This note is long but PLEASE READ IT ALL to understand my situation.
Well i'm not even 20 yet but I'm already on the verge of having a nervous break down. As soon as I was old enough to get a job I got one and started helping my mom out because I would hear her talk about being in so much debt but never knew how much. After a year and a half of working I had to quit my job because I have really bad headaches that caused me to black out and drained all my energy so my managers and doctor thought it was better if I get checked and rest. After trying every medication out there I finally was introduce to IMITREX, which my moms insurance would only cover 9 pills for $200 and something dollars. My school would help out and get me extra pills when I ran out so I wouldn't miss school and fall behind. My grandfather ended up moving in with my mom, me and my other younger siblings to help out. But then two years ago my grandfather passed away due to cancer and my mothers mom passed away when she was three so my mother has no parents or siblings to turn to. And every since my grandfather passed away we've been really struggling badly even though I got a job again to help out it isn't enough cause I only make $6.50/hr. But two months ago we didn't have enough money for the rent and none of my mothers aunts or cousins gave her a dime to help us. Even though my mother has always helped them out she let some of them live with us when they didn't have nothing or she would put food in my aunts house for there kids when they were broke and even though a lot of them owe her ALOT of money she never asked for it back but now that my mother needed help they didn't help her. My meanest aunt that has a house with extra rooms asked my mother what is she going to do and my mom said I don't know, pray and my aunt said to her ''I guess you and your kids are gonna have to live on the streets'' I cant even describe how hurt I was, but I know my mom is hurting more cause I hear her cry every night . A lot of apartments turned my mom down due to her credit, but we ended up getting a place at the last minute with no ones help, even though its only a two bedroom and it's 6 of us were trying our best. I didn't go off to college this year because I knew my mom wouldn't have any help and wouldn't be able to pay for everything and take care of my siblings by herself and none of my siblings are old enough to work, but since I didn't go to college we found out that her insurance dropped me and I can't afford to pay for the IMITREX medication or go to the doctor to get shots for my alopecia, I only have 5 pills left and when those are gone I'm worried I won't be able to work or look after my siblings and we would really end up on the streets. My mother use to be in $50,000 of debt mainly for helping my family out and also for using her credit cards when we didn't have anything which I later found out. But she and I have been trying to lower her debt and so far she's only in $21,000 of debt. She's trying her hardest to keep us together and I'm trying my hardest to help her, but I feel like were alway's going to be struggling and I wanna cry so badly but I'm afraid if I do I'll break down, so I hold it all in and feel miserable. So PLEASE if anyone out their who has even a penny they don't need and would like to send it to us I'd appreciate it so much, thank you.
