Help Erica's Family Through Brain Surgery

Hi guys, I'm Erica and I'm making this as a huge hit to my self-esteem, but everyone deserves help every once in a while.

In August, I was diagnosed with a rare brain condition called Chiari Malformation Type 1, which completely shattered my life and turned it upside down. I went from working 3 jobs and having my own place to having to move because I just could not afford to pay my bills anymore. I do get short-term through my employer, but after my car payment, I'm left with barely anything (thankfully the car is almost paid off), the last little bit of normal I have left.

I have brain surgery on December 23rd, which leaves my kids without a mom for Christmas, which I can't afford anyways. Since my job is closing down for a month following December 5th, that leaves me with absolutely no income with 3 kids. I don't know what to do or how to even begin to make things work out because this is not my life or how my storyline was supposed to be . I've worked hard my whole life, and to ask for help is killing me. I really just want to pay my car off ($2000) and buy my kids some Christmas presents .

Thanks, Erica.
