Hi. my name is Christina I am 29 years old and the oldest daughter of 5 girls of our mother Melissa 45 yrs of age who is struggling with a lot of health issues that is just getting worse and harder for her to work and provide for her family.  She struggles with breathing issues which is caused by severe asthma, and has become much harder for her to breathe due to a 7 cm possibly bigger now since she was told last that is pushing against her lungs making it much harder for her to breathe properly.  Her stomach is pushed up in the chest area and into part of her esophagus. Her esophagus is making it hard to swallow properly and she chokes a lot on food and drinks. Recently told the esophagus is only at 20% capacity working and 80% not working. She is needing a life saving surgery where they will do a hernia repair and get the hernia off the lungs making it easier to breathe,  they will also be pushing her stomach back down where it needs to be and taking part of her stomach and wrapping it around her esophagus and create a new valve opening to be able to swallow and move food down properly into stomach. She has been trying her hardest to still work with her health conditions, making it much harder now with an occurring  knee fracture and told she also has arthritis in her knee area. but she's still trying her hardest to continue to provide what she can for her family by getting up everyday and going out to do her delivery job. She is needing as much help and prayers as she can get in this time of need. She will not be able to work and is worried about being able to pay bills, medical expenses, and being able to provide for her family while in downtime. We are asking for any generous donation in this time of need for her and her family, and much needed prayers. She is strong but deeply scared  how serious this surgery is really needed to save her life. Much needed prayers and support for her and her family will be much appreciated. From here on out it's all in GOD'S hands and we all know miracles can happen.
