We are the Smith family and have fallen on hard times

Hello, I am Rhiannon Flair Smith. Its me my husband Keith , and Katie Mae and our little dog Minnie. I don't know what to say really; other than that we are having a few financial problems. Keith and I try to do our best. Katie is still grieving over losing her mother at age 4, and then mom passing away Jan 14 2024. I am not a bum; It is hard for me have to even ask. Things are just hitting us so hard. I have ehlers danlos, had 13 hernia surgeries, I have an inoperable hernia now, and a fistula. My body is breaking down. Katie worries about me and her dad so much. She is scared something will happen to me or her dad. Anytime she sees me cry she gets scared that I'm dying or needing an ambulance. She has so many things she is dealing with emotionally. She is slightly autistic and handles emotions and things differently.

Melanie, Her mother, my sister, passed away on November 19, 2019. Katie was just 4 yrs old. My mom lived with us and Katie loved her. Katie saw her grandmomma everyday and she saw her that morning I found mom not responding. She saw the whole traumatic situation. When mom passed we also lost her income that she contributed to bills and things.

Things have truly gotten hard. Food, clothes, and basic bills are incredibly taxing on us. Katie starts the 5th grade in Aug and so we gotta get her school clothes and supplies. We are still trying to catch up on bills and taxes.

I want to make my late Sissy proud and do my best for her lil one. We really don't like having to ask people for help, but we have to survive and I'm at my wits' end. We pray daily for a break. Hopefully, this will be that blessing.

We have faith and know God has us. Its by His grace we are all blessed.
