My children are my whole world, and the last few years have been the hardest battle I’ve ever faced. For two years, I lived in constant fear—endless doctor visits, lab work, test after test—with no answers, only watching my son’s health decline. Finally, we learned he has Addison’s Disease, a rare and life-threatening condition that can cause his organs to shut down without constant medication. Even with treatment, the medications don’t always work the way they should, leaving his body unstable and fragile. He isn’t well enough to attend school, so I’ve had to homeschool him. Most days, he only has a few hours of energy before the exhaustion and symptoms take over. Our lives now revolve around specialists, labs, and doing everything I can to keep him safe.
Because of all this, my ability to work and provide has been devastated. I once had a thriving business, but when I partnered with another company to help keep things stable, they pulled out just one year into what was supposed to be a five-year agreement. That decision left me carrying the full lease and overhead expenses on my own—costs I simply cannot dig out from under. On top of my son’s medical needs, the debt and financial strain have buried me. I’m now months behind on every single bill, every deferment option is gone, and I’ve run out of lifelines. I’ve been applying for full-time jobs for over a year—countless applications and interviews, sometimes four or five rounds with the same company—yet nothing has worked out.
I’m at the point of possibly losing my car, closing my business, and facing bankruptcy. I’ve been fighting every single day, trying everything I can, but I’ve reached a place where I can’t dig out on my own.
I’m asking for help not because I want to, but because I have to—for my son, for our future, and to keep us from losing everything. Any donation will go toward keeping us afloat—paying essential bills, keeping our car, and giving me a chance to keep fighting for my child’s health and stability.
Thank you for reading, sharing, and caring. Your support means more than I can ever express.
