Happy Holidays Everyone-
Firstly, thank you so much for taking the time to read this post as I'm sure I'm not the only one!
You could just say we have run into horrible bad luck since things started downhill in Aug 2016 & things have been going terribly wrong for my daughter Alivia & I since then..
*Starting with @30yrs old (now 31) I was diagnosed w/APL (Cancer of the Blood & Bone Marrow In "Shock"? I know right? Me too!) On August 1st 2016 @the IHc Hospital in Murray, UT. Followed immediately by subjection to an extremely painful "Spinal Tap" to confirm, followed by very hard & devastating treatment.
**Hospitalized I started to need to be on oxygen daily, as the cancer was making It very hard to breathe @night & then the day (I'll never forget the look on my daughter's face when she first walked into my hospital room not only for the 1st time but EVERY time) & I’m still on it to this day!
***So, I fought n' fought till I was finally in REMISSION in Feb 2017 & released to sleep on my father's living room floor, but very GRATEFUL even for that & to be ALIVE so I never complained. After many follow up's, blood draws & testing, loads of medication & needle pokes, the then 2nd opinion Doctor told me "THE NEWS” that I was no longer in remission, beginning of April 2017-Which was then soon followed by test results that will show my Liver is having a hard time functioning 100% the way it should be & that I stop breathing in my sleep because of “Sleep Apnea”!
>I have 1 daughter named Alivia, the best little girl any parent could wish for & it breaks my heart that we're in this situation right now. Not only does she not have a father that cares or has ever even met her, but she is an only child with very little family left & deserves to "HAVE HER HAPPY FAIRY TALE ENDING TOO"!!
**NOW, to make matters allot worse we're @YWCA Shelter for DV Victims (safe but very emotionally & physically draining) w/nothing to call our own, & have just been given an EXIT DATE of Tomorrow December 7th 2017 by noon! I cannot get my keys until this evening & I do not know how I am going to move everything from the shelter to the apartment in 24 hours & this weather, but I’m supermom and I’ll work it out!
~However, I cannot seem to stop thinking "Who gave me the right to take that away from her"? Sick or not, it’s my job to give her the best chance @ a happy life & to do so I need to ask for help when I'm down & out (hard to do or not) SO that is what I am here doing!
~She hardly complains (I'm always being told how Brilliant & Helpful, funny yet well behaved, & very kind to everyone she is) or argues w/me, & I’m always told “how great I did w/her & so on"!! WHY and "How is this fair to her??" It isn't & it breaks my heart!
> Its 18 days until what is "supposed to be" one of the "Happiest days of the year" for most children & my child (The best one-In my eyes lol) is stuck here @ this place w/me & the choices I (not her) have made in my life to get us here!
> I am trying to be positive & not let her see that this is affecting the woman she calls “Her hero, her mom”, But NO matter how hard or long I pray this thing called life just keeps bringing my family down! I turn 32 on Christmas Eve & the Holidays are just around the corner (all I want/need is her Christmas to be amazing).
>I have tried everything (i.e. Radio stations, The Ellen Show, The news, my friends have said they submitted us as deserving, along w/many other charities) but to no avail (As of today)!
*But finally, after allot of searching & applying w/our situation, we have been approved for our very own place for just us (w/only positive vibes & energy) & will hopefully be in there soon!
*Lastly, the program we have been placed on only allows $688 for max 9 months, so I'm forced to pay the diff in the two + Electric = roughly $403 monthly (Cannot legally try working until Dr. reviews medical in October 2018) & it will be hard.
<Although it'll be tight, being on disability & no child support or state welfare, it was all I could find (w/o jeopardizing our health & safety) that would give me the fighting chance I need to raise a child that deserves the world>
