Hi! I’m a twenty six year old librarian in the Boston area and suffered a bad break to my ankle last November. I must have the worst stroke of luck ever because I fell off a curb and broke my ankle again. I am the primary caretaker of my mother who is disabled and used a significant amount of my sick time at work from my previous surgery. I have no one else to rely on to help my mother and am panicked about what this will be again.

I am devastated that this happened. I am not certain what the next several months will look like but know I am going to need help hiring cleaners to help my mother out, with groceries, rent, helping mother with bills, and other expenses. I hate asking people for help or money, it is genuinely so embarassing for me but I have no other choice. I am scared and very overwhelmed right now, it would be a complete and major relief to just have to worry about recovery. I have an amazon wishlist as well and would appreciate if you can share this.
