Help us to live healthier , happier and safer lives.

i try to remain hopeful but when life kicks you down repeatedly, it's difficult.

not knowing how safe you are , not knowing how you are going to pay bills, not knowing what turn your health may take day to day,it is depressing

Hi,

I am a 34 year old mother of two boys.

September 2024 on the night of Hurricane Helene I was in a car accident that caused a traumatic brain injury. If that wasn't a big enough life change, I had my first heart attack in August at just 34 from the amount of stress I've had to deal with.

I am unable to work due to the effects on my daily life this has caused.

Along with all of the sickness and loss we have dealt with, we have had to deal with some unfortunate situations.

I also have a tumor on my kidney that has grown and grown and they want to go inside my leg to stop blood flow to the kidney or remove my kidney completely. This would be done out of my area costing fuel, food and lodging for my family/children. They have said it needs to be done before it hemorrhages since it is growing so rapidly but I cannot afford it. And that's very scary knowing how dangerous this could be.

I have lost my mom and my dad within just a short amount of months as well as 2 uncles and a aunt. This has taken a huge toll on me and my children.

My mother's death was due to genetic heart issues *massive heart attack*, her dad and brothers all passed from heart attacks and her mother died young of breast cancer.. My dads side of the family has a massive amount of cancer diagnosis.. my daddy just passed from brain cancer and that was the hardest thing to watch. My aunt passed a week ago after only knowing she had cancer for 3 weeks.

Losing a parent suddenly hurts but also watching a parent suffer hurts just as much if not more.

*****I am needing help affording testing to test for cancer genes because insurance will not cover it due to the fact that my mother would not be tested and wasn't confirmed to have the cancer gene. As well as out of pocket for a mammogram because I am young insurance won't cover. I am also waiting to get further heart testing ex. Calcium scoring which is an out of pocket cost also.

I am currently unemployed as I haven't been able to return due to my disabilities.

All of my bills are piling up and I just feel like I can't keep my head above water. I am reaching out not only for assistance with medical, finances, bills, and necessities for my home and children. .

but also to give my children a happier better life. I have many many doctors appointments, medication, gas to get to these appointments and I'm just struggling.

All of this has put so much stress on me and I'm posting here in hopes of getting a little bit above water.

We need necessities and with me being out of work it's impossible.

And this surgery is needed before it becomes a matter of my life or my death.

We have lost so many members of our family recently and my children need me healthy and alive just as I do them.

It has been recommended that I apply for disability but that is a very lengthy process that still leaves me with no current income.

Any help is much needed and much appreciated.

Me and my boys when they were little.

Me and my 16 year old that is a volunteer firefighter, since he was 14.

My youngest baby boy

These wonderful children deserve the world and I wish I could give it to them, I wish I could give everything they want, I wish I could fix everything and take the hurt away from all of the losses we've endured.

All donations are appreciated and prayers are always appreciated so very much ❤️
