Pulling to be the strongest stroke survivor!

First of all I want to say thank you, from the bottom of my heart, to everyone that went out of their way, sacrificed their money, and time, to give to me and my family in my greatest time of need. I want you to know how grateful, how thankful, and how blessed I truly feel. Because of all of you, I was able to pay off my medical bills. No words can ever explain what that means to me.

I'm sorry that I haven't been around , and I'm sorry I haven't personally thanked each of you; the raw truth: it's been hard. Excruciatingly hard. I was in the hospital for quite some time, and when I got out, the place I once considered home, wasn't. The aftermath of the stroke was devastating. My husband, at the time of the stroke, decided he was no longer able to be my husband. Our marriage was troubled at the time and this proved to be too much. I had to learn to speak and walk again. I relapsed and had another stroke a year later and ended up back in the hospital. My world, the one I once took for granted, was in a tailspin.

I am so grateful for the time I had with my parents, but I wish so badly they were still here. I miss them dearly. I felt alone, and in a dark, dark place. I needed them; I still need them. I was embarrassed of myself, I was brutally ashamed. I didn’t know how to pick up the pieces of my life. I was determined to though. I found my Faith. I believe I am finally back on track, or at least working towards it every day. I go to physical therapy numerous times a week, and I have a job as a pharmacy tech at CVS. I am blessed to be able to have lived with different friends over the past few years.

Ah, my sweet Dylan. She is what motivates me to continue working towards my goals everyday...without her, I don’t think I would have a reason to get up. She has kept me strong when I was too weak to fight. She is the sunshine on my cloudiest of days. This is why I am asking for help once again. I need a place to call home. Somewhere she can come over and spend the night or weekend with me. Nothing fancy. Just a place for her and I to continue to create memories in a place the judge would approve overnight stays. I have been able to save some money, now that I am working again, but it is a struggle and will take me quite some time to get enough for security deposit. Each day is time I could have more of with my daughter. If you can help, even a little it would be cherished. If you cannot, I understand. We are all fighting to keep our heads above water. Thank you for reading this, and thank you for being there for me.
