Good evening! I'm a 52-year-old mother of six children. I have masses on both my lungs, my left lung the masses are growing. I need a right knee replacement, it is very difficult to walk. My oldest is 35, and he's handicapped; he has severe epilepsy and four areas of brain damage in all the frontal lobes. He does live here, and I take care of him. My youngest boy is 16 years old, whom I homeschool. I have seven grandchildren. I can't go see four of them because it's almost an hour away and I have no way to get there. I really miss my 2-year-old grandson Preston he's my boy. When and if I do have the ability to get a vehicle that's the first place I'm going to go to go see my baby boy. This is the hardest time of my life I've ever had. I do not like to ask people for anything, but I'm having a problem because I have no vehicle right now, low on food and not a drop of fuel oil in the tank. Using 2 small space heaters and a small radiator type portable heater.

I have a granddaughter that lives with us also. She is 1 year old, and I love her with all my heart. For the first time in my life, I'm having extreme difficulty providing what everyone needs. My animal Zoey, who is in the picture I posted, needs to go to the vet. She has masses on her body; I did post one of the pictures. She's also developing a hard one coming out of her stomach. She is 6 years old, and I cannot lose her; she is my world.

I'm just trying to get enough money to get a decent vehicle and get my baby to the vet. That's all I want. I'm not selfish, and I'm not greedy, but my darling lives once. I do not want to give her to anyone else; she loves us so much. She is so good with the one-year-old; she's very gentle.

If this works and I'm able to get just my basic needs met, hopefully soon I'll be able to pay it forward and help other people. With so many kids in the house and my dog being sick, I need a car that's reliable; it doesn't have to be fancy. And with Christmas coming up, my nerves are awful. I can't even afford toilet paper right now let alone a Christmas tree or a presents. I'm actually very embarrassed to even write any of this. I feel like I have to apologize to people.

It would be great to get a second chance at life. Thank you for reading this, even if you don't help or you're not able to. Take care, and thank you again!
