Help Melissa Beaman Stay by Her Daughter's Side
Donation protected
My name is Melissa Beaman. I have a 28-year-old daughter who is pregnant and struggling with severe health problems. She was taken to the hospital 2 weeks ago, where she was not expected to make it through the first 24 hours, according to her doctor. She has fluid around her heart and lungs and is not able to breathe on her own. Due to her pregnancy, she was airlifted to a hospital in Lexington, which is 2 hours away from where we live. They are monitoring her condition very closely, which is slowly improving, but the surgery they are wanting to wait until the baby is due. It's a touch-and-go situation every day, the hardest thing to watch your child go through. She has overcome so much in her life. Four years ago, she was burnt really badly, another time they didn't foresee her surviving. She remained in the hospital for 3 months; after discharge, we still had a 6-month road of recovery ahead of us. At the current time, I do not have a vehicle, which makes it hard on my family and myself. The hospital she is at doesn't have a hospitality house, so I have been staying in the room with her. I am hoping to get help with a hotel and just everyday expenses since I'm not able to work on a regular basis due to being with her. I stay only a couple of days at a time so I can come home to work, which is very hard on my family, who have to take me and pick me up. The doctors have said she will be here at least 6 weeks and a great chance it will be longer to ensure the baby is out of harm's way. Leaving my daughter to come home is the hardest thing I have to do. She is so scared, not to mention how scared I am when I have to leave her there. No matter how old your child is, they are still your baby, and when they hurt, you want to do whatever it takes to ease that pain. I am hoping to reach my goal so I can be there with her until she is able to come home to comfort her and let her know this too shall pass. God has pulled her through the roughest of times, never leaving her, and I feel that He has a HUGE purpose for her. He is going to use her for something great. So if you could please help my daughter and me, we would greatly appreciate it.
