I honestly never thought I would have to do this for myself, but I am living a nightmare that I never expected to happen to me and my family.

Let me start by saying this month started with me being laid off from work (12/4 - due to budget cuts) with no severance pay, not receiving my end-of-year bonus, and it was done at the end of a pay period, so no other checks would be received. I thought things could NOT get worse until I received a call that no parent wants on 12/10: my oldest SON - DAVID had been shot in the neck and a bullet entered the brain! He has multiple skull fractures, brain bleeds, blood clots, his left ear is destroyed internally, and brain damage. This is an active crime, so I am not able to go into details, but this Momma will not rest until I have the truth and all the pieces to this nightmare! He was taken to a North GA Hospital and then airlifted to a trauma center in another state. He is in ICU/coma and now he has been hit with double pneumonia, fever that won't go away, chest tubes, you name it! I have never seen so many tubes hooked up to a patient, let alone your baby (he may be 32, but he is the one who blessed me with the title of MOM!)! He has NO CLUE I am there or anyone that comes in the room! He is not responding to any commands! This Momma is so broken, lost, confused, scared, and hurt!

The doctors still are not able to give me the "promise" he will even make it, but I have my faith and the Pastor coming in daily to pray with me and David! Momma is NOT letting him quit! He is a fighter!! I am not able to stay with him because they are very strict on visitation, so every morning I drive 2-3 hours to be with him from (9A-12P), then 12-4P. There are no visitations allowed, so I go to the car, make calls to family, mentally break down (cause I want to stay strong while in his room), and most times I cry myself to sleep in the backseat. Then from 4-8P, I am back by his side just hoping he will wake up! After visitation, I drive the 2-3 hr drive back home. I financially can't afford to stay at a hotel or Airbnb. During the mid-day break, if I can hold myself together, I go online and apply for jobs (this time of year my career is hard since I am a MultiSite Commercial Project Manager; most construction companies are slow in the 4th quarter and beginning of the 1st quarter). I am even applying to step back into the Office Manager Role. I am trying and even applied for unemployment, but that is running 6-10 weeks behind. I am at the point where funds are almost dried up and I am stepping WAY out of my comfort zone to ask for help!

I can either pay the car note and insurance and then basically live in my car up at the hospital or pay the rent at my apartment (luckily, they reduced my rent for the next few months but still not enough for me to keep a roof over my head) and not have a car to go be with my son. I am at a loss for what to do! Times like this, being single is no fun!! There is so much sitting on my shoulders right now that Momma is crumbling! Everyone says I am strong and a "tough one," but honestly, I do not want that title anymore. I want someone to take it and carry me (I know it is the emotions in me at the moment, and I am not a quitter, but geez, I need this nightmare to end!!). I just want to spend all my energy focusing on my Son at this time, but I can't because I am also stressing when eviction papers will be attached to my door (by the 12th of next month) and also finding a job! I haven't had time to think about David's aftercare after all this!

I have some awesome friends & family reaching out wanting to know how they can help - PRAYERS - a lot of them! So a close friend suggested I start this page. I will also share my ZELLE and CASH App in case you want to skip the fees. I have rambled on, I apologize - still trying to comprehend this nightmare!
