Helping me and my Multiple Sclerosis.

This is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do!!! I’ve been independent all my life and have always put the needs of others before mine. Especially my mom, family, friends and people I’ve worked with. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve lived a good life eating what and where I wanted, traveling the US and Europe and been able to buy the things I’ve needed but now that’s all come to an end for me. For the last year or so I’ve been totally bed ridden. I could do the basics like going to the bathroom, brushing my teeth, sit on my bed and wash my face, arms and such and eating but that is about it. I couldn't stand long enough to shower or cook my meals but could order food delivery and eat it from the side of my bed.

A couple of months ago I was rushed to the hospital where I stayed for about 2 weeks before they said I had a version of Multiple Sclerosis that there was no cure for or medical way to assist me. It’s called primary progressive and they have no ideas how to help people with it and the heat outside makes way worse. That’s why I went to the hospital cause it was over 100 out one day and I couldn’t even get in and out of my bed.

So when they booted me from the hospital they took me to a care facility where they feed me, shower me and help me with my basic day to day needs. They are very nice to me and take good care of me but the problem is it’s costing me $5200 a month!!! Unfortunately I have no savings, stocks or anything I can sell to get money. So I’m using up my available credit cards but will run out of that too in a couple months.

Plus the work that I am doing is for family and the business is selling probably in the next 30-60 days which means I will also have no income and won’t be able to afford to live here much longer. Ya the business will sell but we haven’t been doing well for years so it isn’t worth much so after taxes and our past due bills there will be nothing left. I can’t just get an online job that pays that much as my skill set is limited to what I do now as I have been doing it so long and have no college degree or anything.

So I looks like I will be living on the street soon with no ability to get the medical help I so desperately need or even the ability to fend for myself cause I just have no other means right now. So I’m desperately hoping for the kindness of others to get me by for a year or two until things hopefully change. Please if you can help in anyway please do anything you can or unfortunately my days are numbered.

I can’t tell you how bad I feel asking for help from others especially with all the bad things people are going thru right now in this crazy world. But I am simply out of options right now. The cost of getting the help I need is so high even the amount I’m asking for will only last about a year. If you can help in any way even the smallest amount helps tremendously!!!
