My name is Mia. I'm 34 years old. I have three children and an emotional support yorkie. five months ago to the date, I was in a horrific traumatic accident. I was caught on fire and burned alive with boiling grease manage! however in the midst i was able to save all of the four children that were in the house at the time, but it did cost me permanent damage. My left arm was almost completely lost due to 360° burns from above the elbow to around my entire wrist, both arms were severely burned, and skin graft. Both of my thighs had to receive skin grafts and one of my thighs, took the ultimate butchering as the donor site and three different graft sight areas along with one of my feet. I didn't think I would survive and honestly for a few minutes I didn't want to because the pain was that unbearable. Ive lost most feeling in my left arm. I'm unable to extend it fully or use it for more than just very light simple things. I never thought I would walk again either. unfortunately I had to make the choice at 34 to apply for disability due to not only my physical injuries, but my severe PTSD and mental trauma. With a 2 to 3 year recovery time for my physical wounds! I lost both of my parents to tragedy when they were both young as well so I am very much still grieving my mother's loss as well as my children grieving and being traumatized from having watched that accident happen. Unfortunately, I had to make the choice to not only leave the relationship I was in but walk away from any financial assistance due to having been a stay at home mom and then forced to stay that due to my injuries. Yes, I applied for disability. These things take a long time for processing. I am not able to do anything but wait, and this could cost me to lose the home that me and my children live in while I'm not looking for a pity party or a handout it is the first time in my life that I do need honest help and I don't know where else to turn. I am unable to use any programs or vouchers. I cannot lose my home. I will have nowhere to go with my children, and it will cost me losing all of my deceased mother's belongings, which I would have nowhere to take or store. With the holidays right here, I'm hoping that some people have some kindness in their heart and could help me get through the next month or two at least. I did not have gas money to get to my children's sports or appointments. The only vehicle I have which was inherited from my mother dying is well overdue for an oil change, and I am terrified to blow my engine and not be able to have a vehicle and lose the last thing that I have from her. I'm hoping since this is a time for giving and being grateful and thankful that you guys could help me out I don't even personally own a coat for myself and my children need boots for the winter. And while this takes every single little bit of my pride to ask for help, I'm putting that aside because my children do not deserve to suffer for anything that I have going on in my life as an adult.
