About this fundraiser

As a teenager I fell off a 3 story balcony and did some damage and after recovering I went back to work and school in 04 my back was broken at Colinx and I had my 1st surgery in 05 I have artificial discs and a shaved spine. I have had lots of pain, injuries and falls every since then. I was fired whole out on workers comp and this was in my early 20s I'm in the process now of selling back my lifetime medical to workers comp and because of this disability is trying to take my disability. I have 3 Young's sons and my x husband was EXTREMELY ABUSIVE and knocked out my 2 front teeth and slapped our then 2 yr old son as well and hasn't been allowed contact for many years. I have a wonderful and supportive bf who encouraged me to get back in college online and I'm 2 classes away from having my medical billing and coding certification but because of my back injury at the moment I'm unable to control when I go to the bathroom and my bf helps me everyday as I try to get from the shower to the bathroom I fall alot because my legs go numb and I'm in need of another surgery at this time but due to rent going up over $500 we've lost our home and we're staying in between hotels and our van. In my early 20s I was awarded a cash settlement from work comp and I thought everyone was my friend. I spent thousands on kids that weren't going to have a Christmas and this yr we would like to have one of our own in a home we can call ours. If you're willing and able to help please do so and if not kindly share our story so our families can be reunited for the holidays. Thank you for reading and God Bless!
