About to lose EVERYTHING due to health |

I will try to make this short bc my last thread didnt seem to post and it was long. I am stepping out of my comfort zone and crying as i type.
To make a long story short I was diagnosed with Breast in 2014. Had a bilateral double mastectomy with reconstruction. My body has rejected the expanders a few times and after several surgeries and infections I had lost both expanders. I let my body heal and back in May of this year I attempted to try it one more time. Everything was going good and then it happened again. More infections and surgeries. My last surgery was in November this year and I lost my job back in June. I have exhausted all funds to care for my 3 children, pay bills, buy groceries etc. My car was reposessed a few days ago and now I no longer have transportation. My family has helped as much as possible but they can't do it every month. I applied for short term disability and was denied. I am at risk of losing my home since I have not been able to make a payment since August. Christmas is only a few weeks away and I cant give my kids any presents since i have no money and no means to do so right now since I am still healing from my surgery. I recently found out I have a auto immune disorder and this is why I have been having all the complications i have had. I cannot walk to food banks to get food because of my last surgery and if I was to go put and walk in the cold I am at risk of introducing illnesses to my body. I hate asking for help but I feel like I am losing my mind by not being able to work to provide. My cancer is in remission its just I cant work until I am healed and now that I do not have a car and do not live near a bus route I am stuck. I live on the outside of town and its almost impossible to get anywhere without the help of family and friends but sometimes I feel like a burden and like they don't want to help me anymore. I know its not the case but its how I feel. My ex husband who lives 4 states away has threatened to take our children from me if I lose my home or I cannot provide for them. I will go insane if he takes them. I wouldnt be able to see them as i am not financially nor in the best health to travel. Someone please find it in your heart to help. I will do my best to repay whatever is given. Thank you for reading and Have a blessed day.

First I would like to say thank you for taking the time to read this. I am stepping out of my comfort zone by asking for help from strangers. Here is my story....
In December 2014 I was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 31. My doctor had suggested that I have a double bilateral mastectomy with reconstruction and skin sparring. So I went with what he suggested and scheduled the surgery. On the morning of February 16,2015 just 5 days after my 32nd birthday I was being wheeled into surgery. I woke up several hours later in tremendous pain and couldn't get the pain under control at first. The dr had placed expanders under my pectoral muscle and had done my first fill of 100cc of sterile saline. I spent days in the Hospital and I was released to go home. My mother, sister and a special friend came & helped me with my 3 children, my personal needs and housework. Then on February 23,2015 something didnt feel right. My incision site on my left side was really red and hot to the touch and I was having mtemts of being hot and cold so I took my temperature and it was 103.4. I took some fever reducers (tylenol) and waited to see if it would come down. It didnt budge but went up to 104. That is when i called my drs after hours line. The on call dr told me to go to the ER where he would come take a look at me. When I arrived he was already waiting on me and took me straight to a ED room. He took one look at my surgical site and said there was an infection, but he didn't know just exactly to what extent until he got my bloodwork back and my white blood count was super high. He said he was admitting me & placing me on one of the strongest antibiotics (vancomycin) and we would go from there. He wanted to avoid any surgeries if possible and save my expander. The next morning around 5am a nurse came in to get my vitals and my bp was dangerously higg, my fever had once again jumped up over 104 and my vein had blown from the harsh antibiotics. So she called my dr he had them place another IV and prep me for surgery. I was so delirious from the high fever and i wasnt making any sense at all. So once again i was wheeled to surgery where they had to remove the left expander. The dr said when he opened me up infection poured everywhere. I spent another 8 days in the hospital 3 of those days were in ICU, where I was closely monitored and where my pain was being controled. On the 8th day I was able to go home and feeling fairly good. I had 2 JP drains this time to drain any unwanted fluids. Everything once again was going great until the morning of March 20th I woke up to excruciating pain and blood pooled on my right side. I panicked and called my mom. I was afraid to even lift my shirt and look at my incision on my right side. My JP drain contained blood and pus and I once again had a fever. My mom took one look and took me straight back to the ER. On the ride there I had what they call a febrile seizure which happens when there is a sudden increase in your body temp. Mine had reached 105. My mom almost wrecked bc of my seizure but she got me to the Hospital where they rushed me to a room and started placing ice packs on me and around me. My blood pressure was dangerously low. So once again I was being admitted and closely monitored on vancomycin. This time though after 7 blown veins they placed a picc line in so they could administer my antibiotics and whatever other medications i needed. Once again the next morning my fever wouldn't go down and I had multiple seizures within a short period of time I was wheeled back to the OR. My dr doesnt like doing surgeries when you have a fever but I was becoming more critic with every minute that passed. So he opened me up and once again infection poured out. He noticed that my right side about 8 inches below my armpit all the way to my back was really red and swollen so he made a small incision and more infection. It had literally spread to my back and was caused from the JP drain along with the other infection. I spent another 12 days in the hospital. 7 of those days in ICU due to fevers, seizures and very low blood pressures. On day 12 I was released to go home, no longer having any expanders. I had to heal for atleast 6 months before doing the reconstruction again. I waited a lot longer because I wanted to be fully healed. Well here I am 4 years later where my doctor and I felt it had been long enough for my body to heal and I am now cancer free. We thought that may had something to do with it. I started the reconstruction over on May 9,2018. I made arrangements to be off work for atleast 8 weeks and was approved for the time off with pay. So that morning I was taken into the OR where they placed my expanders and the alloderm under my pectoral muscle. Everything went well, there was very little pain and I stayed in the Hospital for 2 days. I healed up nicely and was able to return to work 6 weeks later. I was so happy. On the morning of August 4th I woke up with a slight fever and a headache but took it as I was coming down with something. Took some tylenol and called into work sick. Later that evening My fever had spiked and my daughter who was 14 at the time found me having a seizure in the shower. She called 911 then my parents.The dr ordered blood work and it indicated there was a infection somewhere. There was...it was in my right side omce again and it was back with a vengeance and had spread to my blood. I was now septic and in critical condition. They couldnt put me through surgery until i was more stable. I spent 6 days in the ICU on a vent being pumped full of antibiotics. Finally i was taken back to the OR to have thr expander removed. I was devasted that this happened again. I got released 9 days later just to be back in the Hospital again to have my left expander removed in November. My dr had some tests ran and I have an auto immune disorder and that is why I have had so many infections. My job got sick of me having to be off and let me go and all my funds for bills, medication, car, food and for the kids to do extracurricular activities has been drained from my account. I am at risk of losing my home that I worked so hard for. My car was reposessed on December 2nd so i no longer have my transportation to and from appointments and places i need to go. I applied for temporary disability where i have been denied and now my ex husband is threatening to take my kids if I lose my home. My kids are my everything and my reason I keep fighting. But I am at my wits end. My family has helped me as much as possible without losing there things. They are tapped and cant help me financially anymore. Christmas is only a few weeks away and I can't even buy my kids a single thing because I dont even have a dollar to my name. We missed the deadline for the Christmas program they have here to get Christmas for my children and my cupboards are so bare that I have had to have friends or family bring us something to eat. I cant get to the food pantries to get food because I cant walk that far in the shape i am in health wise plus I am susceptible to any virus or bug that is going around and its 10x worse for me and means a hospital stay if i get sick. My kids need me but they also need to be able to count on me to support them financially. Their dad lives 4 states away and if he takes them its hard telling when i will see them again and we are a close nit and bonded family. Someone please find it in your heart to help me out atleast for Christmas and to be able to make atleast one house payment so the bank doesnt take my home. Thank you for reading my long post.

In Need of a Hand Up, Not a Handout |

I’m a single mother to a 6 year old little boy and a beautiful 17 year old girl. I’ve also had custody of my 7 year old nephew since he was 10 months old. It was originally a temporary arrangement but after the years went by, it became apparent that he wasn’t going anywhere. He calls me mom and has just as much room in my heart that my son and daughter do. I could bore you with a lifelong sob story about how tough I had it and my abusive relationships but that is all my past and that’s where I leave it so that we can enjoy the present and look forward to the future. We rent a home that isn’t anything to brag about but it’s a roof over our heads (even if it does leak a lot). My rent is $1,000/month with nothing included. At the end of September I changed jobs and wasn’t able to carry my old health insurance after I left. I will be eligible for insurance at my new job in January. My nephew receives an injection daily and has for a little over two years. The cost of that injection without insurance is just shy of $3k every 28 days. I have spent every penny of my savings and a good chunk of my bill money to make sure he continued with his meds. Now my checking account is overdrawn, my rent is behind, my lights are going to get shut off, I need pellets for heat and my car insurance is going to lapse. The only family I have is my mother who is retired and lives month to month and my father who is gravely I’ll and trying to live on his social security. Yes there are programs through the state and county but because I work so hard, we are no income eligible. I haven’t slept in days worried about how we are going to pull through this. I need help catching everything up and then we’ll be fine again. I don’t know what else to do and have nowhere to turn. With each passing day I become even more buried because of the astronomical overdraft fees that are just eating away what started as just a small overdraft and snowballed into the biggest debt I have. I’m putting my faith in humanity and praying I can reach some selfless individuals that would help us out.
Rent- $1,550
Electric-$631.46
Pellets- $249
Insurance-$286
Overdraft- $1,952.48
