Since I moved to Jacksonville, I've been working on my bookkeeping certification and getting my notary public. Florida laws are so much different than Georgia.
So, everyone tells me I'm a miracle and should be happy to be alive. I am happy, but no one understands the financial burden that it entails. I've downgraded housing expenses. So yay for that! I've picked up small bookkeeping jobs here and there, but I can't seem to get out of debt.
My dad and friends used to throw me fundraisers. The last one was 2018. He sadly passed away in 2021. I can't even write a out it without getting emotional.
Anyway, I somehow acquired a slap tear in my shoulder. So, now I've added another profession and set of imaging too my ever growing list of expenses. My orthopedic surgeon ordered ultrasound guided shots for the pain. It doesn't work 100%, but I've got moderate disc degeneration throughout c4-c7 (i think, without the paper in front of me).
That has led me to a spine clinic. So, once more, another profession and set of imaging required.
I'm still paying on the stroke I had in 2020. So now, along with my regular 3 month cancer scans, I've added on two more doctors.
Social Security disability pays $2,000 a month. I can't even pay rent with that. I know so many of you have helped before, and I hate to ask for help again. Right now my credit card debt is almost maxed out b/c of copays. I've applied for assistance but was rejected for making too much money. HOW???
All I do is stress about money now, to the point I can't even enjoy life. I can't plan for a future because I'm in so much debt. I started a GoFundMe for myself, which is super lame. But I need help. I can't pay for the doctors, scans, meds, utilities, rent, car, insurance, etc. If I pay my credit cards down, I'll be able to pay for my care. But lately, I've been very discouraged. I'm worth more dead than alive.
So, if any of you reading this can spare anything, I would be eternally grateful. I am, without a doubt, so very blessed I've been going 11 years. But I've had 5 strokes and we still don't know why. I know the stress of being a step away from nothingness is part of it.
I just wanted to let you all know, by the Grace of God, I'm still here. I'm getting tired a lot more lately and sleeping a lot more. I know a lot is stress, but I can barely even write this. I'm so tired.....
Please help me continue to live and not have the added financial burden that is drowning me. If you can't donate, please pray for me and share the fundraiser.
I just want you all to know, I'm not giving up. I have faith that God will make a way for me to continue going. My work here isn't finished. God bless you all, and once again, I'm so sorry to ask and can even do something for you if you need. Just ask.
I can do all things through Christ. We just found a new church to attend here in Jacksonville. It's about the only time I get dressed up. lol. Here are some pics.
And as for my sweet daughter, she made the volleyball club team at GA Southern. She loves it and is having so much fun I rarely see her or talk to her. But that's ok, she's surrounded herself with really good friends who go to church with her. She will be a counselor this summer at Camp Connect on St. Simons so google and sign up if you want your little ones there.
This cancer saved us both. We talked about it and want to both be baptized again. I could not be more proud as a mother. She has dedicated her life to Christ.
Anyway, the site is on this link below. Any amount helps. And please share. Of course I need to add some recent pics!
