Help for Erica
Donation protected
Erica was first diagnosed with MS when her daughter was in kindergarten. She was only 23. She worked as hard as she could for as long as she could but the diesease progressed. She has lesions in her brain that cause pain and other debilatating symptoms. She receives disability but it is not enough to cover her needs.
In the last year, Erica's husband and father of her two youngest children, left the house taking the only vehicle they owned. Erica now has to borrow a car or ask for rides whenever she needs something for her and her three children. She is trying for but has not received child support.
Recently, Erica's mother was diagnosed with a dangerous form of cancer. One tumor was treated. A second and more deadly tumor appeared. Her mom is in a hospital 45 minutes away from her. If they cannot sucessfully remove her mom's tumor, it will cause paralaysis...as it continues to grow. Erica has to borrow a car and spend gas money that she does not have, just to be there for her.
Erica just finished a round of steroids to try to help combat the ms and is supposed to be starting Pt but now needs to put that on hold to be there for her mom.
On top of all this, she is now a single mom to three (beautiful, wonderful) children. She has to tell them no more than any mom should. No, you cannot have that new toy. No, we cannot go out to dinner. No, I'm so sorry but I cannot buy you that new dress. No... Every birthday, every holiday is a struggle.
Erica is a strong person but she is overwhelmed by life right now. I ask that you give whatever you can, even if it's only $1 or $2. Every bit will help. I am hoping that we can raise enough for her to buy a relaible used car and pay for the first month or two of car insurance. That would help this family so much. Please...it would mean the world.
