Aloha, I'm Lesley & I could use some help! I am a hardworking mom of 3 & I lost my ability to work as a restaurant server, after breaking my leg recently. I will need surgery & recovery time. My disability benefits are pending and the bills are piling up quickly.

Immediately prior to breaking my leg, the engine on my car quit & I have been in the process of working on acquiring a new engine & getting it installed.

I am a seasonal restaurant worker. Summer is when I make the majority of my income. Working at night allows me to spend my days with kids. We like to go to the beach & ponds. We go to the playground & the skatepark. Sometimes we skate and surf and paddle around the pond all in the same day. We were at the skatepark when I broke my leg. It was actually a couple of days before school ended for summer break. Now all summer activities have come to a screeching halt.

I am currently waiting for surgery (it's been over two weeks since my accident). Then, my recovery can begin. At this time, I do not know how long it will be before I can walk, or work again.

It is difficult to be so publicly vulnerable as to ask for help online. I am humbled and hopeful of any support offered to my family at this time. Any amount or prayer given is appreciated. Thank you& & MAHALO!
