Help April recover from medical emergency

Hi everyone, I am fundraising for myself. This is absolutely the hardest thing I’ve ever had to humble myself & do. Which is ask for help. Asking for help, & admitting I do need help, is extremely embarrassing & extremely humbling. Unfortunately for me it is necessary. Because I do not wish to be homeless.

On November 28, while walking my dog, I stepped on a stone & rolled my ankle causing me to take a bad fall. Thank God my dog, Ginger, was with me. She gave me as much comfort as she could. I broke my ankle severely in 3 places. I just had surgery yesterday for them to put my ankle back together. I am unable to work & I cannot put any weight on my foot for 8 weeks. Due to the metal plates and screws they’ve had to put in my ankle. This has put me in a very SCARY, difficult, & horrible position. I have now been left in a position that I cannot pay my rent or other bills. My primary concern is just to get my rent paid so I’m not evicted, until I can go back to work again. My family is helping me as much as they can, but it’s nowhere near enough. I’m supposed to be moved Thursday or Friday to a rehabilitation center for a couple weeks. So they can help me prepare to go home & be strong enough to take care of myself on my own.

As soon as I do get home, I will look for online work or work from home that I can do sitting. Since I can’t be on my feet at all. I would deeply appreciate any & all help anyone could give me &  doesn’t mind giving me. Even if it’s just a dollar donation. I’m asking for a dollar donation. Any more would be awesome!  I would be absolutely grateful! The money will go straight for my rent. If there is any other money left over, it would go to paying my gas & electric bill. My rent is my priority. All other bills will have to be put on hold until I can get back to work. Having cable TV & a cell phone are a luxury at this point in my life. If I receive any donations, I will only put the money towards things that I need, not things that I want.

  In return you will get my eternal gratitude and I can make you (or a loved one,…)a custom bracelet, necklace, or anklet with beautiful beads as a token of my appreciation. 
I will be making bracelets & necklaces  to try to make money while I am laid up. Any little bit helps. So if you would like to pass on my information to someone who might want a bracelet or a necklace etc. I can take Venmo & PayPal. My daughter will mail the bracelets to you within 3 days from receiving your donation. Each bracelet is a beautiful piece of art. No two bracelets are exactly the same. Please buy a piece of art and help me get through this excruciating tough time in my life. Thank you, God bless you, and I’m very very very grateful for any help I receive.
