Keep me and my mom in my home
Donation protected
Hi my name is Jessica Rogers and I never thought it would come to this but here I am, facing being homeless. My mom worked full time for Mercer county for 14 years. As you know, I am a c-4 quadriplegic and now and bed bound. Up until 2 years ago medically I was doing pretty well other than the normal issues that come along with being paralyzed. 2013 my mom had surgery to help her lose weight because it was getting harder to take care of me since she was so overweight. Unfortunately the surgery went horribly wrong and she spent a lot of time in the hospital having multiple surgeries. (Plus being in the hospital for malnutrition because she barely has a stomach so she can't absorb all nutrients the way that you and everyone else does) and having to take months and just days at a time off from work we all know how hard it is getting disability payments which you eventually did. Fast forward 2 years ago my medical status has gotten worse to the point that I am now bedridden and can no longer be alone. (Having to be turned from side to side every one 1-2 hours). October 2021 my mom was terminated from her employment because of excessive absenteeism. Because of me being in the hospital and nursing homes for IV medications that couldn't be done at home. Was denied FMLA. Unemployment was finally received after 1 plus years but by that time bills were seriously overdue including rent. We just received eviction notice and if we cannot come up with arrears we will be blocked out. This is a complete nightmare. Have contacted many organizations but time is of the essence and rental company says if we can't pay, we will be locked out at the beginning of August my mom has a case management conference next Friday with the courts. If we can have funds or most of them by then they could possibly dismiss the eviction process. I pray every night that things will work out and he will provide us with a miracle. I'm asking if anyone can donate and/share this would be greatly appreciated. We were told unless I was terminal and nearing the end, being disabled makes no difference to the courts. Thank you in advance for all your thoughts and prayers and any donations so I can stay in my apartment.
Forever grateful
Jessica and Terri Rogers
I just want to add to this. Unfortunately in the past my mother had received threatening and very derogatory messages and emails stating that she is a bad mother. I just want everyone to know that my mother has been there for me from day one and has sacrificed a lot so that I was able to stay home and not in a nursing home. So please if anyone feels the need to bad things about my mother, please don't!
