Help! Medical Bills: Health & Surgery & Survival
Donation protected
Hello Everyone! I am asking for HELP!
I've got some life issues thrown at me all at the same time and am desperate for help. I cannot pull it off by myself ANY LONGER.
1) I was forced to move to Charlotte, NC because of the recession which ruined my career and a friend of mine took me in and I had to create a job for myself, of which I have done but I just can't maintain the duties for the amount of return, the numbers are ONLY covering my basic survival for the amount of time I am putting in and if something dare goes wrong which it has over & over & now - "I'm doomed". Many things have gone wrong beyond my control and my body and mind have been beaten down. I ripped "both" Achilles tendons and was forced to keep working with them so wore a boot which caused me to have degenerative cartilage in my right hip, not to mention the ripped hamstring from falling down while walking a dog. Leading to more time off for medical attention/healing, causing no income.
2) Last year April 2018 My best friend of 17 years (my dog died) after putting thousands & thousands of dollars into his medical bills for him to finally pass on April 3rd, 2018. I wouldn't have changed anything but I'm still paying off his medical bills. Charles got a palup in his nose which grew in both directions causing his skull to crack and started getting seizures, forcing him to have 3 operations, then he had ulcers blow up in both of his eyes, causing him to slowly go blind. He and I stood by one another threw thick and thin but he was an absolute mess. I had no choice but to take care of him as anyone who knows unconditional love would and take care of him until the bitter end.
3) In the same month my best friend Charles died - April 2018 my mother died. The death of both my best friend and my mother passing in the same month pretty much gave me a an emotional breakdown and ended up in the hospital for care for a week (costing me more - more money). I was not able to function, it was too much loss for me at one time to handle with zero support in addition to all my already existing health problems going on simultaneously.
CONTINUING:
4) Then over the last year, I have ended up with migraines the doctors have not been able to target the exact cause. The migraines have been up to 5 to 6 days per/week of which I have had to wake up with and work through the day with or end up flat on my back for two hours with meds and ice packs to recover from the pain, to end up with another one the next day and start the whole process again.
5) Now I have ended up with "breast issues" which I have put off resolving for a very long time due to the health of my dog/mother/keeping up with my personal health/making money and trying to maintain my religious practice and teaching children at Hindu Center of Charlotte, of which I promised Pujya Swamiji before he took Samadhi "I would teach Indian Children Sanskrit, Vedanta & Slokas, of which I do. I have finally successfully completed my breast surgery September 9th, 2019, (which could have been the cause of my migraines but only now time will tell) which cost a lot out of pocket and recovery time off again, (so no making money again because of health for a few weeks).
AND THEN THERE'S MORE . . . . . .
6) Now my 20 yr car has been breaking down for over a year now every few months or so and I cannot buy a new car. I've been fixing it over and over but this time its repair cost is $900. It has gotten fixed but I cannot get it out of the shop I do not have the money to pay it off without putting it on a credit card for more debit. I cannot work without my car, I am lucky a friend of mine is loaning me his car but I cannot have it forever, I need my car out to work.
7) I'm trying to get to see one of my teachers coming in from India to study and see about studying with her for 3 years, but with all that has accumulated just to stay afloat in the USA I'm fearful I will not be able to see her all because of it's just seems to be NEVER enough with my financial makings no matter how hard I try, but if I have to I will walk to see her. My long term goal is to get to India by 2021 and stay planted and close up shop in USA but within doing this samsara has put a lot of roadblocks in front of me by my own karmic reasons, and I cannot seem to break them down by myself no matter how hard I try (including working myself to sickness). I have high religious and spiritual goals and really am hoping people can appreciate this effort and can assist in helping me reach this. I have discovered I cannot do it alone any longer, I have fought & fought and tried day after day. I would like my long term teaching goal to be of complete renunciation and will end in India teaching for AIM for Seva Orphanage(s) to share my knowledge with the Indian children I promised Pujya Swamiji I would not let the lineage be lost.
As you can see I have had a lot of trials and tribulations over the years which have piled and piled on top of one another and I cannot seem to get ahead of, it seems like 1 step forward 3 steps back, over and over again. I am desperately asking if anyone can assist me I would forever be grateful. It's just me, myself and I out here. I have no family to ask for help from and have tried to do it alone for so long it has now broken me down. I NEED HELP! If you can donate any money to my cause I would be forever grateful.
