help us and again as I said your tears down my face I can't think each and everyone of you enough. There really are no words but just remember you're not only keeping a roof over her head, you're keeping me alive so I can take care of my daughter and I'm keeping my daughter alive and that's the most important thing to me and as most of you are parents, there's not a thing we wouldn't do for our kids. Thank you for the bottom of my heart and please again keep us in your prayers come on share this with us and please try to help us. If you would like the information to the realtor's office send me a message and I will give it to you! Nice thing, my phone is currently off because I could not pay the bill but as long as my messenger is working but I do have to be in your WiFi then you can inbox me on there or I can receive calls as well. So if you were texting me I apologize in advance and to please them that I'm not ignoring you but hopefully my phone will be turned back on on February 3rd. If you need any additional information, Adrien's phone is on and you can contact him or feel free to inbox me. God bless you all and keep us in your prayers regardless please!!Love and hugs to you all!!
PLEASE PLEASE SHARE!!! THANK YOU EVERYONE---' seriously!
