moving expenses due to medical conditions & bills
Donation protected
Hi. I can't believe I am doing this. But after 20 years of suffering various illnesses and surgeries, I have now been diagnosed with failure to thrive and POTS. My weight has reached an all time low and my new job that I had, I lost due to my medical condition. Now I have no income and at the advice of my doctor and my cardiologist, I am unable to work until I get better, which they are both are saying after I gain weight and am not malnourished anymore. Which I do not know when that will be. I am struggling to put on weight. I cannot be upright very long without getting lightheaded. My heart rate is out of control. Out of no where, my BP will spike to 137/99 and my resting pulse is between 90-120. I can't even barely take care of myself without getting lightheaded.
But without my income, we cannot afford to live in our apartment and need to move. However, we do not have the immediate funds to move, nor can qualify for a loan. We cut all of our expenses down to a minimum and we are still not going to make it.
I don't know when I will be able to return to work, I am very stressed out which my doctors say will not make me any better any sooner, if anything will make me sicker. I am scared of losing the roof over our heads so that is why we need to move to a cheaper apartment. But we need the funds to be able to afford to terminate our lease early and to move into the new apartment.
Plus now I am getting medical bills from the hospital from my last surgery that I needed and don't know how I'm going to pay them. We do not qualify for help from the state.
I am one who never asks for help, I am one who always helps everyone else, so this is very hard for me. If you can donate anything, anything at all, it would be greatly appreciated. Please note that this is extremely hard for me to write this. If you can't donate, please share. With this stress, I will never get better and won't be able to return to work.
Thank you so much for your time to read this. Please feel free to ask me any questions about my health. I will gladly explain more.
