Hi, I’m Melina. I’m 19 years old, and as of right now, I’m living in a hotel room with my family and dog. We have been evicted from our home 20 days ago. I have been diagnosed with type two diabetes. I was hospitalized for 6 days, and they found a tumor. I’m getting tested for cancer and waiting to see when I need surgery to remove it.

Just a few days ago, we were close to getting an apartment , but my grandmother and I were in Kohl’s looking for shoes for her, and she got robbed by 2 individuals. They took her purse that had everything we had: credit cards, food stamp cards, birth certificates, IDs, medication—everything I ever owned. The police are trying to look for the people, and now we have enough just to pay for our hotel room and that’s it. If God puts it on your heart to donate anything, I pray that the Lord will bless you and continue to use you and bless you. God bless
