Story

13 years ago (at 25 years old) I was exposed to chemicals on a job that resulted in a Terminal Lung Disease, called Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, that has the life expectancy from diagnosis of 2-5 years. Every person progresses differently and I have been blessed to be one of those. I had one still birth and 4 miscarriages before , in-between, and after successfully birthing my two children. My husband left us 10 years ago after his brother died from an overdose and has minimal contact with our children. Since then I have been involved in two serious roll-over car accidents that I also miraculously survived. Because of my disease progressing I have been unable to work for over two years after being independent, and working since a young age. A year ago a neighbor became obsessed with me and started stalking me, eventually ending in him entering my home and assaulting me in front of my children. I have no vehicle to go to take my children or myself to appointments or to even grocery shop. I can not afford to buy anything for Christmas, and as of two weeks ago I have been ill because my left lung partially collapsed. I only recieve $111 every two weeks for child support, and also have no support from my family who actually live in the same small town I do. I only have one friend who recently moved away and I am barely staying afloat. I took a class to become a Certified Abuse and Addiction Recovery Coach but the person that was helping me stopped just as I finished and took my final exam (which I passed) but before I got my certificate, because I refused to date him, and we are now enstranged. It was my only way of getting on my feet to support my children and has now become impossible, as I can not even keep up with the bills and everyday living expenses. So please if you can help me I would be forever greatful and thank you for your support.
