I am a 43 year old single mom with a severe case of Asthma and C.O.P.D. I do work full time and hope to remain working for as long as I can. I was diagnosed about 4 years ago. In the past 4 years , I have made over 20 trips to the ER and hospitalized almost 10 times. I brought new years 2015 in while spending it in ICU with such a severe case of pneumonia which caused a bacteria to get in my bloodstream, Septis. When admitted, it was unknown if I would pull through or not while my blood pressure had dropped to the teens. I remained in the hospital for a total of 15 long days but managed to pull through. In the past month and half I have been hospitalized once with a total of 3 trips to the ER. I have to go on steriods, Prednisone, every 8-10 weeks which is just 1 of many drugs I take to help me breath. It is a dangerous drug and has quite a few bad side affects. I am now checking my Oxygen level in my bloodstream on a daily basis and I'm not sure how long or when it started but it isn't very good here lately. My O2 stat ranges as low as 88 to 95 since I've been keeping track of it. I struggle every day with something that most take for granted, breathing. I've been under the care of a pulmonary doctor for the past 4 years. I don't come from a family of money and don't get any help in raising my 13 year son, and under my circumstances, I find it very hard to make ends meet and it seems to only be getting worse because I am in no way getting better. My medicine is almost more than I can pay and my doctor bills are piling up with no end in sight. I feel almost helpless and even part of me, a little ashamed, not for being sick, but not being able to handle what is being thrown at me. I suffer with not being able to breathe more than I will ever show. I am asking for donations to help me in the continued medical treatment that I need to maintain a life for as long as I can and to be a mother to my son as long as time will allow. Please, I'm not asking for pity, I'm just asking that God will take a huge load off of me in helping relieve me a the financial struggles that I'm facing . Thank you for your time and may God bless you, as I know he will me.
