ERIN'S STORY:
Finding the Power of Giving is the first good news that I have received in a very long time. I just want to get my head out from under water so that I can take care of my family again. I hope that you can help me to do that, and that your readers will truly listen with their hearts.
I am so scared right now, I just never know what tomorrow will bring. Foreclosure, bankruptcy, more sickness, I am just scared right out of my mind.
A year ago, my 4 year old son was diagnosed with ALL, Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia and almost died. We spent a week and a half in the hospital taking care of him. We got to come home on Christmas Eve day but it was bitter sweet. My son will require treatments, chemo, spinal taps and oral meds for the next three and a half years.
The hospital that we have to go to is 195 miles away, and the truck that we use to get there is literally on its last legs.
Although he is in remission, he must continue the treatments until Feb. 10 2010. It is so hard to watch such a little boy go through all of this. Even though he did loose his hair, he has been so strong. I am so proud of him.
Then, seven months ago, my 8 year old son was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. He will now require insulin for the rest of his life. He is doing well with it, but I am not. I have had anxiety attacks and headaches almost everyday. I’m just so lost.
It has just been completely miserable at our house. We built our house two years ago, but now with all of the bills, I am scared that someone is going to take it away from us. It was our dream to build a home, just the way that we wanted it. I am just terrified. Completely terrified.
Sometimes you just need a little helping hand to make the clouds part and the sun shine through.
So, my goal is to get some of these doctors bills paid down and stay out of arms reach of foreclosure.
I know that this is a lot to ask of people I don't even know. I just hope you may be caring enough to help me change my life, for the better.
I want to wake up in the morning and smile, I can't do that now. It has been a long time since I have felt any sort of happiness. Yes, I am thankful for my kids I love them more than anything. I just want to be a happy, healthy family again.
Please help me to make that possible. Please be my angel.
