Furniture Destroyed and Adoption

Other: Accidents, Emergencies and Dreams, Hopes & Wishes  

I feel the need to tell you all Our Whole Story and I am going to tell the Whole Story in hoping that everybody who reads it understands that Our Situation and Our Great Dire Need to raise those said funds is Real.  We Deserve Total Respect here...please.  I really need to tell you all what was going on, and please understand Our Situation and Our Great Dire Need to raise those said Funds. Please take the time to read Our Story here...and I am sorry it's long, but you all need to know everything. My husband has a Life-Threatening Medical Condition, and everyone copes differently with their Medical Conditions, most especially if those said Medical Conditions are Life-Threatening, like in my husband's case. I know that there are many people that have Serious Medical Conditions and they may also be Life-Threatening, but, they may not of had a Bed Bug Infestation or they never had one as bad as we did. It isn't our fault that we ended up with that Bed Bug Infestation that we got and the fact that it Destroyed all of Our Furniture and all of our Bedding and everything that we own. There was a Tenant who lived in Unit #3 here where we live and they were the one's that got Infested with those Bed Bugs, and what that Tenant did was she abruptly moved out and never told MHA (Manitoba Housing Authority, subsidized housing) for 3 months that she even moved out and never told MHA that she was even Infested with those Bed Bugs and when that Tenant finally told MHA that she moved out and handed in her keys, MHA still never went in to that Unit for a year and those Bed Bugs spread to Unit #2 and our Unit, Unit #1 and when MHA Maintenance finally went into Unit #3, they found a Huge Bed Bug Nest in the wall in that Unit.  When I did notice the Bed Bugs, I tried treating them on my own, with Household Cleaning Products and Bleach, but at that time they were only in my son’s room and those Bed Bugs were gone for a while and at that time our Furniture and everything that we own was not Destroyed by the Bed Bug Feces until they ended up coming back and they spread throughout our home and that was when we found out that they came from Unit #3 and then our Property Manager told us that we were going to have Treatments (by their Pest Control Team).  The thing is our Property Manager told us that in July of 2016 and they didn't start treating for them until 3 months later and those Bed Bugs ended up spreading even more and that was when all of our Furniture and everything that we own was Completely Destroyed with Bed Bug Feces.  So now we do indeed have to throw out all of our Destroyed Furniture and everything else that we own and buy all Brand New, it's all true. I do not lie.  We do indeed have a Great Dire Need to raise those Funds.  My husband can not sit or even sleep on the floor for a few weeks (as a FB Friend has told us to just chuck all of our Furniture out and sit and sleep on the floor for a few weeks and save the money that we had to use for the treatments to buy the New Furniture and Stuff).  My husband has a Bad Back and had 3 Back Surgeries and on top of that he is an Epileptic with Non-Convulsive Status Epilepticus and what “Money” did we have that went towards the treatments? We never paid for the Bed Bug Treatments, MHA has their own Pest Control Team and MHA paid for the Treatments. We had/have no money for any such Treatments, so where would we even get the money to save to be able to put towards the New Furniture and Stuff, of which that FB Friend told us to do. That is why I had a Great Dire Need to put this GoFundMe Fundraiser together. Think about it, why do you think I had such a Great Dire Need to put this Fundraiser together?, because we don’t have any money to put towards the New Furniture and everything else that was Totally Destroyed and for our other Several Serious Causes.  Another FB Friend of ours also told me that there are a lot of people that are going through worse then what we are going through. They don’t have any such idea what we are going through. They have no right to say that about us when they, absolutely do not have any such idea what we are going through. So they shouldn’t talk like that about anyone, when they know nothing.  We, me, my husband and my son are one of those said Families that are of the “Very Less Fortunate” in this world today. Just like those in Africa and almost just as “Bad” and those FB Friends have the nerve to speak to me like that and you all wonder why I get upset. I definitely have my reasons to get upset and I have not done anything wrong and neither has my husband or my son. We have done absolutely nothing wrong here. I would absolutely never be like that to anyone who had a Great Dire Need to raise funds like me and my husband. It was them, the way they were speaking to me and about my son as well as my husband. What they said to me was down right “Wrong” and I mean “Wrong”.  They need to “Learn” how to have “Respect” for the “Poor” and the “Needy” who have a Great Dire Need to have this Fundraiser like me and my husband. We have a Great Dire Need to very well raise those said Funds. That is so wrong and by having several of our FB Friends speaking to me like that and they say that they are Christians and Followers of Jesus Christ.  My husband is Highly Allergic to the Bed Bug Feces and understand that please.  I have gotten in touch with the Church that we attended and they told me that they can’t help us as they are helping way too many people already. The Church that my husband and I have attended, when we were able to, have well over 700 Church Goers and they may have even more now, as they had a great need to expand their Church to 2 other locations that they purchased and all 3 of those locations are about a block from each other. That Church is a Huge Church Community here in Winnipeg and that is why they are unable to help us. as they are again helping way too many already.  We have attended that Church that I have stated above but right now we can not go to our Church, as my husband is not doing well.  We have nothing to be able to even work our way up.  We also shop at Dollarama all the time.  My son has absolutely not piled in on us (as a FB Friend of ours has said to me) and he does pay his way and has been ever since he turned 18 yrs. old.  We also Shop Smart always have. It is also very hard to Shop Smart when you barely have any money to begin with to be able to even Shop Smart. We go without any Food left for more than 2 weeks out of Every Single Month and absolutely No Money left either to even be able to get anymore Healthy Food or any such Food for that matter, so we than have absolutely No Choice but to go out to eat on the day that we have to go Shopping for what Food we are able to get and Our Other Necessities. You have to also realize that when you go Shopping you are absolutely not just buying Food, you know and with that, people like me, my husband and my son, are only able to buy so much Food Per Month and that is it and believe me we can barely buy any such Food, as it is. Plus, we do not receive not even near enough Benefits for any such Food that will even last us not even near close to a whole month anyway. We are the Lowest on the Poverty Line here in Manitoba and all across Canada, according to Make Poverty History Manitoba, and EIA/EIA for Person's with Disabilities absolutely Refuses to Increase our Basic Needs, as they were suppose to Increase our Basic Needs in the beginning of 2017 and that was over 2 years ago, as stated in the links that I provided (see those links below).  I have been trying to do what I can on my own for my family, for years and that is why we, again, ended up having a Great Dire Need to put this Fundraiser together. This Fundraiser is Our Only Option and Our Last Resort.  I have never shot down any such advice, as I was told, whatsoever, because with that advice that I received I did it or tried to do already.  I have also done a lot to try to help Our Situation, as I was told that I was not doing anything to help Our Situation, When I very well did for a very long time, as a matter of fact. What do they know, they know nothing and I have stated everything here in Our Story and those people do not seem to understand anything. It's like a lot of them just don't know how to read or they just don't care.  I have also never said, that Bed Bugs Re-Infest Used Furniture (as someone else told me that I said that). What I said was, that we can not get Used Furniture because we can not take the Risk of the possibility of Re-Infesting our Home with Bed Bugs because you can Not Trust Used Furniture, you again, absolutely can Not Trust It, as there are Bed Bug Infestations all over Winnipeg, Canada, the United States and the Whole World and we just can Not Trust It by bringing it into Our Home. As it poses a Very High Risk of Re-Infestation. As even Heat Treated Furniture can still have Bed Bug Eggs Hiding Deep Inside the Furniture and yet when it comes to the Bed Bug Eggs they can not be Killed Off, as the surface of Bed Bug Eggs have a Strong Glue Like Substance that makes them especially Difficult To Move, Remove or Find and are Harder To Kill. So with the way Furniture is Heat Treated for Bed Bugs, you can't Guarantee that any such Bed Bug Eggs will all be Killed and once they hatch Bed Bugs can live up to 1 year without Feeding or even longer and even when Used Furniture has been Infested with Bed Bugs a lot of that Furniture may have Bed Bug Feces on it and it is Totally Destroyed and has to be Thrown Out, as it is Definitely Garbage and understand that. You also have to take into consideration that not all of those people who Heat Treat Furniture for Bed Bugs here in Winnipeg even conduct their job properly and they could do their job carelessly and any said Furniture isn't properly Heat Treated and that has happened, happens all the time, as I have been told, and that is the truth. Many people have even told us that when it comes to Bed Bug Infestations we need to burn all of Our Belongings and Start All Over.  My husband can die from his Medical Condition. A lot of our FB Friends seems to think that, that $50,000 that we are in Great Dire Need raise is just to replace things due to a Bed Bug Infestation, No, that $50,000 that we are in Great Dire Need to raise is absolutely not just for replacing things due to our Bed Bug Infestation that we had that Destroyed all of our Furniture and everything that we own. These FB Friends of ours, again, doesn't know how to read and understand anything about why we are in Great Dire Need to raise those said Funds. They are all thinking that, that $50,000 that we need to raise is to just replace all of our Furniture and everything that was Destroyed and again I repeat, No, that $50,000 is absolutely not just to replace what I stated above. We have Several Various Serious Causes and I have stated all of those said causes located here in Our Story. Those FB Friends of ours honestly do not know how to understand what I have even written here or they just don’t care to want to understand anything or they just don’t care at all, period...like, OMG. I absolutely do not know how many times I have to explain myself. So with all of what I have stated above about what all of those FB Friends of ours said to me and they all know who they are. No we can not keep our Destroyed Furniture (of which is covered in Bed Bug Feces), or take the Risk of getting Used Furniture because of my husband’s Life-Threatening Medical Condition and the possibility of Re-Infestation. Our situation is different and Much More Serious. None of those people, including those FB Friends that have made Disrespectful and Rude remarks are not getting it or understanding. My husband is also Highly Allergic to the Bed Bug Feces on our Destroyed Furniture and he is Suffering Bad and the Stress that my husband will end up with having to Fully Inspect any such Used Furniture will cause him even More High Stress and will Kill him. Why don’t they get that? My husband can again, die from his Medical Condition. That same FB Friend also told us to get those Mattress Covers and we already have those Mattress Covers, but those are now Destroyed from the Blood and Feces that came from the Bed Bugs that we had. We also are in Great Dire Need to raise those said Funds for many Other Serious Causes not just to replace our Destroyed Furniture and all of our Bedding. That same FB Friends also told me that my son and I can Inspect the Used Furniture before we bring it into our home, and to that as well, my son, has Obligations and other places that he needs to be and he is never home until late...alright. Plus, it is impossible for me to Inspect any such Used Furniture for possible Bed Bug Eggs, plus Bed Bug Eggs are very hard to see through the Naked Eye, as it is impossible for me to Inspect it with my Arthritis that I now have in my hands and I have Osteoarthritis in my left knee and the pain that I am in daily is too Overwhelming, Painful and Very Exhausting and I am now also getting Arthritis in my right knee, plus my whole body is suffering from all of that Pain, and on top of all of that, I also suffer from Anxiety Disorder.  So that can absolutely not be done because of Our Situation. Please... I am in a lot of Stress too. I also have a High Risk of Heart Attack and Heart Disease on my side of the Family. So again, what I have stated above can not be done. Now please have some Respect for us,,,please. We are going through way way too much here...please. None of them seem to want to understand anything. So I have unfriended all of those friends of ours, because I will not accept that kind of treatment towards us and Our Fundraiser and Our Situation and the plain simple fact that we are definitely in Great Dire Need to raise those said Funds.  Please understand Our Situation. My husband can again die from his condition.  Does my husband have to die?  Why do people have to treat us like that? As I have been told by many people who personally know me and they have all told me that I am the most sweetest person that they have ever meet and that I have a really good heart.  My husband and I both have also been told by many people that we both knew in the past that we have always seemed to drop everything that we had been doing and went out of our way just to help our friends and neighbors and we have also in the past have even given them money that they needed when we had those extra funds and never wanted them to pay us back because we cared that much, but now we do not have any such extra funds for anything.  We have also did not know that we would end up in the situation that we ended up in now.  We had no idea that we would end up with that Severe Bed Bug Infestation and that all of our Furniture and everything that we own would get destroyed from the Bed Bug Feces.  We also did not know that my husband was Highly Allergic to those Bed Bugs at that time or even Highly Allergic to the Bed Bug Feces that are all over our Furniture, and everything that we own that was destroyed.  My husband is breathing in those Bed Bug Feces and causing him a lot of health issues and on top of that having many more seizures than usual and yet his condition is Life-Threatening and can Kill him.  We also did not know that EIA (Employment Income Assistance) would refuse a benefit increase that they were suppose to give us over 2 years ago, and I have also contacted the EIA Head Office here in Winnipeg, Manitoba and they repeatedly (every single time that I have contacted them) told me that there are absolutely no plans in the near future at all in increasing our Basic Needs whatsoever.  We are the only province here in Canada that never had an increase in our Basic Needs in 15 years.  So don't you think that it should be our turn to get that help that we need and in Great Dire Need to raise those said funds that we are in Great Dire Need to raise here in our GoFundMe Fundraiser and have that much needed Miracle that we need and raise those much needed funds.   I do think that we deserve that Miracle from God, as we have done so much for many people that we knew in the past, when at that time we were able to, but not now.  We now need that kind of help and we are entitled to it as we are in that much need here right now.  So I absolutely have a very good reason why I feel the way I do.  So we do definitely Need to Succeed in this Fundraiser of Ours. We do.   Please also continue reading the rest of Our Story, as everything else that you need to know is all below.  Thank you.

Here is some info. that I found about Bed Bugs and their Feces, of which causes Respiratory Problems in people who are Highly Allergic like my husband. 

"Respiratory Problems If you or a member of your household suffers from respiratory problems, the presence of Bed Bugs can worsen these conditions. Bed Bugs shed their outer skins, or casings, as they grow. These casings, along with the Bed Bugs' Feces, can dry out and become airborne. The Rhode Island Department of Health warns that breathing the cast-off material from Bed Bugs can aggravate asthma and other respiratory ailments." These are the signs and symptoms of a disease called Chagas disease, Acute-phase symptoms of swelling and/or redness at the skin infection site (termed Chagoma), rash, swollen lymph nodes, fever, head and body aches, fatigue, nausea, vomiting and/or diarrhea, liver and/or spleen enlargement, and the Romaña sign. My husband had swelling and redness at the skin infection site (termed Chagoma), rash, fatigue and body aches. My husband then had our Doctor prescribe him an Antibiotic, Oral Medication for Pain and Itching, an Antihistamine (for the Allergy) and an Ointment for the Bed Bug Bites and Skin Infection that he had on his legs from the Bed Bug Bites as you will see in the photos below in our updates. Here is a link with some info. on Chagas Disease and what the Bites, Welts and the Feces from the Bed Bugs can cause in people who are Highly Allergic like my husband. See all the info. in this link here below.

I have put some photos in my updates below of all of our Furniture, our Bedding and Pillows, of which has Bed Bugs Feces and Blood from the Bed Bugs and it can not be washed out. They are all Totally Destroyed. We can't live with our Furniture like that. Please we do not know what else to do. We really are in Great Dire Need to raise those Funds to replace all of our Destroyed Furniture, as it is Not Healthy for my husband. As I stated above he is Highly Allergic to the Bed Bug Feces on all of our Furniture and he was taking that Antihistamine for the Allergy from the Bed Bugs Bites that he had and their Feces that is all over Our Furniture and he can not take those types of Meds. as it was Interacting with his Epilepsy Meds. causing him Severe Seizure Activity several times a week leading to complete Grand Mal Seizures, of which had put him in the Hospital, so he had to stop taking those Meds. So we really are in Great Dire Need to raise those Funds. We have No Money at all to be able to replace Our Furniture, Bedding and for all of our Other Causes. Most especially our Beds (Mattresses, Box Springs, Headboards and our Bed Frames), Dressers and all of our Pillows and Bedding, our Couch and Love Seat, everything has been Destroyed in the Infestation. All those Funds that we need to raise is for Much Much More than just to replace all of Our Furniture and Bedding that was Destroyed. I have some photos of all of our Destroyed Furniture and all of our Bedding in the updates below. 

If you don't believe me that my husband has Epilepsy with Non-Convulsive Status Epilepticus and that he can not live in the Conditions of his bed and all of our Furniture being Destroyed by the Bed Bug Infestation that we had. You will also see photos of the Bed Bug Bites and Welts that my husband had on his Upper and Lower Legs in the updates below. You will also see photos of my husband’s Epilepsy Meds. and the Lorazepam SL (Ativan SL) that he also has to take for his Non-Convulsive Status Epilepticus in our updates below, as well. There is also video links below of my husband having Seizures. He is having More Seizures now then ever. You will see the video links below and I have received his permission to make videos of him having Seizures. Sorry I had to stop the video where it ended as I had to tend to him, and to see if he'd recover from his Seizure. I worry about my husband so much and I want to be able to help him as much as I can. We really don't like having to do this, but we have No Other Choice.

I also have a photo of our bathroom wall of which is a hole in the wall from a Seizure that my husband had when he was in the bathroom (see that photo in the updates below). He was lucky that I was able to get into the bathroom and that the door was unlocked. With my husband's Medical Condition and when he is in the bathroom I have recommended to him that he never locks the bathroom door for that very reason. In that photo is the hole that my husband made in the bathroom wall when he fell during a Grand Mal Seizure. He also had a Seizure in the bathroom once before this one. As you can see we are in the process of repairing that hole. 

My husband also suffers a lot of Sleep Deprivation and he didn't just suffer from it when we had the Bed Bug Infestation, he had it worse during that time and suffered way too many Grand Mal Seizures. He suffers from it all the time also because he needs to replace his Mattress and he needs a Box Spring, as he doesn't have one. As his last Bed that he had did not require one and was Destroyed by the Bed Bug Feces and we had to replace his last bed due to it also being broken by MHA Pest Control and now his New bed since he had to replace it right away as my husband could not sleep on the floor due to a Severe Back Injury and now that Bed of his is Destroyed by the Bed Bug Feces and has to be replaced again. His Mattress is also worn out as the warranty has also expired as well and so has all of our Mattresses and mine and my son's Box Springs and they are all Destroyed by Bed Bug Feces (as you will see in all of the photos below in our updates) and we absolutely have no such Funds to replace them. So we do indeed need Our Fundraiser to Succeed. See the link below of how dangerous Sleep Deprivation can be, most especially in my husband's case, as Sleep Deprivation is much more Dangerous in people who have Epilepsy with either one of the 2 forms of Status Epilepticus like in my husband's case.

We are also in Great Dire Need to raise Additional Funds for Other Living Expenses and for more Healthy Foods for my husband. I am a Stay At Home Wife and Caregiver to my husband. He needs me here 24/7, as he can not be alone. My husband again, gets Very Emotional and will not have anyone else but me to take care of him. Please respect that. My husband is my Main Priority, so I can not work and I am also on Disability.  Being at home here with my husband is my Job and my Main Priority. That’s my job.  I am here where I am suppose to be with my husband trying to do what I am suppose to do for him.  We can not get Secondhand or anything Used for Furniture of any kind. As it was a Bed Bug Infestation that I am talking about here. A Bed Bug Infestation. I also need to raise Funds for a Good Reliable Used Car. As with Our Situation we can not be just raising just enough Funds in Our Fundraiser here “until we get back on our feet”, as someone has already told me that and I am sure most of you would probably tell me too. There is “No”, Raising Enough Funds “until we get back on our feet” for us. We are Poor and Living In Poverty and since our Severe Bed Bug Infestation, we are in Great Dire Need to have this Fundraiser, and we have been Struggling Pretty Bad since the Summer of 2015, but actually we have been Struggling Pretty Badly long before that, and it is bad enough that when we go Shopping I’d even end up crying in my husband’s arms right there in the Grocery Store and we would end up having to put a lot of the Food back. But, we just couldn't put a Fundraiser like this together at that time, but it then got to the point when we ended up with the Bed Bug Infestation, we just had No Other Choice so we had to put this Fundraiser together. We don't even have any such Savings or Extra Money put away for any other Living Expenses and Emergencies, yet alone not even for any such money for Transportation. The Cost Of Living is getting Higher everyday and we are only able to get enough Healthy Foods that you can not get from food banks and it only lasts us for not even 2 weeks. We can not do Food Banks anymore, as we had a Very Bad Experience with Food Banks as they give out Spoiled, Out Of Date and Rotten Foods and they do not give out Fresh Fruits and Vegetables (of which, my husband needs). We also do not have any such thing as “Food Stamps” here where we live. There is a program that gives people who are in “Need” of Healthier Food, as we received some info. about the program called "Good Food Box", from a nurse at the Hospital. The thing is we still have to pay a fee to receive those Foods and we do not have the Extra Money Per Month to be able get that, I have also found out that, that "Good Food Box" does not deliver. We have to pick up our Food Box and we can not pick up that Food Box, as if we did, we have to take a Bus and we can not carry a Huge Box like that on the Bus and in order for us to pick it up I would need a Good Reliable Used Car to be able to pick that "Food Box” up. The only Transportation that we have is the Transit Bus or we have to walk far distances, and my husband can not keep walking far distances, as he also walks with a cane. We also can not keep walking far distances in the freezing cold winters, like we have been. We do not have any such money for any such Transportation, whatsoever. Our GoFundMe Fundraiser really is Our Last Resort. We really do need to get to Our Goal. I don't have a Car and I only have an Authorized Instruction Driver's License, and of which is not a Full Driver's License. I also will need to get Driving Lessons and get my Full Driver's License and that also costs money, money that we don’t even have and I will need to get a Car and a Used Car costs money too. So we also need to raise Funds for a Good Reliable Used Car (for me), plus Funds for all of Our Other Several Serious Causes including the Funds to replace all of Our Furniture and everything that we own that was Destroyed. We have to walk to all Conveniences (of which most of the Conveniences is a Long Distance from Our Home). We honestly can not keep walking to all Conveniences. We also have another Serious Need, as we live about just a little over block from a Hospital and now that Emergency is closing this year in July 2019 and my husband needs that Emergency, as it is more Convenient for us, as well as, for me, as I do not Drive or have a Car right now. So now we do also need to raise those Funds for that Reliable Used Car. I have to get my Full Driver’s License now in order to get to and from the Hospital Downtown here in Winnipeg (as my husband also has to go to the Health Science Center here in Winnipeg for Routine EEG's for his Epilepsy with Non-Convulsive Status Epilepticus every 2 years) and to get us around, as my husband can not be walking so far anymore, to get to where we need to go (most especially in the Cold Winter Months) and most places here in the area where we live is a far distance to walk. We also have to take a Bus to the Doctors and with even taking the Bus all the time is way too much for my husband's condition as his condition has worsened in the past several years. Now that the Emergency is closing at the Hospital here just down the street from where we live. My husband now has to be taken to the Hospital much farther away from us and I don't have any way of getting there and back and No Funds for any form of Transportation, so now I also need to get my Driver's License and raise those Funds for that Reliable Used Car. I am trying to do my best here to do for my husband that I need to do for him, as well as for myself and my family. That’s my job. My job is here at home with my husband who needs me here. I am here where I am suppose to be with my husband trying to do what I am suppose to do for him. We really do need help here and with me asking for help in this way is the only way I know how. I honestly do not know any other way to tell you all how much we need help. I was told by many to put this Fundraiser together to raise the Much Needed Funds that we need to raise for all of Our Various Serious Causes, including having to also replace everything that we own that was Destroyed. My husband also needs Specific Health Products to help his Medical Condition, as he is having many problems with his Seizure Meds. with all of the Side Effects and having Bad Migraine Headaches all day, everyday and the Seizure Meds. that he has to take is just making his Migraines worse. My husband is also so drugged up all the time, because of all the Seizure Meds. that he has to take including that Ativan SL for the Ongoing Seizure Activity (Status Epilepticus) in his brain. He is having to take way too many Ativan SL’s and with that one Tiny Little Pill, he seems to have to take so many because the Seizure Activity in my husband’s brain a lot of times won’t stop and a lot of those times I have to place that Tiny Pill under his tongue for him, as he shakes so bad he can't give it to himself and that happens a lot. So a lot of times when he has to take so many, he is so drugged up and his Migraine Headaches get worse and he just can’t cope. My husband doesn't seem to have a Life, he needs a Life Free Of Pain and Suffering and I feel for him. He is my husband. If I saw and read a story like mine and my husband’s or any others that I have seen and read. I would give at least $5 or even more if I could, in a heartbeat, if I, we had the money to do so, because that is just who I am and who we are...but unfortunately we can't right now and we, my husband and I definitely would on a Regular Basis when we take care of everything that we are going through and we reach our Fundraiser Goal and are able to do so we both, my husband and I will definitely Give Back and Pay It Forward, most definitely. We will when things start to get better here for us and everything has been taken care of with all of our causes, I will Pay It Forward for all those that are in Great Need, as it is mine and my husband's dream to be able to Give Back, give to Charity and the Needy, but as of right now we are of the Needy and Need Help in this way with our Several Various Serious Causes. My husband can not take anymore High Stress and the Sleep Deprivation that he has due to not being able to sleep because of the Bed Bugs that we had and during the whole time that we had them during the past 3 years and 13 months and over 3 years of the Ongoing Bed Bug Treatments and it is also bad enough with those Ongoing Treatments, my husband was also going through High Stress, Exhaustion and Total Agony. My husband, tried to Commit Suicide, February 2017 by taking all of his Epilepsy Meds., and took 100 pills (it could have been more than 100 pills) when he was Severely Bitten by the Bed Bugs, he had Bed Bug Bites all over his Upper and Lower Legs.  He was in Excruciating Pain and just wanted the Pain to go away, so he told me that he just wanted to die.  He was lucky that he told me and I thought fast about calling 911 and had him rushed to the Hospital and I saved his life.  My husband could have died. If he never told me I would have never had known and he’d be dead right now.  Do any of you understand that?  He actually did not want me to even call for the Ambulance and go to the Hospital, and yet he never even told me about the Bed Bug Bites that he even had.  He never tells me much, if he is not feeling well and I would tell him that he needs to tell me these things so I could get him the Medical Attention that he needs. He would cry to me, like literally cried, because of the Pain that he was in and he told me to leave him alone and I wouldn't do that. I could have lost my husband that day.  I never seen those Bites until he got to the Hospital and he was settled into a Bed. When I finally saw them I couldn't help but gasp, "OMG...Larryy why didn't you tell me and show me why you were in so much pain. I would have gotten you to the Hospital." It was so bad. I thought to myself, my Poor Hubby OMG and I couldn't help but tear up. I wanted to cry for him. Now due to his Suicide Attempt  from his Epilepsy Meds., he can no longer have access to his Meds.  I now have to hide his Epilepsy Meds. and get them for him when his Meds. are due. By us again getting Used Furniture of any kind and posing a Very High Risk of Re-Infesting, my husbands Life-Threatening Medical Condition will get worse if my husband ends up having to go through all of that all over again, it will Kill him. My husband is 62 years old and his Medical Condition is already Worsening because of our Whole Situation here. I put all of Our Causes in one GoFundMe Fundraiser. So I don’t have Multiple Fundraisers going. We have a lot going on here and me also having to worry about everything that is going on and including having to worry a lot about my husband. It’s also bad enough that my husband is going through what he is having to go through and he is also feeling my Stress and Agony with our Whole Situation and Our Great Dire Need to very well raise those said Funds that we so Greatly do Need to Raise. I have tried everything from sending emails to the MLA (The Manitoba Legislative Assembly) and the Politicians and I came to absolutely no success to Our Situation. I have been trying my you know what off for years and to again absolutely no success. We do not know what else to do. We really Need to get to Our Goal. I am also so so worried about my husband it isn't funny anymore. I worry about him day in and day out and thinking that I may one day wake up in the morning and finding my husband dead. We really do not know anywhere else to turn to. This is absolutely our Only Option. Please we have No Other Options or Resources to be able to get the Much Needed Funds that we Need To Raise. I have tried many times and I have written to the MLA, the government etc... and nothing. We live in Canada, in Winnipeg, Manitoba and in Winnipeg we don't have the same entitlement for Funding Options and Resources as the people that live in the States or the other Provinces throughout Canada, as I have tried very hard and this Fundraiser is the Only Option for us and Our Last Resort. We do not know what else to do. We have No Other Choice but to have this Fundraiser and we Need To Raise those said Funds stated here in our Fundraiser very soon. We need to succeed with this Fundraiser and Reach Our Goal. So I do need to get my Full Driver's License and a Good Reliable Used Car very soon, as well. and with my husband’s Medical Condition, and with all of the High Stress that my husband has and all of the Pain and Suffering that he is having to go through because of Our Situation and also what I have been going through with my Anxiety Disorder, and on top of that I also suffer from Osteoarthritis in my left knee, I am also now getting Arthritis in my right knee and in my hands, my Whole Body is even suffering a lot of Pain. I am in pain daily. I too am going through a lot of High Stress because of Our Situation, plus, having to worry a Great Deal about my husband.  Now my husband’s Medical Condition has gotten worse within the past 10 years, as he now has Non-Convulsive Status Epilepticus and ended up worsening even more since Our Severe Bed Bug Infestation that we had. I also don't know how many times I even have to say that we have gotten treated for those so called Bugs and I have been having so many people telling me to get those Bed Bugs Treated.. and again that one person in particular who made those Harassing and Threatening comments here in our GoFundMe Fundraiser telling me that same thing. That person has also stated in his comments for us, my husband and I to go on Other Programs for Benefits, there is not anymore such Benefits out there for us and that we are on Disability, we both are. EIA/EIA for Persons with Disabilities here in Winnipeg, Manitoba where we live does not give us all of the Funding we need even to replace all of our Furniture that was Destroyed in the Bed Bug Infestation that we had or for anything else. We have to get the Rest...Of...The...Funding...On...Our...
Own. That is why I had a Great Dire Need to put this Fundraiser together and that $50,000 that we, my husband and I Need To Raise is absolutely not an excessive amount as I again, as I stated before that, that $50,000 that we are again in Great Dire Need To Raise is for Several...Various...Serious...Causes that I have put into one Fundraiser. It is allowed. We are in Real Great Dire Need to Raise those said Funds. 

We are Living In Poverty here and also Starving and it’s almost as Bad For Us, as it is in some Countries in Africa. We are also a Very Needy Family and we are Most Definitely in Great Dire Need of Help and this GoFundMe Fundraiser of ours is the Only Option and the only way for us to Raise those said Funds. We also have $0 in savings. We will never end up getting any forms of other Funding from anywhere. I have tried Multiple Times. What kind of other Benefits will even give us enough funds that we need to replace all of our Furniture and everything else that was Destroyed and for all of our Many Other Serious Causes, of which, we are in great dire need to raise those said funds. There isn't any other such Benefits for us. None. The only way we are able get the funding that we need is from this GoFundMe Fundraiser of ours and we are in great dire need to raise those said funds. Do you all think that we want to do this. No we don’t. But, we again, do not have a choice and understand that...please. I have been crying in my heart every single day. We Deserve Absolute Respect here. I have also had someone tell me that I am just being “Silly”, when I told them that we can not take what we can get Temporarily and Get Better Quality Stuff later. When later and with what? With what money would we have to be able to get Better Quality, More Durable and Lasting Furniture later. No we can’t. We again have no money, nothing and I am definitely not Being Silly. It is the truth. We have nothing. I have also had someone being mean by saying that I had no right to tell people to learn to read and understand what I have written and just to let you know, again, I do have a right to speak up and speak my mind because it seems to me that Our Story and my updates are absolutely not being understood or that most of you just don’t really care about the Needy and people who suffer from Life-Threatening Medical Conditions (like my husband) and who are of the Starving, Living In Below Poverty Conditions, Financially and with what I have written about, what is going on in mine and my Family's Life and with Our Situation and what we are going through and in Such Great Dire Need that we have to again raise those said Funds here in Our Fundraiser here. So I most definitely do have a right to speak my mind and tell you all what is going on and that we are in Great Dire Need here and to learn to read and understand Our Situation. I have also had many FB Friends of mine and FB Friends of mine and my husband’s that have cared enough to give us that Small Cash Donation of whatever they were able to afford and they have never said anything, they all just gave us that Small Cash Donation and they were Very Caring after they gave us a Small Cash Donation and told me that they wish that they could give more and for us to be Blessed and they Hope and Pray that we receive all the Funds that we need for Our Situation and all of our Causes. One of my FB Friends have also told me that we have a Big God and we will be Blessed and another one of my FB Friends have also told me that God would Answer Our Prayers by us receiving the Funds that we need to raise in this Fundraiser when “we are at the end of our Rope” and we have actually been, “at the end of our Rope” for a very long time, as a matter of fact for years. Then the Bed Bug Infestation happened and I had absolutely No Choice but to put this much needed Fundraiser together. If my husband and I had money we would also give to the Needy if they were in a situation like us with no questions asked and I would definitely not say anything Rude, Cruel, Disrespectful or Mean like most of them have. We are human too and have feelings and we are Suffering and in Great Dire Need of your help and are in Great Dire Need to raise those said Funds. I am very upset, very hurt and we have been put down enough. I am also sorry for how long Our Story is, but I really need to get all of this off my Chest. There has been many of you who have cared about what we are going through and never made any such Rude, Cruel, Disrespectful comments or put us and our GoFundMe Fundraiser down and gave us a Small Cash Donation and to those who also cared enough but couldn’t afford a Small Cash Donation at least said so nicely and stated that they will share our link and will continue to share our link in hoping that we receive those Cash Donations that we Need and Reach Our Much Needed Goal. They have also told me that they will all Pray For Us and Blessed Us and Wished Us Well. So please don’t get mad at me. We, me, my husband and my son have been through enough. 

Then, when we got Infested with those Bed Bugs, as of October 2015, all of our Furniture and everything that we own has been Destroyed by that Bed Bug Infestation and we need to replace all of our Furniture, Bedding, Pillows and everything that we own that was all Destroyed. We have to replace all of our Furniture and everything. We also have many Other Causes as well. So with that we are also in Great Dire Need to also Raise Funds for Emergency Funds as well (that would stay in the Bank if we Need It and we most very likely would as we have $0 in savings). We can not bring Used Furniture in the Housing where we live. We can pose a Very High Risk of Re-Infesting our home with the Bed Bugs all over again, as there are a lot of Bed Bug Infestations here all over Our City. If we Re-Infest our Home we will have to Pay For The Next Series Of Treatments or get Kicked Out of Our Home and on the street and with my husband’s Life-Threatening Medical Condition, it can not be done. My husband absolutely can not take anymore Stress, of which. he already has or his Medical Condition can Kill Him. He is having way too many Seizures already with the Stress that he has already and having even more Stress by having to worry about the Funds that we are in Great Dire Need to raise for all of our Various Serious Causes will Kill my husband. My husband can Die from his Condition, if he ends up having more Stress than he already has, do any of you understand that? We have to replace all of our Furniture with Brand New. That is just the way it is with Bed Bug Infestations, as you can pose a Very High Risk of Re-Infesting by getting Secondhand or Used Furniture. We can’t do that where we live. Bed Bug Infestations are indeed much worse then a Fire or Flood because with a Fire or Flood you can take the Risk of getting Secondhand or Used Furniture because there was not a Bed Bug Infestation. We had a Bed Bug Infestation. Do any of you understand that? We can not afford to get Secondhand or Used Furniture, as I stated above and I have also stated why above as well.

There has also been some of our other FB Friends who wanted answers from me and then when I go and give them the answers that they wanted, they go and either ignore those answers, or they unfriend me and/or block me. They want answers, I gave them the answers and they go and again, ignore those answers or they go and unfriend me and/or block me. Why?, I may ask and I think I do know exactly why because they don’t want to hear the answer and they know that I am right or they just really don’t care what we are going through and they just want to be right. I am just saying that about those who didn’t care about the answers that they wanted etc...I am not saying that to those who do care. The ones I am saying that to should know who they are and what they did was wrong. If any of you are also thinking that we already have that amount that we already raised in Our Fundraiser here and you are probably wanting to tell me that we have at least that for our washer at least that broke down several months ago. Well that amount is already gone towards some of our causes (long before our washer even broke down), for Food and Transportation, as that is also what we are raising all of those funds for, not just for all the Furniture and everything else that needs to be replaced from being Destroyed and for all of our many other Various Serious Causes. Also in regards to how people are telling me that they do not believe our situation and putting Lies In My Mouth that I am Lying about Our Situation. A lot of people have the Nerve to tell me that I am Lying about Our Situation. I am Absolutely Not Lying about Anything, Absolutely Not. Look at all of Our Photos that are in our updates below. Photos and the Videos that l have taken myself do not Lie and Neither Do I. And, having to walk all the way to the Bank and Shopping in a Snow Storm that we had in December 2018 and also having to walk almost over 2 miles in -51 below Wind Chill all the way to the Bank and Shopping on January 29th, is bad enough most especially for my husband having to walk with a cane in that kind of Weather and with being an Epileptic, is absolutely Not Safe for him as he has even had Seizures outside. 

We are going through way way too much and my husband hasn’t been doing well. It’s bad enough that I have to worry about him and on top of that worrying about Our Situation. I am so scared. Most especially my husband who can Die from his Medical Condition. I am also trying to do something good for my husband not just for me and my son, but for my husband and I am allowed to do that. We are definitely in Great Dire Need here. Our situation is Real, it’s all true and we are in Great Dire Need of your Help. I don’t know what some people do not understand about Our Situation. I know that there are several of you that do understand...but there are many out there who are not and they are not having any such Respect For Us. I have said so many times already that we are on Disability and we are Not Entitled to anymore such Benefits. Is the Benefits that we, my husband and I receive going to Refurnish Our Whole House with New Furniture that we have to purchase because everything that we own was Destroyed...No, it will Not. We only receive what we receive on our Benefits to live on and we barely receive any such Funds as it is. What ever Benefit Amounts we receive from EIA/EIA for Persons with Disabilities, is all that we get and no More. Everything that you need to know is all here. I haven’t left anything out. I also don’t know how many times that I have to say that. I am also trying to do my best here to do for my husband that I need to do for him, as well as for myself and my son. We really do need help here and with me asking for help in this way is the only way I know how. I honestly do not know any other way to tell you all how much we need help. I was told by many to put this Fundraiser together to raise the Much Needed Funds that we are in Great Dire Need to raise. We were even told by our worker when she was here at our home for a home visit to have a Fundraiser like this one to raise any additional funding that we need, as our worker and EIA/EIA for Persons with Disabilities, here in Winnipeg, Manitoba expects us to get any additional funds from friends and family, as they will not give us any other additional funding for anything else only what they give us already and no more, plus we do not have any Family to be able to get any additional funds from anymore.  My husband does indeed have a Life-Threatening Medical Condition. My husband is an Epileptic with Non-Convulsive Status Epilepticus and isn't doing well. I have also been accused of being a Sinner.  Excuse Me?  It is not a Sin when you are in Need or Poor and are going through a Tragic Time Of Need and having to put this GoFundMe Fundrasier together to raise much needed Funds for Various Serious Causes. It's not our fault that we were Infested with Bed Bugs. When it comes to Bed Bug Infestations they are Very Brutal and Very Very Serious and you can not Risk getting Used Furniture as there has been a Huge Number Of Cases of Bed Bug Infestations going around in our City, Province, all over Canada, the States and all over the World. There has even been a Bed Bug found on a plane as it was all over the news and that there has been again a Huge Number Of Cases of Bed Bug Infestations all over and they can not be taken lightly. Bed Bug Infestations are Very Serious and most especially Very Dangerous for many people who have Serious Medical Conditions like my husband does. People with Epilepsy with Status Epilepticus can die from this Condition most especially if they are Sleep Deprived and my husband is and he is having way too many Seizures then usual and taking way too many Ativan SL's to stop the Ongoing Seizure Activity in his brain on a Daily Basis. This GoFundMe Fundraiser of ours is Serious and again can not be taken lightly or with any such Disrespect. As we do definitely need to raise $50,000 for all of our Various Serious Causes. We have no other choice in this matter but to have this Fundraiser, as it is indeed Our Only Option and Our Last Resort and it is allowed. Me, my husband and my son have been through enough.  We are human too and have feelings.  We really do not have any other choice and with what we are going through for a while now, we do deserve some Respect. I am sorry but we really have been through enough. I have many updates and photos below in our updates. With us being in such Great Dire Need, Poor, and in Very Much Need to raise those Much Needed Funds by putting this Fundraiser together and asking for Much Needed Serious Help is again, absolutely not a Sin. We are in Need and in Serious Need and asking for help like this is not a Sin, either. They have these Fundraiser sites for a reason. With us living in Canada, and we live in Winnipeg, Manitoba and in Winnipeg, we do not have the resources and other options for additional funding like those who live in the States or the other provinces here in Canada and that makes this GoFundMe Fundraiser of ours is, Our Only Option.  If we, my husband and I had money I would make a small cash donation to anyone who are in Great Need To Raise Funds for any such causes, with no questions asked. If my husband and I actually had money we would definitely take the Liberty in Donating to Charities, the Poor, the Sick, the Starving and the Struggling and those that are Suffering Tragic Events like me, my husband and my son and are in Great Dire Need to have this Fundraiser going like we do and we, my husband and I would donate on an on going Regular Monthly Basis, if we had money, but we don't.  So I really do hope that I have made my point clear to you all and that Our Situation is Very Serious and needs to be dealt with asap and that we need to raise the much needed funds that is located here in our Fundraiser so we can replace everything that we own that was Destroyed and all of Our Other Much Needed Causes. 

We Really Do Need To Reach Our Fundraiser Goal...and actually as you can see here in Our Story and what you will all see in our updates that we really do very well Need To Raise that $50,000, and, of which, is why Our Goal Amount is $50,000.  I just can't understand why nobody who has seen and read through Our Story here do not seem to understand the Severity Of Our Cause and our Other Causes. This is very bad and can not be taken lightly. It is all written out here in Our Story and all of our updates for you to all clearly understand why we Need To Raise that $50,000, and it is so easy to understand and nobody who has read Our Story and all of our updates do not seem to understand any of It, as it clearly states what that $50,000 would be used for throughout Our Whole Story. I never left anything out. But nobody seems to want to understand what I have stated here and in all of our updates, either, because they do not care and possibly just want to care about themselves. Have some Respect...Please. All of Our Causes here in our Fundraiser are all Very Serious and Bed Bug Infestations are Very Brutal. Understand the Severity Of Our Situation. It's not good believe me, it’s not and again I repeat, can not to be taken lightly. So that $50,000 is exactly what we do Need To Raise for all of our Various Serious Causes put together. You also have to realize that we, me and my Family live in Canada and I even had a FB Friend tell me that the people that live in the States and other parts of the World don't seem to realize the products and items here in Canada are a lot more Expensive even at Sale Price here in Canada, so the cost of all the Furniture, Bedding and Pillows and the Funds that me and my Family are in Great Dire Need to Raise here in Our Fundraiser will all at up to that $50,000. We also have absolutely No Other Choice but to have this Fundraiser, this Fundraiser is Our Only Option. I have also had someone tell me that I am Neglecting my husband, Excuse Me, I absolutely am Not Neglecting my husband. Absolutely Not. We are really going through a lot here and we really do not know what else to do. We don't.  This is our only way of receiving the kind of help that we need by having this Fundraiser that I had to put together...we do not have any other Choice. We really do need to Raise Those Much Needed Funds. We have No One Else to get those Funds from. No One. We, me. my husband and my son, do Need Your Help. We, absolutely do not need any such Disrespect from anyone...please. We need Total Respect here from all who do care about what people like us are having to go through. Do any of you really think that we want to do this??? ...No, Absolutely Not, but we do not have a Choice. We really are going through a lot here. Our Situation is really really bad. Helping one person might not change the World...but it would change the World for Me and My Family. I have also had many of mine, mine and my husband's FB Friends put Us and Our Situation Down and people shouldn't go around putting someone down when those other people are Not Walking In Our Shoes, as one of these days you may be In Great Need like me, my husband and my son. 

Our Washer has now completely broke down and now won’t work at all and we are now having to wash our clothes in our kitchen sink, as you will see some photos of that below in our updates. Our Deep Freezer has also now broke down several months ago. Now we also have to Raise Funds for a Washer and a Deep Freezer. 

And, now according to the News on December 4th, 2018 and in the link I provided below, the Cost Of Food is going to increase this year 2019 across Canada and with that we will more likely Die Due To Starvation. Which means, as of this year 2019, we are going to Starve for sure. It’s bad enough that we can only purchase enough Food and Healthy Food, for that matter, that is suppose to last us a month only lasts us just under 2 weeks and this year we are only able to purchase enough Food and Healthy Foods that will only last us just over a week. Which means our GoFundMe Fundraiser has to succeed and we reach our Fundraiser goal as soon as possible.

So I really feel the need to tell you all what is going on and why we are in such Great Dire Need to raise those said Funds, it’s not just having to raise those Funds to replace all of Our Furniture and everything that we own that was Destroyed. It’s all for much more than that. Everything that you all need to know is all located here in Our Story. I also have updates and some photos below, that I have already mentioned above here in our Fundraiser. And as I mentioned before that I am very sorry, we really don’t like having to do this...really we don’t, but we have No Other Choice. We really need Our Fundraiser to succeed. When we do receive what little money that we do receive on our EIA Disability Benefit and we have to walk all the way to the Bank and all the way to the Grocery Store during the Spring, Summer, Fall and even in the Winter Months in all of the Snow.  We also had a Snow Storm this past winter and we had to walk all the way to the Bank and Shopping in that Storm. It felt like I was going to have a Heart Attack that day and my husband can’t walk in that kind of weather all that way and having to walk with a cane and with him also having Epilepsy with Non-Convulsive Status Epilepticus and having to walk that Far of a Distance in that kind of weather all the time. It’s absolutely not safe for my husband. It’s like that every Winter. We have to walk everywhere that we need to go. We do not have any such Funds For Transportation to get ourselves anywhere. My husband also had a Grand Mal Seizure on the way to the store last Summer 2018.  I even have to cancel our Doctor Appointments several times because we had no money for the Bus to get us there.  We are always Completely Out Of Money from going Grocery Shopping within a week after the start of each and every single month.

My family and I are in Real Great Dire Need Of Your Help. My husband has had a Severe Allergic Reaction to the Bed Bugs and their Feces and the Bed Bug Feces are all over his bed, and it's all over mine and my son's beds and all of our other Furniture is Completely Destroyed. We also need to replace all of our Pillows, and all of our Bedding, of which, are all ruined from Bed Bug Feces and Blood and it can not wash out. We also looked over our Love Seat and Couch and they are also Full Of Bed Bug Feces. We can not take or get Used Furniture from just anyone as nobody can trust Used Furniture, as they can also be Infested with Bed Bugs and we will end up Re-Infesting our home with the Bed Bugs all over again and we can not take that chance. If that was to happen we will most definitely get our Tenancy Terminated in our Low Income Housing Unit and we will get Kicked Out as we have already received a warning that we will be Kicked Out of Our Home. So we can not afford to get Used Furniture and Risk getting Re-Infested and if we were able to get Used Furniture we still are in Great Dire Need To Raise those Funds to even purchase that...but unfortunately we can not take that Risk. As there has been many Bed Bug Infestations reported here in Winnipeg where we Live. So we have to replace our Furniture with Brand New Furniture. Unless we had Family or Relatives to get the Used Furniture from if they had any to give us and that Used Furniture would more than likely not be Bed Bug Infested, but we do not. We can not live with the Furniture that we have that was completely Destroyed most especially my husband as his condition is getting worse. This is a Last Resort for me and my family.   If you have at least a Little Remorse in your Hearts for us please send us a Small Cash Donation so we can replace all of our Furniture due to it all being Destroyed, plus to help out with Living Expenses and Emergencies. The Cost Of Living is getting Higher everyday as we have Nothing to Fall Back on for Emergencies as we do not have any such Savings put away whatsoever. As with my husband's Medical Condition, he needs much Healthier Foods to eat per month.  With the Kindness In Your Hearts Please Help Us with a Small Cash Donation so we can Reach Our Much Needed Goal and to be able to have some Emergency Funding available so we could also have enough Healthier Foods to eat Per Month. 

My husband and I are also in Very Much Need for New Eye Glasses. We are both in desperate need to get our Eyes Checked and Need New Prescription Eye Glasses as we were not able to go get our Eyes Checked for over 5 years now and our eye sight has really been getting bad for a while now. My eyes are now so bad that I have to use a Magnifying Glass to even read small print. EIA/EIA for Persons with Disabilities here in Winnipeg, Manitoba only pays a Small Percentage Amount (%) towards Prescription Eye Glasses and the Frames, and we have to pay the remaining. The last time we were even able to get our Eyes Checked of with again was over 5 years ago. I had to pay an additional $138 out of my own pocket at that time, and at that time I did have just a little extra money, but now we do not, now we will have to pay more out of pocket for our Prescription Eye Glasses, as the Strength of our New Prescription Eye Glasses will need to be stronger and the stronger Prescription Eye Glasses are the more expensive they will be and EIA/EIA for Persons with Disabilities does not pay for the whole cost for Prescription Eye Glasses.  That is also another reason why we have a Great Dire Need to put this Fundraiser together and we have Several Serious Causes.

We have also received a comment here in Our Fundraiser from a person who also went through a Bed Bug Infestation and she is absolutely correct about them. Although she has never had them as bad as we did and again she is absolutely correct. My husband had Suffered Sleep Deprivation due to those so called Bed Bugs, of which, were keeping him up at night and biting him.  He had ended up with an Infection, so our Doctor prescribed him that Ointment for the Bites, an Antibiotic for the Infection, Meds. for Pain and Itching and a Antihistamine, of which he couldn't take, as it Interacted with his Epilepsy Meds. and caused him even more Seizures. I also have here in Our Fundraiser some Videos with my husband having Seizures. Sleep Deprivation is absolutely Dangerous for people who have this Type of Condition. So we are in Great Dire Need of a Miracle from God and his Angels so we need to get to our goal by raising the funds from this Fundraiser so we can throw out our Destroyed Furniture and all of our Bedding and for our Various Other Causes, that I have also stated here in Our Fundraiser. So it would be a Miracle from God and his Angels if you could please help us with a small cash donation and share Our Fundraiser Link with family and friends that you know who could also help us out with a Small Cash Donation so we Can Reach Our Goal.   We need that Miracle. We need all the help we can get and a Miracle to happen from God for us. We really need this Fundraiser to be successful, with us also struggling so bad with the cost of living being so high and getting higher each day. My family and I are Living in Poverty and it just seems to be Getting Worse not better for us. So please help and make a Small Cash Donation so we can replace all of our Furniture that has been Destroyed as we have to replace all of our Furniture as soon as possible. Doesn’t anyone care what we, my family and I and most especially my husband have had to go through. And the fact that I had to put this GoFundMe Fundraiser together to Raise Much Needed Funds that we are in Great Dire Need To Raise for many Causes. Please..... This is the only way I am able to ask for this kind of help. I am falling apart here. We are in Great Dire Need to have our GoFundMe Fundraiser succeed and we are in Great Dire Need to Reach Our Goal. Please also go through all of my updates posted in our updates. if you haven't already done so. We really are in such Great Dire Need and Need To Raise the said Funds this year 2019. Please answer mine and my husband’s prayers that we succeed with our GoFundMe Fundraiser and we get to our much needed goal this year 2019. My family and I, most especially my husband have prayed for a Miracle that we get to Our Goal. If Miracles do really happen, like really do happen. We, my family and I, most especially my husband need proof of that as we really do need and in Great Dire Need of a Miracle right now. We really are in Great Dire Need here and we really do need your help and our prayers answered. This GoFundMe Fundraiser is really our Only Option and our Last Resort.  Please let us have Our Prayers Answered.

My husband really does have a Life-Threatening Medical Condition...Ok, and we are in Great Dire Need to have this Fundraiser and raise those Much Needed Funds that we are in Great Dire Need to Raise for Various Serious Causes and, of which, we are allowed just like everybody else that are in Great Dire Need to raise Funds for various different causes, as long as there is an absolute real need for raising those said funds and there definitely is. We, me, my husband and my son, have an Absolute Great Dire Need to Raise Those Funds.  We very much deserve absolute respect here...please and people most especially our FB Friends to care about what people like us are going through and very well do need this kind of help in this way. We, me, my husband and my son Deserve Total Respect. There are many people that are in Great Dire Need to Raise Much Needed Funds in Fundraisers like these and are in Great Dire Need to Raise Funds in these specific Fundraiser sites, as that is what they are for.  Then we, me and my husband can raise $50,000 for our Much Needed Causes and we have a Number of Various Serious Causes to raise those said funds. One of our Most Serious Causes in Our Fundraiser, as you already know is that all of our Furniture, all of our Bedding and Pillows were Totally Destroyed in a Bed Bug Infestation that we had. Our home was Very Highly Infested with Bed Bugs and we had to sleep on our Highly Bed Bug Infested Beds and sitting on our Highly Bed Bug Infested Living Room Furniture etc...and with all of the Bed Bug Feces and Blood all over all of our Bedding and Pillows and can not be washed out no matter how much I washed them and with all the washing that I have done to all of our Bedding is wearing out and tearing. They are all Totally Destroyed and a Bed Bug Infestation is just as bad as a Fire or Flood. We have gotten treated for the Bed Bugs for 43 months and they are finally gone after 43 treatments, now we have to throw out everything that we own that is now Completely Destroyed from the Bed Bug Feces and buy all Brand New Furniture. We, me, my husband and my son are human too and we have Feelings and Serious Needs and are of the Very Less Fortunate. What are we Chopped Liver or something!?  We have Serious Needs too and are in Very Much Need to Raise those Funds. 

If any of you care at all...please, and thank you for your time and I do so hope that you put this upon yourselves to take this in to consideration on our part as Our Situation is Very Serious and we are in Great Dire Need here right now and we really need to raise those Funds. Please continue to share our link to those family and friends to help us reach our Much Needed Goal. We still have a long way to go to Reach Our Goal, and Every Small Cash Donation will all Add Up. So, my husband and I, would like to thank all of those who have been caring and respectful enough to understand Our Situation and our Great Dire Need that we have to Raise those said Funds towards our several Various Serious Causes. We also thank those who do know that we are in Great Dire Need to Raise those said Funds and we also thank those who have already gave us that Small Cash Donation and to those who have already done so, please continue to share our link so we can get that help that we so Greatly Need and get to our Much Needed Goal as soon as possible. Every Small Cash Donation will be so Greatly Appreciated and will Help Us Reach Our Much Needed Goal. 

I set up this GoFundMe Fundraiser under Duress, I have no idea of how I can help my family to get what we need since I am not able to leave my husband alone due to his Medical Condition. As, again, he is my Main Priority and my husband gets Very Emotional and will not have anyone else but me to care for him as he had Home Care in the past and they did nothing for him. As he would be dead today if that Home Care continued. It is not easy asking strangers for help, but we are Very Appreciative to any one who feels moved to Donate to our Various Serious Causes.

God Blesses those who help others. I am not asking that you go without, but that you give out of your Abundance.

My husband and I are also in the process of Adopting as we have put in an Application to Adopt about 3 years ago.  As my husband and I have also wanted a family when we first got married and couldn’t have one on our own.  Now that we have been in contact with our Adoption Social Worker.  We now for sure need to succeed in raising those said funds that we are in great dire need to raise to replace all of our Furniture that was Totally Destroyed from that Bed Infestation that we had.  We will be Adopting any time soon and we need our place ready when we bring home our child or sibling group.  So we again have to raise those said funds as we now absolutely can not keep our Destroyed Furniture that has Bed Bug Feces all over it.  So we need to raise those said funds to replace all of our Furniture, I need to also get a reliable car and towards our other serious causes and for any Adoption fees that may need to be paid and to purchase additional necessities for our new family.  It also has been a dream for me and my husband to have that family that we have always wanted together and to call our very own.  It has also been my husband dream to be a Daddy and has wanted that family with me with all of his heart.  My husband has wanted to be a Daddy ever since he was 20 years old and I want to be able to see him a Daddy before he passes on and now we will be able to have that chance to have that family that we have always wanted to have together.  So please help with that small cash donation.  Even as little as $5, $10 or $20 or whatever you can afford as all small cash donations will all add up and help us to reach our much needed goal.  Thank you so much and may God Bless you all abundantly for any small cash donations that you are able to donate to us and help us to reach our much needed goal and to help make our dream come true.  Our dream for us, my husband and I to also finally have that family that we been dreaming of for so long to have and to call our very own.  Our EIA Worker is also helping us in the process of Adopting, so we, my husband and I could have that family that we so greatly dream to have and she wants us to be able to have that family that my husband and I want to have together.  I have posted photos with sections of our Application to Adopt and a photo of a book that we receive about Adoptions in several new updates below.  

Please everyone, we, my husband and I don’t need trouble. We have been going through a lot here and we have had enough. We are going through way too much to have any trouble. We have also had many people who have been Very Disrespectful and Very Rude towards us and our GoFundMe Fundraiser and that’s the truth. We really do not need it. And, to all of those FB Friends of ours that have made those awful remarks, I am sorry that they all feel that way...but, I am telling the truth about everything. It's all true and I am so very sorry if I may have repeated myself in some parts of Our Story, I just really needed to get my point across and tell the truth about Our Whole Story and Our Situation and please understand.  Thank you.    

Now that you read Our Story, please also read our updates and view our photos located below. Thank you so much for your support in this devastating situation. Thanks again and God Bless.
