Disabled single mom looking for work needs help
Donation protected
Hello everyone. I am a single mom to an AMAZING young man and I need help! I had 3 failed back surgeries in less than a year starting with the first one on October 5th, 2018, the second one being just 39 days later on November 13th,2018 and the last one (which had to be done on two separate days due to complications) was on August 23,2019 and August 26, 2019. Unfortunately my doctor just couldn’t get it done properly and I’ve SUFFERED the repercussions for the past several years, including developing fibromyalgia and neuropathy. They are also looking into the real possibility that I may have a disease that my mom suffered with for 25+ years called CRPS. And my pain recently got MUCH worse with some other of the SAME symptoms my mom had.
I have been unable or I work for the last several years due to pain in my back, hips and knees, as well as pain and numbness in my hands when I am writing, typing, holding things etc. I applied for disability 3 years ago and recently received my first denial. And while I’m not giving up on it, I also can’t continue to go each month wondering how or if my son and I are going to make it by from one month to the next.
I’ve tried working since my surgery and it is extremely painful and difficult for me, even when I tried working from home it was extremely painful for me due to the way I needed to position myself in order to see the screen and type. The ONLY income I did have has now also been denied so I’m in BIG TROUBLE right now.
The reason for this fundraiser is to help with bills while I TRY and find a job working from home. I’m absolutely DESPERATE right now.
Even though times are tough, I’m grateful to be alive and sober. And I’ve stayed sober through some EXTREMELY hard times, including loosing my mom last year. I don’t like going each month wondering if we’ll get by, more than that I hate having to ask for help. But sometimes you have to swallow your pride and reach out for help like I am now. I may be briefly knocked down but I WILL NOT give up NO MATTER WHAT!
If you can’t donate that’s okay sharing the GoFundMe is JUST as helpful!
