Dear friends, family, and kind supporters,
I am reaching out during one of the most difficult times in my life. Over the past 10 years, I have endured over 20 surgeries and procedures to manage severe medical conditions. Unfortunately, the fight is far from over. I have been battling a major infection since the last surgery 12 days ago.
Asking for help is so hard for me, but I am out of options and really scared.
Immediately after surgery, a severe infection set in. Today is day 13 and I am on my 4th antibiotic, with a 2-inch hole in my jaw exposing the bone and another 1-inch hole on the other side of my jaw with holes in my cheek that fills with pus and drains. With severe swelling through my mouth and throat, I can only take liquids. The hospital did a CT scan and said I need an oral surgeon immediately, but because they couldn't secure one directly, they told me my primary care doctor or dentist has to submit the urgent referral. The referral just went out today and I am praying they can get me in fast. The next procedure in my spine and neck is on November 13th in Bangor and I go to the surgeon in Augusta for the fractures in three days.
On top of all of this on Thursday my glucose dropped dangerously low because I have not had my thyroid meds and I fell down the stairs hitting the cement. I praise God that my neighbor witnessed it and ran down to help pick me up but the injuries are very painful and will take a long time to heal.
I am completely out of work with more surgeries ahead, and an unexpected $400 car repair for my brakes, I wiped out my savings. Now I cannot afford my vital medications or primary care. I dont know when I will be able to go back to work and with rent and all the bills due next week my angels and I desperately need help.
Even in this trial, I trust that God is with me and that He calls us to help one another through life's burdens. If you are able to keep me in your prayers, share this post, or donate to my GiveSendGo to help cover my medical needs and our housing plus gas to the appointments while I am out of work, it would mean the world to us.
Thank you so much for your love, support, and prayers. May God bless you. ❤️
