I did not make it to the bathroom in time when I woke up around 5 PM today. I had o essentially walk a block from the car to the nearest bathroom. I got my underwear and skirt covered in pee and I had no wipes to wipe myself off. So…I stink. The clothes I changed into probably stink and I am quickly running out of clothes to wear, and ESPECIALLY clean underwear because this happens a few times a week (bladder issues are something I’ve had for the last 16 years, ever since I was pregnant with the kidlet).
PLEASE help me get a room so I can take a shower. PLEASE help me do the laundry building up in the car and wash our blankets this time, which stink to high heaven. PLEASE help me sleep in a bed and be able to wake up ad go to a bathroom mere feet away. I’m begging. I feel so embarrassed that I even have to ask this but I can’t deal with it right now.
My mother and I got some obstacles thrown our way today (but good news as well…if my phone is shut off my caseworker and I have a meeting on July 5th so she can tell me about the SSI/SSDI meeting I am waiting to hear about) and we are desperately in need of real rest for at least a few days, as both our ankles and legs are swollen and even in the shade it’s starting to get too hot to sleep in the car during the day. But yes, any help would be much appreciated to give us a chance to get our strength and stamina back to go eventually go back into the car while things are being sorted out.
We have a room for one night but no money for food and no money for laundry. But I’m so grateful right now for a shower.
I have gotten to sleep for only an hour and we have to check out in three and a half hours (I literally forgot how to sleep in a bed, apparently). $100 should cover another night and let me get some real rest.
Hey everyone, my mother has been sick for a long time and on the 5th of june, she had a stroke. We rushed her to the hospital but she suffered two additional strokes over the weekend and sadly… passed away.
My parents are divorced and I am a single child so this has a very trying time for me. I’ve been driving my mother to and from appointments on my own for years, sharing the same home as her for years and now… it’s just hard to process that she’s really gone.
I’ve since learnt that I have to foot the bill for the retirement check she got this month and her cremation as she has no life insurance. In addition, there’s a multitude of bills that I will have to pay. The fact that I’m currently unemployed doesn’t help this situation.
I have received some help from friends so far, but it’s not enough to pay for all of her bills. Your donation would really go a long way in helping me care for my mother one last time.
