I am a single mother of four wonderful children. Due to my medical condition, I am unable to work and therefore making ends meet is extremely difficult. I am in and out of the hospital constantly and am on a lot of medications to keep my condition at bay. This condition is also inoperable because I may not survive the surgery and there's a 90 % change that if I do survive it, I will come out of it with a severe and fatal septic infection. This is the reason the doctor's have chosen not to operate. We lost our home last week and I am going to loose my transportation because I cannot afford to make payments on my car. I have applied for all sorts of aid, with all of the agencies in the area but I keep getting denied because I don't have a job. I am being told that the agencies do not help people under the circumstances I am in. I am a full time student and decided to do that because of the financial aid that the school is giving me. This little bit of money plus the little I receive from Veteran's Affairs help me out. My major concern is that this Christmas I will not have the means to provide my children with what they deserve. They are my life and the reasons I keep fighting and living. They take care of me when I am ill and because of that they are missing out on their childhood. I would appreciate anything anyone can do to help my childrens Christmas be a happy one.
