Hey you guys!! I am doing this fundraiser for myself and if you know me, you know I'm rather embarrassed to be doing it. I'm sure yall have been wondering where I've been, well here's my story. I have been at Palmetto Addiction Recovery Center since November. Hi, I'm Sarah and I am an alcoholic with a marijuana problem. I've never used or drank while at work, only at home during my own personal time. Being an RN, I am held to certain standards of which having a marijuana card is invalid per the Board that I am required to answer to. When I first arrived here at Palmetto, I was scared out of my mind. And also thinking I don't need to be here. LOL! I learned really quick that yes I did need to be here and honestly it's the best thing I've ever done for myself. I have learned more than I ever imagined I could learn about myself and my hurts, habits and hang ups! I am also learning healthy coping skills and ways to set healthy boundaries. I am also learning that I am worthy of good things and am surrounded with great people whom also have my best interest at heart; and all of it is pure with not a single negative underlying motive. I have recently been granted extra privileges and thats where the help comes in that I desperately need. I was fired from my job in August and have been here since November with absolutely no income. I have been left with debt that I was not expecting...my cell phone is now behind almost $300; my vehicle is currently behind $1800 with my next note due on February 5th. I am now having to pay housing expenses of $120 per week so $480 per month ( again, this comes with the special privileges I've been granted due to my success). I am applying for foodstamps and searching for jobs. I will not be able to do nursing for at least another 3 months. This may be considered too personal to some yet honesty is all I know. And its the ugly honest truth and I am okay with that. This is one of the hardest things for me to do asking for help but even $1 is more than the dollar I do not have. So, if you're heart is willing I am beyond grateful and appreciative of anything you're able to send. I am excited for this new chapter in my life and I have seen the miracles God has made happen just for me in these last 2 months. And, I have faith that He will continue to make miracles happen for me.
