So, my mom and I are going through a hard time. We are living in a place that we can barley afford because her ex boyfriend promised to move in and help out. Instead he treated her terribly and never went through with any of his promises. Also my mom has type 1 diabetes and she is very uncontrolled and she really needs an insulin pump but even through insurance it will be 18 thousand to just start up not to mention how much it will cost each month. We are looking for new insurance that might be better but we have to wait for the market to open. I am in college and currently trying to pay for it myself because I haven’t been able to get a loan. My mom also has an injured back and epilepsy so she is unable to work. I also have serval medical problems of my own but I’m much more worried about her. We also take care of my grandma who had a hip replacement about 2 years ago. Her nerves stopped working in that area which makes it very hard for her to walk and one of her legs was made longer than the other which also causes difficulty to walk. She also has extremely bad asthma which we had to take her to the hospital for last winter. We buy her groceries and care for her as much as we possibly can and only one of her two sons helps and he barley even does anything.We can barley able to pay our bills at the end of the month. We could really use a bit of help, if you could give anything, anything at all it would help change our lives and keep us going until we can change our situation. Anything you could give would go to savings for her insulin pump, savings for my school, or groceries. I will link my PayPal and Ko-Fi, if you can’t give anything I more than understand. Please reblog to boost this. Thank you. I could also take commissions for writings I usually post stuff about my writing on @honeydewhao but you can message me anywhere you like about that.
