I have been living with stage 4 decompensated liver cirrhosis for ten years, and the past year has been especially difficult. After losing my children's father in 2023 and my mom just six months later, I found myself in a place I never imagined. My health has forced me in and out of hospitals, with lengthy stays and constant uncertainty. I deal with encephalopathy, portal hypertension, neuropathy that causes random falls, chronic back pain, and pain in my liver area. Sometimes I bleed internally and look as if I'm having triplets. I signed a lease in February 2026, hoping for stability, but my roommates left without notice, leaving me responsible for the rent and deposit. Now, I can't afford the entire rent and am behind for the month, not including bills. My kids have gone through so much—several moves, loss, changing schools, and watching me try my best while always falling short. I can't work, am on several medications, and have no bladder control. I've been advocating for myself for the past three years, but disability has denied me twice, and I'm now appealing for the third time with an attorney. I want peace, joy, and love, and I am full of gratitude. I also give back by meeting people and helping others with the disease of alcoholism. You are never alone. In 2016, I was given two hours to live, but I'm still here, fighting every day. Funds raised will help cover rent, gas to the transplant center, basic needs, household bills, and anything that helps us stay afloat. I'm waiting on disability, appealing for the third time, and can't work due to my liver disease, medications, and frequent doctor visits. The support will help keep a roof over our heads and provide stability for my kids. This is very hard for me to ask for help. I always say I'm fine, but in reality, I'm not. I fall behind every month with basic needs, rent, gas, electric, kids, and living expenses. If I don't have rent by the 15th, I'll receive a notice and risk losing our home. I'm forever grateful for any support. I help others by raising awareness about alcoholism and sharing my testimony. It's hard to ask for assistance when everyone is hurting, but I want my life back and to work again. Thank you for reading and considering helping us.
