Every Little Bit Helps
One minute I was walking along happy with my day of getting things done, and the next I was lying on the sidewalk with a stranger asking me if I was OK and should he call 911.
What has followed has been hospitalization, testing and as yet no certain answer except that driving and working as a Pediatric Home Care nurse is out of the question. Falling and cognitive decline, worsening memory make it difficult cope with my day to day.
Copays, and mandatory living expenses are mounting. My short term disability ended on April 15 And Long term has 90 days with legally two 30 day extensions before needing to pay me anything
I know there are many worthy causes out there and am already incredibly grateful for friends and family who have provided rides, food and in-person donations. Every hug and card makes a difference.
And thanks to an outpouring of love and generosity I have arrived at a point where I am receiving a pension without spending a single night homeless, or day hungry. Thank you.
