Recovering from a heart attack and needing financial help.

I didn't really want to do this because I haven't had much luck with something like this in the past, but I figured, why not try it anyway? I might get blessed.

Some of you have known me for many years on Facebook, and with writing, so you know more about me and what I have been through than most. I know that life hasn't been easy for anyone ever since COVID-19 first hit, but the past two years have been extremely difficult for others. Last year, I lived in a nice apartment in Connecticut, lost everything I owned except what I could fit in my car, and moved home to Virginia without a place to live or a job. I had to put my Baby girl, my cat, to sleep because she had cancer.

I was blessed to find a room to rent quickly and a job, and I'm deeply grateful for that. But, now, there's my most recent event.

On November 13, 2024, I had a heart attack at work. The ambulance was called and I was rushed to Lewis Gale Hospital. A stint was put in and an additional three medications to go along with the other six were added. This was my fourth heart attack. I won't know until Monday, November 18th, how long I may be out of work. I'm applying for my short-term disability, but everyone knows that it's nearly impossible to live off of that, and that's not even counting medical expenses. I'm concerned, with four heart attacks, that' I will be on some level of disability. There's a strong possibility I will lose my car. They've already given me a pass twice, so I'm already two months behind. I don't know how I'm going to pay rent, get groceries and items needed that can't be consumed, and my medications. I do not like having to ask for help this way. Life is hard for everyone, but I don't have a choice.

I might only be out of work for two or three weeks or longer, but when you count on every single penny you work hard for, and don't have any sick time or vacation time, those missed days from work can be extremely painful and with harsh consequences. I have no idea how I'm going to get through this other than to have faith and reach out for help.

This is a very humbling experience. I'm nearly 58 and I'm doing my best to climb out of the rubble and attempt to have somewhat of a life. I need help. Yes, I'm scared. I have many emotions flowing through me all at once, but I'm definitely scared right now.

If you can please find it in your heart to help me I will be extremely grateful. The money will help me not lose my car, pay rent, and other expenses, as well as my medications.

Please, please, share this on your Facebook page, and any other social media that you may have, so your friends and family can see it.

This is not a scam. I truly am in desperate need of help. Thank you.
