Help Support Lacey's Future

Donation protected

Yesterday tragedy struck our family. Lacey (7 years old) lost her mom. Lacey's only living relatives that are able to care for her, are her grandparents (Larry & Rona Greenstein). Due to financial hardship, we are setting up this Go Fund Me to help raise money for continued care and support of her future. We appreciate anything you can give.

Oh how I fight each day each night

The pulls so strong some days it feels like I'm holding on for dear life. My hands are tired I'm scared I might fall but I've let go before its dark and nasty no-one wants to pick up my call. Other then those who are stuck in the dark too they suck me dry and sadly I believe these friendships to be true. Stuck in this cycle time after time each relapse I get weaker although I tell everyone I'm just fine. If only they knew how twisted I can be I'd be more alone then I seem to already be. A victim is not what I want you to see . I cause this pain repeatedly. They say it's a choice but for me not so much I know that it's over as soon as I feel that rush . I never wanted to cause pain to those who cared I just wanted to stop my hurt at times it feels too much to bear. Again at a crossroad which way will I go one wrong turn and I'll loose my daughter this I know. The one thing I live for and love to the core my brain can't comprehend how I risk her each time I slip into the darkness galore. Fight , they say she needs you to be strong oh how I would love to sore and prove many wrong. I've been here before and deeply believed I was ok until that darkness convinced me to let go defeated, half dead in a hospital I lay. There has to be more to this life then I see because I wake each day wanting to be anyone but me. Shame, guilt and loss I feel this all the time although I've mastered appearing I'm just fine. Just for today I'll continue to hold tight hoping days turn into years and I conquer this fight.
