Help a Loving Parent Recover and Provide

I will be out of work for 6 weeks at least, maybe longer. I have to go by what the doctors say. I have bills building up and two children that are my world. Now I do not have an income for my household. My son is 9 years old and I have a little girl who will be 2 in November. I have no credit or family that could help me out if they wanted to; we're lower income. My job doesn't offer paid time off. I don't have any help or assistance to fall back on or savings. I'm making this GoFundMe to pay the bills and take care of my kids. My biggest fear right now is becoming homeless due to no income, help, or assistance. I would not be asking for help if I didn't need help. I'm the type of person to give anyone the shirt off my back. I feel guilty for asking for help. But I am at the point where I do not know how I'm going to provide for my two children and keep the roof over our heads. I had a job at Biggby Coffee in Monroe. Some of you have seen me there. I love my job but on Wednesday, the 2nd of October, I could not get out of bed. I was in severe pain. I'm currently using a walker to walk with. I'm only 29 years old. The reason behind all of this is I had back surgery done. In my MRI, it showed I had two protrusions in my L4 and L5 discs, and my sciatic nerve was pinched between my L4. I now have nerve damage. The neurosurgeon told my mother he had never seen a case like mine and wanted to know how I did that to myself. The doc wanted to know how I was dealing with it, telling my mother if that was him, he would be on the floor screaming for help. I'm grateful for my doctor and nurses that helped me out on Oct 4 at Toledo Hospital, true angels. Before I had my surgery, I went to Monroe Hospital 2 times for them to tell me there was nothing wrong with me. I went via ambulance the 2nd time because I was in crippling pain. I finally got help on Oct 3 when I went to Toledo Hospital. I was in so much pain I wasn't eating or drinking and I was peeing myself. Once that happened, I was at the Toledo emergency room and they took me seriously. They did an MRI. They don't normally do MRI in ER but for my condition, they didn't have time to wait. After the MRI, they came into my room with answers, telling me I wasn't crazy at all and were in shock I was just here still. This could have been bad. I'm just grateful to be alive and make it through it. It's going to be a long road for recovery. I just hope anyone can help out my children and I will be grateful forever.
with love Violet Simpson.
