Help School Bus Monitor Heal and Return to Kids

As a School Bus Monitor, I secure Special Needs Kids to make sure they get safely to school by anchoring their wheelchairs, securing their safety vests, integrated seats and safety belts. I love my kids!

But emergency surgery for acute diverticulitis interrupted all of that. They saved my life! (For which I am most thankful — I almost died).

Sadly, I can’t return to my kids and bus until I get a medical release after my bowel dissection is reversed and fully healed.

A surgeon won’t do the reversal for at least eight months from now to ensure there’s no infection and scar tissue isn’t inflamed.

This happened while visiting my love and 

not while I was on the job. So the county school system can’t cover me, and I’m without medical insurance until October when my opt-in signup becomes available. 

At $15.34 an hour and only a thirty-hour work week, I couldn’t afford the monthly premium as much as I wanted to.

It was the difference between paying for Medical Insurance or eating.

Meanwhile, I am actively looking for work every day — any job I can find to supplement me until I can return to my bus and kids. I’d rather work than ask for money!

As of now, I have ZERO income coming in. I was denied Medicaid by the state of GA and have a hospital bill of $99,893.13.

More Pressing: As of today, besides your generous donations, I have no source of income BUT DO HAVE ongoing COSTLY medical-supply and basic living expenses. People have been SO generous, but still, I hear the clock ticking…

I’m asking for whatever help you can provide. Any donations, no matter how small, really add up!

Because of your generous donations, I’ve been able to pay my $215 rent early every week and avoid any more of those $25 late fees. ONLY because of YOU — THANK YOU!!! 

Rent, groceries and expensive, ongoing medical supplies are my pressing needs.

I’d like to start paying down medical debt and raising funds for my reversal surgery. But for now, I’m looking for the basics to survive. I’m hoping you’ll understand. 

I’ve donated to GoFundMe causes myself and am thankful for this platform this time around in my hour of need.

Please do whatever you can and I will be forever grateful beyond belief! 

I want to heal. I want to get back to my bus. I want to take care of my kids! Their Special Needs give me more in return than I could EVER give to them!

Thank You. Thank You! Thank You!!!
