Over the past six years, my health has really gone downhill. I’m constantly sick and in and out of the ER, which has made it so hard to keep up with everything. Every time I turn around, something else is breaking or another bill is piling up. I’ve tried every resource I can think of, but I feel like I’m running out of options and can barely breathe from the stress.

This has been especially hard as a parent. My son depends on me, and I want to give him stability and hope, even when things feel impossible. I’ve always tried to handle things on my own, but right now, I need to ask for help. The funds raised will go directly toward keeping a roof over our heads, covering daily expenses like groceries and utilities, and paying for the medical bills that keep adding up while I wait for my hearing.

Tonight, I decided to swallow my pride and reach out for help—not just for myself, but for my son too. Any support, no matter how small, would mean the world to us and help us stay afloat during this difficult time. Thank you for reading and for any help you can give.

As of Friday I officially have a hearing date for my social security disability which is May 11th at 9am. I am so grateful to finally have a date and time. Remember to always advocate for yourself. No body knows your body like you, no one.

I had covid for the first time in November of 2019, and then again in October of 2024. Each time I had covid I notice my body never fully recovered. In October of 2024 I was diagnosed with long covid. The long covid symptoms I suffer from are: insomnia, chronic sore throat, headaches, random dizziness, shortness of breath, extreme fatigue, depression, anxiety, chronic body pain, and brain fog.

I also have diverticulitis. The flare ups are extremely painful ending me up in the ER for antibiotics and pain relief. I have been in so many times always wondering if the next time is bad enough to where my insurance will cover the surgery, finally. The surgery would remove the diverticulitis which would relieve my stomach pain completely. There are other symptoms of diverticulitis, but I’ll spare you the details!!!

In 2018 I was involved in a horrible car accident. I had to grow up real quick. From the car accident I was so graciously gifted PTSD, extreme anxiety and extreme depressive disorder. I also have chronic thoracic pain.

I had my son in 2022. I had him via c-section. I was stuck at 5 1/2 centimeters for almost 20 hours. During that time the pressure of my son being stuck caused me to get an anal rectal abscess. Talk about painful; it literally felt like I was giving birth out my bottom. I wouldn’t know it was an abscess until three months after having my son. I just thought the way I felt was “normal.” Boy was I wrong! One day the pain was unimaginable, so I had my boyfriend at the time drop me off at the ER. That was when I found out it was an abscess. That night I had it drained not via surgery but done while awake. Ouch!!! The doctor promised me I would feel 1000% times better by the next day. That couldn't have been further from the truth! I woke up feeling worse. I didn’t think it was possible, but no pun intended, it was! So again I had my boyfriend at the time drop me back off while he took care of our three months after having old son. That night I had surgery to drain the abscess. I had no idea that this would be the result of eight surgeries total for this one issue over three years.

In 2023 I broke my tailbone. I slipped in my garage. I had just put my son in his playpen in the house and ran back out to get my phone charger, when I was coming out of the garage I slipped sending me flying in the air and crashing down on my tailbone. I remember hearing the crack and feeling it at the same time. Talk about a pain in the a**!!!

Now please remember all of these things happened while experiencing long COVID. I’m not telling you guys my story to feel sorry for me, no, I’m telling you because I want you to understand what I have gone through and continue to go through.

So please if you can donate to keep my head above water until May 11th I would be forever grateful. If you can’t donate send positive vibes, prayers, share the go fund me, just please help me get the word out so I can get the support I need.
