So, with constant tears and lack of sleep, I've decided to do something I never thought I'd break down to do. And that's ask for help. My son is South Carolina and I had to come back home to Georgia because I'm out of PTO at my job due to me having my own autoimmune disease and the several hours I had to take off work up to this point for Doctor visits and lab work. Tomorrow I plan to go to work to put in for FMLA and figure out how to get back to my son. Being so far away from him is mentally destroying me right now, I can barely even see through the tears to type this up. His wife is there with him and she's being an outstanding human right now but she also needs help with this. They have a huge support group up there but with me being so far away is ripping my heart apart with every passing second. All I need is some gas money and a place to stay close to the hospital since I cannot stay there overnight, they are only letting one person stay overnight and that's reserved rightfully for my daughter-in-law. I spent my whole paycheck over the last few days going up there and back but now that I'm back, I badly need to go back... I can't be here, I'm going insane just knowing my boy is in the condition he is in (Guillain–Barré syndrome) and I'm stuck back home 350 miles away from him. I've never had to ask for any type of financial help like this and even if you can only offer prayer, I appreciate it. Anything anyone feels led to offer will be immensely appreciated. I will keep and provide receipts for every refuel, meals even though I have zero appetite, room and board, etc. that is needed for me, him, his wife and kids. The thought of this and having to feel like I'm begging is killing me but I have nowhere else to turn. I just want to go be with my son because I can barely even function since I came back home yesterday. I only have cashapp, nothing else. Never had to have any of these before for anything. Our lives have been flipped upside down in the last week and I'd give anything for him to be well again. I'm so sorry to have to do and ask this and just know I will never forget you guys for all the outpouring of prayer. Thank you again. God Bless.
