Breast cancer survivor now sepsis and strokes please help

Donation protected


My mom survived breast cancer and then this happens! I don't usually ask for help, but my mom has been in ICU since April 3rd. I've been her caretaker for over 6 years. I found my mom unconscious Thursday, April 3rd, and called 911. My poor kids had to see their grandmother be carried out in a sling that looked like a bag. It turns out she had a stroke, her heart rate was in the high hundreds, she has sepsis, and E. coli in her blood. They have found clots in her head and neck, and even though she had her gallbladder removed many years ago, they found stones in her bile duct. They were able to remove them, and her memory was coming back, which was nice because she finally knew who I was. The first 5 days, she didn't know who I was and thought I was three different people. At one point, she thought it was 1979 and asked me where her husband was, even though my father passed away in 1996.

I am on FMLA through my job, but it's unpaid. Unfortunately, when I went back to the hospital on the morning of April 12th, I found out she started getting worse, so they had to put her under again and found blood clots in her bile duct. Now her kidneys and liver are being affected. When she wakes up from this surgery, there's a high chance it will affect her memories again. There's a big chance that if she pulls through, she may need me to be her full-time caretaker. I've already lost my brother and sister. I'm definitely not ready to lose my mama too.

With all that being said, since FMLA doesn't pay me while I'm out, I'm in desperate need of help for my rent, bills, and gas. I am driving over a half hour to get to the hospital, and I am making the drive multiple times a day because I still have my two sons to get to school and check on them once they get home. Please, if you can help, I would truly appreciate it, and I know my mom would too. My mom means so much to this family, so anything that you can donate would be helpful. Thank you for taking the time to read my plea for help.
