On June 8th my life changed drastically.
My 36yo husband suffered four myocardial infarctions. One is enough to kill you but he survived. His brain was deprived of oxygen for 90 minutes and received severe brain damage prior to that. Thanks to the outstanding work of the medical staff and my husband's will to live, he's still with us. This however is on borrowed time.
Since this tragedy I've been by his side. This takes its toll on me. I've kept continuous contact with the medical staff on the four hospitals he's been admitted to, all while trying to keep my head above surface. I've been told by friends, family (and even my husband's medical teams!) that I MUST take care of myself as well. Otherwise I will crash. But how can I?
As of now, I just don't have the time.
Now, half a year later, things are starting to look up for me. I've gotten a full time job but unfortunately, this won't start until January 1st next year. That means I won't get my paycheck until the end of February. My biggest hurdle right now is money and that's why I am here. The savings I had are now depleted due to hotels and travels to and from the different hospitals. To be able to pay my bills, pay off loans, and feed myself I need to ask of this. I'm stuck in a dire situation right now and my options are limited.
