Hey guys, I don’t really know how to start this or what the heck I’m even doing asking, but I'm in need of a little bit of financial help with my mother, Veronica. Last year in August, she suffered 2 brain aneurysms while out eating with my sister. They ended up putting a shunt and some coils in her head to stop the bleeding, and while dealing with the brain aneurysm, they discovered that she had a tumor that covered the whole right side of her kidney. They scheduled to remove it in February 2025.

Fast forward to March 2025, while recovering from that and going to her weekly doctor’s appointments, they discovered she had another aneurysm but it had not erupted. They scheduled another appointment in May 2025 in Stanford to insert more coils in her head. She’s slowly recovering from this last brain aneurysm.

My mom is currently employed at the United States Post Office, but because they don’t provide disability and she already used up all her sick leave and vacation pay, and since she’s out of work, she can’t pay for insurance through work. So, she’s having a hard time with personal and medical bills and is putting everything on her credit card. She owes close to $8,000 on it. She’s been on the IHSS waiting list since October. She’s tried calling and contacting people for help, but it seems like she’s not getting anywhere, and her only choice right now is to wait for a worker at IHSS to pick up her case so we can figure out if my brother the one who stays home and cares for her will be getting paid or if she is able to go back to work. So until then, I’m her main provider financially. I’m helping with as many of the bills as I can, but her credit card being so much is something I can’t afford right now.

I’m just trying to help my mama not stress so much. I really can’t afford for her to be stressed and cause herself to have another brain aneurysm. We appreciate you taking the time to read this. Thank you.
