Drowning in Medical Bills: Help Me Save My Mom’s Life

Donation protected
Hello, my name is Oby, and I don’t know where else to turn. I’m the only child taking care of my mom. I used to have an older brother, but he went missing a few years ago, and we don’t even know if he’s alive or not. That broke my mom, and it’s been downhill ever since.

She’s been struggling with hypertension and dementia, and now things have gotten so much worse. She had a massive stroke, and it has left her in a coma. At one point, she couldn’t breathe on her own and had to be put on a ventilator.

The bills are massive. I’ve used up all my savings. I’ve stopped paying rent. I’m working overnight shifts just to keep up, but it’s not enough. I’m 47 years old, and this is breaking me. I’m on blood pressure meds myself, and I have three kids who need me to stay healthy for them too.

I’m doing everything I can, but I’m drowning. I honestly can’t keep going on like this. I need help – anything you can give, even just sharing this, would mean so much to me.

Thank you for reading and for caring.
