My name is Lynda and I am a single, disabled mom with a spinal injury and bedridden from a car accident. I only get out of bed to go to the bathroom, bathe and doctor appointments. I have no husband, boyfriend or any family at all anywhere except for my 2 children, who have to take care of me. This is not the way it's supposed to be, my children taking care of me, but we have no choice. It's very hard on my daughter as she is only 10 now. I had a boyfriend when this all happened to me, but he left us saying, he was sorry, but just could not spend his life with a cripple. I tried many times to call him after he left us, begging for his help, and he actually had a warrant taken out on me for annoying phone calls to keep me from calling anymore, as he did not want to be bothered with the problem. He even told me, it's not his problem. He just turned his head and acts like I never existed! I sure do hope there is such a thing as karma! Anyway, my children and I have been living in hell since my accident. My children have to help me to the bathroom, help wash me, help dress me, do all of the housework. My son has to run all the errands, including grocery shopping, getting me to my doctor visits, etc. My son quit school last year because he had to stay home and take care of me. He went back this semester trying hard to finish so he can graduate, but he has had to miss a lot of school to help me. I do not even know where to begin about our financial nightmare. I was obviously elgiable for disability, but it is only $670.00 a month! Try living off of that for 3 people! I can't pay the monthly bills off of that! My house payment and utilities are about $850.00 a month and thats still not including food, car insurance, household needs, gas, etc. But, we have worse problems going on than that even! We live out in the country and as I said, we have no family at all. I have no idea where the kids dad is to even beg for his help. The couple of friends I did have have moved away. So, I have not a soul to help us! We have to have a car for many reasons. The main one being I am on a lot of medications for pain for my spinal injury. I am on morphine, methadone, percacet and firocet to try to control the pain. Plus lyrica and neurotin for the nerve damage. As much pain meds. as I am on, I still stay in a considerable amount of pain. The pain meds. that I am on are narcotics and are not allowed to just be called into a pharmacy by a doctor. They have to be manually picked up every month by me or a designated representative (my son) who must sign for the prescriptions. Well, my son was driving the car and doing the picking up of my prescriptions every month, even though the car had no brakes, no heat, idler arm was bad and the front end was shot which makes it almost impossible to steer. But now we are stuck and can not get to even the nearest grocery store, let alone my doctor who is an hour away, as the engine has now gone in the car! We truly are in a bad situation with no one to help us. I have contacted every organization I can possibly think of, and no one can help us! The car situation is just one of many problems that we have. My roof is about to cave in on us. My son went into the attic at Christmas and said there was water and mold everywhere. My ceilings have brown circles all over them from the water leaking from the attic. My gutters have rotted off of the house completly, along with almost all of the siding on the back of my house and my back deck as well. The whole backside of my house is laying in my yard! The house has many, many more things wrong with it, but those are my main concerns. And needless to say, there is not a penny to go toward fixing my car or fixing the house. We do not have enough money each month to have enough food to eat. I have called organizations like habitat for humanity, to assist with fixing the house and they tell me that they can not help as I am not in the designated area that they are assisting. I have called the red cross, and they tell me I am not elgible for assistance from them as they only help with persons who are made homeless from like a fire or flood. I called the salvation army and they tell me they only assist with paying like a utility bill. So, I tell them, well I do need help with my electric bill as I can't pay that and its now 2 months behind, and they tell me they are out of funds! I have called everywhere possible, trust me! I do not know what else to do now, except for this. I would never have thought my life would wind up like this. I always worked, and worked hard, and provided my kids a pretty decent life. But, now I can not even afford food, or pay an electric bill, or buy a present for my daughters birthday. I am begging whoever reads this, please if you are able to donate anything at all, to please do so! I am way behind in my house payment also, and I can not afford to lose even this falling down house. I have been here about 22 years, so needless to say, my house payment is not huge. If we lose the house, we would surely be homeless as I could not afford anything more than what I am paying now. I actually could not find anywhere cheaper than what I am paying now. The house payment is not so bad since I bought it 22 years ago. But, trying to pay my small house payment is still a struggle. Plus, what would I do being homeless? I have to stay in bed with my spinal injury. I can not walk as I have severe nerve damage and can not feel my right leg/foot. I do nothing each day but lay in my bed. My son is even the one typing this as I am dictating to him. We are in severe trouble and truly have no one to help us! We need help! Please help if you can. Anyone that is suspicious in the least about my story, please let me know as I can offer as much proof as you need. I have about a foot deep of my medical records, my social security papers, the amount I receive, and I can show proof even with pictures of the horrible shape of my falling apart home! I have prayed and prayed for some sort of miracle, so hopefully someone who reads this can be our miracle! I hate asking for help, as I have always done everything on my own and never wanted to rely on anyone, but I have no choice anymore. I am completly helpless and totally alone. I have never felt more helpless in my life! I cry every day, because this is just no way to live! In bed, in pain, with my children having to do everything and be my caregivers. I took notice the other day, all of my daughters pants have gotten to be so small, that she can not even button any of her pants. She asked me to please buy her some new pants, and I just had to tell her that there was no way possible. I could not buy her anything, I absolutely have no money. It breaks my heart, but what can I do? So, please, if you can help at all, please do so! Once again, if you would like proof of my situation, as I said before, I will be more than happy to send you ANY proof you can think of. I have nothing to hide and truly am telling the truth and have no one to turn to. So, if you are hesitant to help because you feel it may be a scam, please let me know what I can do to show you proof! Please help, you have no idea what a struggle it is to decide what to do with your last 20 dollars. Do I spend it for food, or put it in the gas tank because I have to get to the doctor, drug store, grocery store, etc? Food or gas? You would think its an easy call and say food. But, its not! We live way in the country and I have to have gas to get to the grocery store and to get to my many doctor apts. and to get my meds. I have to get my meds., these are narcotics as I have stated earlier, and I have been on them for a long time now and my body has become "neeed" to them and if I miss taking a dosage now, I can go through withdrawal symptoms and then die! So, its actually a tough call. I hate having to juggle with the choice! But, now we need a car anyway! We now do not even have a way to go pick up my prescriptions (an hour away) and get them filled too! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, we would be so greatful for anything you can do for us! I am beyond desperate! Please help us! I have no one in the world!
I have no family at all, NONE, no husband, no boyfriend, no neighbors, no one but my kids! I can't work ever again, I can barely get out of the bed and get to a bathroom. Please help me and my children. PLEASE! I am desperate for your help! I beg for your help! Anything you can contribute will help. Please do not hesitate to email me with any questions that may be keeping you from donating. I have NOTHING to hide and will be so glad to show you ANY sort of proof that may be keeping you from helping us. I can be reached at Imprayn4amiracle@aol.com ASK ME ANYTHING, but please HELP us! Thank you!!!!!!!
