Hi everyone, I wasn't sure if this was a good idea at first but then I remembered every time someone said "its ok to ask for help, especially when you have gone through something so life changing"

So here goes..

My name is Skye and just over a month ago I found out I had a brain tumour, "the size of a nice lemon" the doctor says as I sit in silence confused by the words that I am hearing.. A brain tumour? How? When? How bad is it? It's the last 2 weeks of school before school holidays and I have 3 young boys at home. I can't leave them, how do I explain to a 2 year old that mummy has to have some surgery and may not be able to walk again or even die?

As you can imagine my mind was in overdrive worrying about my husband and children. Not being there for them when they needed me, I was the one in control and now that was being taken away from me.

I had surgery to remove this lemon sized tumour that was at the front of my skull on Friday 27th of June. I went into at 9:30am on the Friday and woke up Alone in ICU on Saturday at 1am. I was scared, I was alone and I was angry. My husband and 3 young boys were currently at our home, 4hours and 37 minutes away from where I was and had my surgery at St Vincent's hospital in Sydney. Not having them there with me was stressful and upsetting to say the least. My husband had to keep going to work to keep the $$ coming in, so him driving back and forth to be with me in Sydney was next to impossible. We had our usual bills to still pay, as well as new medical ones..

I got out of hospital on Monday 21st of July, I couldn't walk last week.. I am finally back under one roof with my little family. But after a few days being home, I have realised just how hard this recovery is going to be. I am worn out by 10am, getting up from the lounge and even the toilet is hard. I can't pick my kids up from school, I can't walk long distances, I can't even vacumn 5 rooms without having to sit down for 5 or 10 minutes. I honestly feel useless as a mother right now because I can't do everything im suppose to.

Well that was a lot to read sorry..

So, why start a go fund me page and what will donations be used for??

Any and all donations will be used to go towards the cost of travel so I can attend doctors and specialist appointments, it will be used to hire someone weekly to clean my house, it will be used to purchase a shower chair, to put a few rails in the bathroom so I can lift myself up, all new medications I have to now take. And then given I can't work at the moment and am unsure of if I will ever be able to return to work, I will use some of it for other bills, such as school fees and/Or sporting equipment for my sons.

Yes I feel hopeless, yes I feel overwhelmed, yes I am not out of the woods yet with my health, but I need to do this for my young boys and husband. For someone who never asks for help, who even when life is shitting on her she gets up everyday and just does it for her kids, and now I'm asking for alittle help because I'm getting worn down more and more every day and I refuse to give up..
