Help get my boys and I on our feet.

Donation protected
Aloha all,
I have never been the best at accepting help or asking for it, but at this time I am desperate for a way for my sons and I to get back to a place of financial stability. My name is Kaylynn Galang and my boys are Asher and Lennox (4 & 1.) I will admit that this situation erupted from a relapse due to an injury I received last year October. It was a freak thing I slipped while walking out our front door after a particularly muddy and rainy night on Kauai. I was holding my youngest son in his carrier and when I slipped my mind focused on keeping him safe and when I landed my left foot on the ground it was in an awkward position and severely injured my nerve in my ankle. Thankfully Lennox was safe but this would lead to many many months of debilitating pain which ended with me relapsing on opioids. I knew straight away that I needed assistance with my addiction and shortly took a plane to Oahu to acquire help with my foot pain as well as my relapse. Here I attended a hospital that did nothing to help me except criticize me and take away my ankle brace which only further damaged my ankle. When I left after my 72 hour hold they called cps on me as I had mentioned in my group session I was getting sober for my children. I was very upset and angry that they called protection services on me as I was trying to do the right thing by getting help. However once I had finally escaped my addiction I realized it was the best thing for me and I am grateful they are safe and happy and I get to see them via FaceTime every night. It has not been easy to be away from my precious boys as they are my complete everything. A part of me and my whole heart. I have never felt so ashamed and guilty of my own choices until this happened. As of now I am returning back to the island where my kids are to continue my fight against the best of addiction and get my children back in my arms. The reason I am making this go fund me even though I am mortified that I need to display my dark past in public is because I desperately need help paying for my car payments in order to get my car back so I can use it to see my children, continue going to meetings and treatment, and other important appointments. Even though I had surgery on the ankle and it is much better than it was, I still struggle greatly if I have to walk more than 5-10 minutes because there is still some damage to the area. Please. If you can, donate. I am the type of person that donates if ever possible and I like to work and take care of myself however I truly do need help at this point. Thank you if you took the time to read this, addiction is a dark and horrible disease and I would wish it on no other family as it has torn mine apart and it still wants more from me. I fight the demons in my head every single day as they tell me I am not worthy, why continue to fight as I will always fail, that I'm useless and I should not even live as I'm pathetic. The list goes on. I will never give up fighting for my kids or fighting for my sobriety as I know it's not going to fix anything just make me more miserable. I am going to continue fighting every step of the way until I reach every one of my goals and will continue helping others win their own demons as I know how hard it is. Please fight with me and if you can show me I'm not alone. As I truly feel I am.
