Help Wendy pay bills after a RARE STROKE
Donation protected
Please help me with living costs, bills and gas for therapy.
I had a Hemorrhagic Stroke in December, and I can't work or drive.
At First, I got extremely hot and began vomiting at work. I thought I could still drive myself home, and that I must have a stomach bug.
Within a half hour, I could no longer walk straight, or by myself.
Continuing to vomit, a co-worker drove me to an urgent care facility. Well, they didn't do much. Gave me a shot for vomiting and that's about it. I couldn't even lift my head to make eye contact with the urgent care doctor. I was sweating profusely. However, they let me leave and just told me it must be gastronomical.
(It affected most parts of my brain, like leaky hoses bleeding all over inside my head, according to the notes from the MRI tech.
I still haven't seen a neurologist who can explain and read the actual MRI. That's scheduled for July 22nd.) My blood pressure was 220/143!

Continuing to vomit, I went home and went to bed.
The vomiting lasted 5 days, and
I was bed ridden for the first month.
I didn't know what was going on until February!
It is so very much appreciated!

After treating me for Vertigo, and that didn't help at all, Dr. Kerri at Heritage Health ordered a MRI.
She then found out I had a rare hemorrhagic stroke.
Then, I started therapy.
Physical Therapy was first, and it has helped so much! But, I still walk like my 1yr old granddaughter!
I'm also doing Speech Therapy, and Occupational Therapy.
They are difficult but helping my brain do the basics again.
It's been very hard.
I just found out that any unemployment help is exhausted, and there is no other available extensions right now.
So now I'm stressing about being able to pay my bills, or buy food and necessities.

I have filled out a disability app, but
They take a while.
PLEASE, out of the kindness of your heart, HELP in any way you can.
