Help support Disabled Mother & Son with Hardships

Donation protected

Thank you so much for reading.
I'm reaching out for help due to severe hardships I am facing as a single, disabled mother.

As I write this, I am sobbing, with feelings of failure and humility, but my SON, who is the most amazing human being ever, is my reason for EVERYTHING in this world. I have also exhausted literally every single resource in this area, as nowhere has any funds left for anyone here. I worry from the monent i wake up until the moment I close my eyes at night. Ironically my doctor said I am supposed to stay calm due to my heart issues and blood pressure.

Small backstory: We have had MANY tragic losses since 2020 due to covid related illnesses including losing 2 jobs during that time period, losing my dear mother, who was loved by all, during that time, (Marie) after being her caretaker for over 20 years, (and who was also my son's second parent,) and so much more that is too painful to get into at this moment. I would be happy to privately share these details with someone if asked.

I’ve been dealing with very significant health issues, including SEVERE hypertension, Stress induced, and per the doctor, Near Stroke level (strokes run in my family, my mother had many) a new Autoimmune disease diagnosis (still waiting for more answers and trying to get more testing done,) mobility problems that make it painful to stand or walk, and recurring SVT heart issues from 4 previous heart Ablation surgeries I had after my son was born. These health issues have really worsened recently and require urgent medical care and costly Prescription medications.

My son and I are also facing the risk of homelessness in a small town where we lack support. We urgently need funds for housing, medical expenses, food and basic necessities, school clothes, and to either fix our car or purchase a reliable used vehicle. Without a functioning vehicle, I can't manage daily tasks or access essential services.

Your support will help us cover immediate needs like food, shelter, prescriptions, and transportation. Our long-term goal is to return to New Jersey, our home, as soon as humanly possible, where we can access family and friend support, better healthcare, more job opportunities for my son, and so much more accessible resources.

Any donation, no matter how small, will be greatly appreciated.

Please share this if you find it in your heart to do so. Help of any amount is deeply appreciated. Prayers are also beyond appreciated. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness and support during this challenging time.
