Brain disease survivor

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Tiffany Jones and I am asking for your help in assisting me with raising money to help me with daily functioning since I've been diagnosed with a rare brain disease called Moyamoya. Firstly, I just want to say thank you in advance for even stopping by to hear my story. Back in May of this year, I was diagnosed with this rare brain disease that only affects 1 out of 1 million ppl in the U.S. This caused my whole life to turn upside down. On September 6th I underwent my first brain surgery. I have 3 kids that rely solely upon myself, being that I'm a single parent. Although there is no cure for this disease... brain surgery helps to give me a better quality of life to attempt to prevent strokes, mental declination, and seizures. I didn't hesitate to opt for the 2 major brain surgeries so that I can continue to be here for my kids...ages 23, 17, and 13. Because of the surgeries I had to take time out of work, per my brain surgeon's orders for 5.5 months to recover. Being out of work has caused my income to decrease DRASTICALLY. I do not have the capabilities to pay for all of my expenses that I'm used of paying for monthly. This disease has messed up my mental health. This is my son's senior year in high school and he was voted homecoming king and its extremely difficult for me to pay for his budget, along with his senior budget and other school activities that are very costly. We really only have each other, and I feel like I'm failing my son and my two other kids because of my disease. Because of my pride, I really did not want to start a go fund me, but I can't stand around and watch this very important year for my son to go by and he miss out because of my disease. I really have lots of pride which almost made me decline the thought of a go find me page. I'm asking for just a small donation to help me make sure my son's senior year is not a total let down for him because I am not able to provide for him the way that I'm used of doing. I have a lot of overhead bills that is very expensive monthly, but because I'm unable to work my full-time job, it's very difficult to keep up with all of my bills and responsibilities. I am due to have my 2nd brain surgery this month and I will be unable to do the things I normally do during my recovery. Again, I truly appreciate everyone who is willing to help me and my family out in any way. I am an avid believer of being a blessing to others and you will be a receiver of blessings. I do my best to help out others, even strangers and I'm finally at a point whereas I'm the one in need of help. Thank you so much for listening...
