A lot has changed. A fall can do that. On May 22 I fell and dislocated/broke my shoulder and a neck fracture. A matter of survival now, as there is little I am able to do. MS and balance issues are restrictive. Unable cook, clean, do laundry etc. Even need help to get out of bed. Now, any funds donated are needed for free standing trapeze bar and household help. Any donation, no matter the amount is greatly appreciated.
Options - Hope and pray we have some. Repo on vehicle, behind on everything including our home. Electric due to be shut off. Medical and house repairs destroyed our finances. Add both of my daughter's passing, their father also. My oldest daughter and I bouts with cancer.
Funds needed to help my son and I. My son has a very rare medical condition. It's caused by the combination of two genetic factors. His stomach and a large amount of intestines were removed at the University of Madison Hospital.. He has a very low blood count and constant internal bleeding. He needs certain foods to survive, which are expensive. To see him go from 264 lbs to 100 is devastating. He was 6 ft 5.
Health issues of my own. I have MS and recently went through cancer treatment, again. The above means we need help with household cleaning, travel expenses and caregivers.. Both of us have mobility chairs and restrictions on lifting. A clean house would uplift my days.
Unfortunately, the house has needed repair and still does. Electric and plumbing issues. It isn't a healthy environment. In part, the cause of my oldest child's death a few years ago.
My son is to be admitted to UWH again. We'll both need transport and I'd need a place to stay for a few days .Last time he was there for almost 3 months. I'd like to be near him there. Right now, finances won't allow it. The majority of finances went for house repair. Behind the mortgage also.
I'm feeling like we are on a downward spiral and would appreciate any help given.
Please share this fund raiser as it may help. Thank you!
