I am single mother of three children ages 11, 9 and 1. I have a full time career that I've worked hard to achieve success. I am newly divorced from a man who is bi-polar and left us in severe debt because of his illness. When my 1 year old son was 3 weeks old, I was diagnosed with benign brain tumors that I had to have surgically removed. Because of that surgery I was off of work for 3 months. I am now having to pay for medication to keep me from having seizures. I also had a kidney transplant when I was 15 years old and because of the medication I had to take for that had to have a total hip replacement 3 years ago because of the damage the medication did to my joints.
I find myself with several thousands of dollars in medical and credit card bills due to a period of no income. I am trying desperately to raise my children but keep hitting obstacles when I don't have enough money to pay for the electricity and it gets shut off or when I'm needing to buy baby formula and diapers and I have to sell my jewelry and other items to pay for food.
I am in great need of assistance to pay for my medical bills as well as every day living expenses to keep my children and myself fed, clothed and housed.
