About this fundraiser

Im making this page in hopes to raise funds for my mom who’s fallen on hard times. My mom is 54, and before being disabled in 2022 worked in Metal Fabrication and was a very hard worker. She was sick one week and after she was seen at an urgent care she was rushed to the hospital with a partially collapsed airway as well as covid/phneumonia. Since then she has been disabled and unable to work, at home using oxygen with excursion. 

Prior to being disabled my mom has always struggled with socialphobia, anxiety and ptsd hindering her from going into public normally and attending family events. She struggles with depression especially with the financial hardships of holidays. After being disabled my mom starting having endless doctor appointments and specialist referrals being diagnosed with many different ailments and diseases as followed;

 Kidney failure stage 3, chronic respiratory failure, type 2 Diabetes, COPD, Asthma, Sleep apnea, hyperparathyroidism, high blood pressure, bulging discs and bone spurs, neuropathy of the hand and feet , and rheumatoid arthritis all making it harder for her to walk even short distances. These conditions all resulted in her to be on 27 different medications. She is awaiting biopsy for possible blood disorder and two surgeries scheduled for Carpal tunnel syndrome in both of her wrists. 

With living costs rising and living month to month already $1300 gets harder to stretch all the time. It was especially unfortunate when her car broke down this year. She currently relies on others, including myself and my sister, to get to her different appointments, and is ultimately unable to come and go as she pleases to see grandchildren and so forth. We're extremely grateful for any support in our effort of helping her get transportation and ahead of her bills and medical costs.
