Help The Shingletons Get Back On Their Feet
Donation protected
My name is Stephanie. I have a wonderful husband named Seth who works very hard for our family. We have 2 children, Olivia (3) and Alex (10 months). Up until about 4 months ago, we were a 2 income household.
In one aspect of my life, I was diagnosed with 2 bulging discs in my back. The dr wants to do steroid injections, but I am listed as allergic to steroids. So I am in a long line of wait listed

People to be seen at the allergy clinic. And no allegy testing, no shot= no pain relief. And anyone who works 12 hrs on their feet lifting patients all day knows you gotta have a good back to do so (I am an LPN). This has made working excruciating.
Most importantly, I have been battling mental illness, and was placed on several meds and misdiagnosed. As a result, these meds had adverse reactions on me and caused my depression, post partum depression, and what I know is PTSD to significantly worsen. At one point, my doctor had me on a few medications that were actually contraindicated to be together, and were shown in increase depression symptoms.
In January of 2021, I hit an all time low. I was reaching out to my doctors and was only getting more meds tossed at me, even when telling them I had thoughts of harming myself. Unfortunately and regrettably, one night I did go through with my plans to harm myself, and ended up in inpatient psych.
Because of my mental health issues and stay in inpatient psych, I have only been able to work PRN (I pick up shifts when I feel stable enough to). My family is feeling the effects of me not working full time, and we just need some help to make it until we get back on our feet. I am seeing a new psychiatrist and will be seeing a therapist soon (waiting for callback for appointment date). I only ask that if you find it in your heart to help keep our bills paid, a roof over our familes head, and food in my babies bellies, that you give whatever you are able. Thank you all in advance. We love you and appreciate you all.
