Life crisis of a family of 8

Me and my Children suffered a Great Depression due to losing everything we had because we were losing our home, I tried to work to support my children and handle all their needs but while I was working I was also pregnant with my first daughter and while pregnant with her I had preeclampsia. On my way of finding out the gender of my daughter I was super happy but then diagnostic medical doctor that was performing my ultrasound stop doing the ultrasound with a very confused look on her face and told me she would be right back. She seen a birth defect on my daughter’s heart so she referred me to children’s Hospital. She explained to me that she thinks something is wrong with my daughter’s heart. In order to really get a good look at her heart to tell further details on what they see, Children’s Hospital will be our best bet. At the time I thought maybe it was just my daughter has been moving around too much and they can’t get a clear picture, so I’m gonna go to Children’s Hospital and we’re going to figure out what’s going on. So children’s Hospital called me to set up an appointment for my daughter. I’m prepping myself before I get there like she’s gonna be OK ! I’m going to get my pictures and it’s gonna be perfectly fine, but when I got to Children’s Hospital, I was in the ultrasound room for almost an hour in a half, after the lady got done reviewing my daughter on the ultrasound she asked me to wait in the room and she will be back with the results…. when she came back in the room, she came back and asked to move us to a different room to speak to the surgeons in the doctors. Right there I knew something was wrong, but I didn’t say anything. I just walked with my head held high and walked to the other room and waited for them to come and talk to me. Once they walked in a lady had paperwork in her hand, and she held my hand and she looked me in my eyes and told me that my daughter has heterotaxy , and that she would need four surgeries in order for her to be function in life. She explained that the surgery will be very complex but she told me not to worry because Children’s Hospital has the best surgeons for things like this, I cried, because I felt like after having 6 boys. I finally got my girl and now she has a heart problem, any mother would be devastated & heart broken words couldn’t even explain how I felt a part of me blame myself I started to ask could this be a genetic thing? is it something that I ate ? I started to question does any of my family members have this ? I wasn’t raised with my father and I don’t know him but what if ? Or my daughters father ?

all in all I found that out I became very depressed. while I was trying to work pregnant with my daughter, I was put on bedrest and was considered a high-risk pregnancy so I was on restriction, at the time I had just started my job so I couldn’t put in benefits for maternity leave, so I just quit and tried to seek government assistance. I started getting ready for birth at home and getting my kids situated, & preppy, my neighbor, or my children’s needs & everything their going to need while I’m in the hospital giving birth, I was 7 months pregnant but I was scheduled for a early birth due to medical reasons, my second oldest ends up having a seizure, scared me so much because I’ve never Witness a seizure I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t know if I should hold him, pick him up nothing, I asked my neighbor to watch my children. She helped me get my son in the car, and I rushed my son to the hospital and I didn’t stop. Luckily the roads were clear because it was late at night, I ended up at University Hospital at the emergency room for children. I called it in they met me at the door. A lady from the hospital ran out quick and checked my son‘s eyes with the flashlight and screamed for help . I’ve never seen so much doctors in my life. After my son had a seizure, he wasn’t responsive for 3 hours, scariest moment of my life, because I thought I was going to lose my son. My son finally responded and called my name i’m not a perfect mom at that moment I felt like how could I be so stupid to not know my son was having a seizure, I never thought this would happen to him. He’s a very bright little boy, and he loves to dance, and every Sense then he stopped dancing and playing with other kids, my son’s face was so puffed up he lost teeth, And he was more tired than anything, He was told that he had restrictions on every day activities and it frustrates him that he can’t be independent on his own, without me helping him. After all this happened I woke up one day. It was going to head to the store to get groceries for my kids for them to eat. My car wasn’t outside anymore. My car was repossessed due to nonpayment. I didn’t have the money to pay for the car I tried to hold onto it as long as I could until tax season but that didn’t work . Three weeks after that, we were losing our home At the time due to my situation, I didn’t pay for rent housing paid my rent in full. We received

notices on our door stating that housing never paid rent but then they end up paying the rent late so we stop seeing the Notices of late payments , but the last notice that was put on our door stated

an eviction letter. I was told to be in court the day after Christmas. I happen to be with family around that time for Christmas, and didn’t know I had a notice on my door until I got back from the holiday break. And I missed the court date I contacted my housing specialist and she told me don’t worry about it the Landlord is just doing this to scare me off her property and that they paid her already I will be fine so I listened and I paid it no mine and then weeks after that I ended up with a writ of restitution on my door , I cried because I already had a lot of stuff going on and in this timeframe I ended up having my child I didn’t know where to go, who to talk to because my family didn’t live in the state of Colorado, we’re losing everything that we value, we tried to sell everything on offer up, next door neighbor app , marketplace on facebook, but we only made enough to get a hotel for 2 nights, We are asking for somebody to help us get us back home to Chicago with family support and raise funds for me to get a car so that I can drive around to support my children it is very horrible. Catching a bus with seven children, help to pay for transportation, clothing, housing, dippers wipes, etc. anything will help. but we can’t do it without your Support, anything helps even a dollar or resources , we really would appreciate it and I understand that it’s hard times for everybody and we’re not the only family that’s going through this. I am doing everything I can but I know things will be better if we have the funds to get back home, in the hands of a bigger Support we’re not a rich family and unfortunately I am a single mother, all I’m asking for is your support thank you ❤️
