If you have taken the time to get this far, I want to say thank you, sincerely, for taking time away from the many other things that you could have chosen to do at this very moment, in order to read my story and possibly even consider making a contribution to help me.
It is extremely difficult to put my pride aside in order to ask for help, especially when I am much more accustomed to being the one to help others.
Those of you that know me, know that I work hard and am always willing to put aside my own needs in order to be there for others. I have always provided for my daughters as a parent should, and of course I am doing my best to continue to provide for and ensure the best possible future for them.
This has been a year full of obstacles and lessons that I must be learning for a purpose, though it is not yet apparent what that purpose could possibly be. I am pushing forward and doing my very best to persevere in spite of it all, but the blows just seem to keep coming.
Here it is........
On Saturday, December 13, 2014, my only vehicle, a 17 yr old Honda Civic, was stolen from the street outside of the apartment complex where I am staying temporarily while trying to get a new home for my daughters and I.
This past Summer (2014) I was diagnosed with a tumor in my Pituitary Gland - for those that don't know, it is located in the brain. Fortunately the tumor is benign- which means it's not cancer, but unfortunately it is not harmless. I have been under treatment and will continue to be for many months to come. If the current treatment works as it is intended then I will avoid surgery to remove the tumor - please pray for this as I would really like to avoid having any sharp objects near my brain. Call me crazy, but for some reason the idea alone makes me a little anxious.
I have been blessed with an amazing family that has done everything possible to help me cover the extreme cost that my medical care has quickly become while I was uninsured. Fortunately, as of October, I finally have medical insurance, but those prior months did some major damage to any sense of financial security that may have existed for me and my family.
The road to achieving medical insurance coverage has been extremely financially draining, stressful and exasperating to say the least. I now battle daily with my insurance provider in regards to reimbursment for all of the medical costs that my family had to pay cash for.
Through all of this I continue to work 30+ hours per week, and I am fortunate to have a job that I enjoy, but my income just isn't sufficient to cover anything outside of the necessities. Even with insurance my medications are still quite costly.
I must replace my car in order to get my daughters to school, and myself to work and to my continuous flow of Dr appts.
I only have a couple more weeks until the deadline that was agreed upon for me to find a place - I may need to request a small extension, but I'm really trying to hold up my end.
Of course there is always more to any situation, and there are many facets to mine. I'm more than willing to give you more information should you want it. Just let me know.
In closing, I humbly ask for your prayers for my family and myself..and if you are able to contribute anything...even $1 adds up... in order to help me get back on my feet, please be assured that it will not be wasted!
Thank you!
