My name is Colleen. As some of you may know, I have a 5-year-old little boy, Jeremiah, who has been having a lot of severe mental health issues. Due to this, I have needed to take a leave of absence from work to make sure I'm with him every step of the way, ensuring he is staying safe.

Friday, August 1st, he got sent to the hospital because of an outburst containing suicidal thoughts. We have now been in the ER psych unit since, awaiting a bed at a facility that can help him! I have been here by his side, and there is no date when we will find a bed available to further his treatment and get him the proper help that he needs to get through this!

I never ask for help, but I am struggling financially to keep my family provided for. Also, as some of you may or may not know, there are no hospitals with pediatric units nearby. I will be traveling daily back and forth to wherever they find him a bed. With the gas and food prices as they are, that financial burden alone will be hard for me, adding that to my regular monthly bills.

I am asking for some financial help with all of this as well as your thoughts and prayers for Jeremiah as we find the right treatment that he will need. I thank you all for your prayers and donations.
