ok family and friends, so only a handful of people know what’s going on in our lives right now. For those who don’t I will share with you! July 5th my oldest daughter Katlyn started to get sick we just thought she had a bug virus!? Went to the doctors only for them to say it was a virus. On the morning of July 31st at 7:45am I took her to the ER they ran test found that she had ovarian cyst’s again. They finally discharged her and told her to follow up with a OBGYN. Well after we was discharged I got her back home it was around 12:15pm Not long after I got her home she started to have even more strong abdominal pains, grant you they gave her nothing for her pain prior to the morning ER visit, as her pains grow stronger she had to run to the restroom she bent over in crucial pain! She started having real bad diarrhea it was such a dark green color almost black, after about an hour she had to run back to the restroom. So at this time I tell you it was real bloody mucuses, her whole body had turned Yellow, I didn’t know what to do!? My poor baby was literally in the restroom from about the time we got home all the way till about 6:15pm when I took her back to the ER the same day just night time now. Upon arrival we had a new doctor as the shifts were changing over, we had told him what was done and her diagnosis from that morning, and let him know what was goin on now. He began running test after test and still could not tell us anything. He finally ran one last test on her only for him to tell us that she tested positive colon cancer and that she had blood in her urine. They discharged her 11:11pm that night and told us what we need to do. So we proceed with a follow up with a Gastrologist we went over her medical papers and she will have the colonoscopy surgery at Cleveland Cancer Center this week coming up, we still have to wait on the biopsy to come back to see what we are about to face or what we are dealing with. She also has another appointment with the OBGYN the following week after for surgery on removal of the cysts, and to run test for blood in the urine to determine if she has ovarian cancer or kidney disease. This is all new to us so we are trying to make the best of it. Also my youngest baby only 3 years old. I started noticing something wrong with her eye.! I made an eye appointment for her we went only for us to be sent to an orthopedic specialist. There they ran eye test on her only to find that she has a real bad case of stigmatism in one of her eyes, an a small amount in the other eye, on top of clogged tear ducts. She is set for surgery early week of September at Laser Surgical Center in Palm Beach Gardens. On top of all this going on sense July 5th I have been unemployed sense July 12th! I have been on every hiring website that their is and on website of place of employment an NO leads! i’ve had multiple interviews, but never received a phone call back!! I’m not One to ask for help! I was taught if you don’t have it you don’t need it!! you don’t have money!? you don’t buy it you don’t ask for free handouts!! But as I sit here dealing with this alone it’s taking a mental toll on me, stressed to the max! Wondering how I’m going to pay the light bill, water bill, or look out the window to see if my car as been repoed or not, or the gas money to get my babies to all the appointments and all their surgery that are about to happen, or paying for their Medical Insurance, or prescriptions that they need, one of Katlyn’s alone was 158 and some change cause her insurance did not cover it! they couldn’t even cover it with a pre-authorization letter from the doctors, the baby’s eye glasses she needed insurance didn’t cover them $80.00 and some change later! however the Insurance company had some that they covered. But she had to have a special kind cause of her being so young as she is, insurance only covered 10% of her bill.. So I’m sitting here tonight asking my friends & family for any donations or support that they can offer us at this time!? We’ve all struggle from time to time! But never in my life did I ever expected to hit rock bottom Or be told my babies are sick an need surgery after surgery!! It’s really taken a toll on me and if anybody knows me? they know that I would not be asking for any kind a help or support if I didn’t need it! Also I would like to thank each and every one of my friends & family for any kind of support or donation as it’s very much appreciated!! My mother, my brother, and the baby’s father as helped me so much with what they can, but they themselves can’t help with it all, cause they to have their on bills, and I’m very grateful for the help that they given me so far.. but everything keeps Piling on top of me and has taking a toll on me financially having no income at the time. Right now I only have 300.00 a month that comes in, 50 of that goes for my phone bill to be able to deal with the doctors appointment and setting up for their surgery’s, leaving me with 250.00. but with all the bills, medical, and all the back and forth, with no gas barely I’m beyond drained!! So I ask again for any kind of donation or support? as myself and my family are very thankful for any support we can get at this time thank you... It has also taken a huge toll on my other 2 daughters as well as the see me struggling and dealing with what we are dealing with! me having to tell them no that they can’t go to their high school football game that’s only 3.00 dollars cause I don’t have it! Their friends end up paying for it, that to I’m very thankful for! I hate that I have put my Business out on Social Media! But I really need all the help and support I can get! Hoping and praying that a job will come my way... Again thank you all so much for taking ur time to read this and understanding my situation..
