My name is Mina. I'm a 32-year-old mom of 3 who has come into very hard times. I just had gastric surgery on June 12th and stayed in the hospital until yesterday, 6/20. I suffered complications in another gastric surgery last July 2024, and I have lost almost 200 lbs in less than a year without diet or exercise. Simply starvation. I was vomiting 12+ times a day EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. FOR. A. YEAR! I vomited so much that my esophagus suffered deterioration and needed repair, so this surgery on the 12th was a 3-in-1. They gave me what's known, I guess, as a gastric bypass, so technically I have 2 stomachs now (pretty cool, huh?), and they also removed hernias from my stomach due to the excessive vomiting all year. So needless to say, I spent all of 2024 till now vomiting my brains out and losing vitamins and weight as well. I needed iron infusions, vitamin supplements, and any other supplements, honestly, that exist... it ruined my life forever. I will never be the same, and the doctors have said the same. Time xan only heal me by the grace of God .I can now only stomach cream soups and broth for the next month until i even attempt to eat mashed potatoes or similar. I barely eat 3 oz a day, and I'm not okay at all.

Due to my surgery recently, my husband lost all his future jobs (he is a handyman), and we don't have any jobs lined up, nor do we have funds to advertise for work. My husband can't get a job in a company because we have a company already; we just fell on very hard times. We are behind on bills, rent, we have almost no food, and we would go to food banks except my kids are all lactose intolerant, we have religious preferences, and also high allergies, so we eat specific foods. I don't need organic, etc., just nothing they are allergic to, and food banks don't care for allergies.

We are behind $1768 on bills from June, and now we'll be behind in July as well because we have sold all the stuff we can, but we can't make ends meet. We are suffering honestly and need a miracle. I know there are worse situations; I know there are harder times, but right now, I'm typing this from bed while on 9 different meds after surgery. I can only walk 10 minutes at a time due to 8 wounds and excessive pain. I can't afford anything for my kids. We canceled their taekwondo and basketball because we just can't afford it. I need a miracle. I sincerely do. I just need to pay rent and get food; the rest I will manage. I'm a child from war. I'm used to pains. I am a fighter, but I can't fight from my bed. I just can't. Thank you so much, and I can upload pics of everything to anyone interested if there are any doubts in me. I just need help. God bless.
