September has been a rough month for us. April and I were just getting our feet under us after 18 months of loss and displacement. Just as we were finally able to exhale, I fell and badly hurt my foot.
Unable to walk, I called an ambulance to get to the ER. Fortunately is wasn't broken but badly sprained. It kept me out of work for 3 days.
April has been struggling with her health for a few months. On the 16th she was in so much pain she was vomiting blood. I called an ambulance. She spent 5 days in the hospital.
Of course I could not go to work and leave our little pup Athena home alone. I put in For family Leave. (It will take a few weeks to process. ) I contacted my insurance company and discovered we have a $3000 deductible.
April is home now and slowly recovering. It will be a long road and many more doctor appointments and medication. We are grateful she will recover and the prognosis is good.
Unfortunately we are now stuck in limbo of no money and bills piling up.
Several friends have helped with groceries. We drained our small savings to cover the rest on September bills. Now we are faced with medical bills, rent and utilities. We are asking for help. Please, any amount will help us reach our goal.
Thank you,
Jennie, April & Athena
