Help Marlene After 1 Month Hospital Stay

Donation protected
Hi everyone, my name is Melody and I am Marlene’s daughter (and biggest fan). In November my mom arrived at an urgent care due to pain and swelling under her left arm, and was immediately directed to the ER. Once at the ER, my mom was admitted for what they initially believed to be cellulitis and treated with IV antibiotics. Unfortunately, this intervention did not alleviate my mom of her pain and furthermore worried the doctors that there may be something else going on. My mom endured two surgeries in an attempt to remove what they eventually found out to be MRSA and her hospital stay continued for weeks. 

As many of you may know, my mom works for Independent Coach Corp and cuts hair on the side. These jobs are hourly and commissioned so due to her health, she has not been able to work for over a month. My mom has a long recovery ahead of her and while she has been instructed to rest, the world keeps on spinning and the bills keep collecting so she could really use some help to supplement what she has lost in income. 

Furthermore, she was recently informed that the power steering on her car is out which presents another barrier for when she finally is able to get back to work again. 

All of the money raised will go toward helping my mom
pay the rent and bills, as well as fund the repairs her car so desperately needs.

If you know my mom then you know asking for help is almost impossible for her, which is why I am launching this fundraiser on her behalf. Any contribution, big or small will go such a huge way in alleviating the stress my mom is feeling which will in turn allow her body to rest and repair as it needs to in order to fully heal. 

Thank you all so much for taking the time to visit this page and for sending well wishes to my mom.
