Hello My name is Sherilyn Lum-Alarcon,

I am married to a wonderful man , Cris Alarcon.

Cris has epilepsy and I have Sjogren's Syndrome . I also have Bilateral acromioclavicular and glenohumeral joint osteoarthritis.amoung back and hand wrist arthitis I am no longer able to work although I do care from him full time . But only get paid for a little over part time. I cannot live on this and I need help. I am asking for $20,000. with this and the $900.00 that I make a month taking care of Cris. I cannot pay all of my rent , I have have applied for SSI and SDI. But Cris has not . It may take years to work through. I have enough food but no money to pay for none food stuffs like denture fixative $5.00 and $4.00Efferdent.(I lost all my teeth due to excessive dry mouth) Keeping my electric going $250.00 and gas for our stove and hot water heater.$100.00 My phone is small but I need the internet to keep in touch during emergencies$89.00

I need money for gasoline to get Cris and I to Drs. appts and blood tests. My car is paid for so no car payments but registration,145.00 a year and insurance65.00 .

I am hoping to have things better in line but I so need help now.

I am 60 years old and Cris is 58. Neither of us has bad habits and live frugally. I am just not able to provide enough income to live on right now.. His exspenses are rising and I am at a loss . His next surgery will be in June. It will be a temporal lobe recission that is removal. He has most of his language and thinking on the left side. If he keeps having siezures the left side will be where they target yet, his elipsiologist believes that he may. We pray that this surgery will stop the siezures. This will take a long time to resolve.

Anything that you can spare would go a long way to putting us upright.

Thank you and Blessings,

Sherri Sherilyn Lum-Alarcon
