"Welcome home" with my mother who needs urgent care, stroke!
Donation protected
Hello friends, (First update is live).
My name is Karine C.
I found myself in a very tough position.
Two (around almost three) years ago, I moved with my mother to Spain, seeking for better days/place to live, after grampa's passing... Things did not go along as plan.
~*My long term illness has worsened — just last month I spent 7~plus days in the hospital — Mental issues especially C-PTSD, CFS, (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome). Scolliosis and Endometriosis. There are days I can not leave the bed. These are painful days. Especially depresssing days when I'm in so much pain that no painkiller can help...
I live in Spain, even though Spain is great, I long to go back to my old beloved home, Belgium. They pressured me to move here, and it's time to go back. I was saving up as much as I could, but my mom got a stroke. She could not pay rent while she was in a short coma. My mom and I are forced to move out - and because of my mother suffering a major stroke is almost completely paralyzed at the right side... She's currently in rehab. I'm all alone in Los Alcazares, trying to find an addres for mom and me, so I can go to Belgium to start the big procedures to help her, that she needs!
The people in charge that caused us our home, are friends/family of the landlord, so they give a lot of pressure. My goal is to hire movers, a van, cleaners, which I’m already trying to do myself, but this burns/hurts. My conditions cause me to bruise easily, so I can't do too much each day. I still want to try with drawing, I don't like to ask for help without offering in return, but it hurts. Both the stress and the physical issues get in the way. So, I come here asking for help, please help me, the moment I can draw again, I will. My gallery so far is here:
My mother in the hospital, you only have one mother in your life, treat her kindly.., I made her some rice with curry that day, before they moved her to another hospital...

Update 1: Look at my mom eating with her left side (which is difficult, since she's right handed) my rice with curry. I hope she liked it...
I need to pay for rent, two deposits, a van with people who'd help me with the boxes, clean - I think this will cost me minimum 4000EUR
I need to hire a Notery so I can do my mothers payments in her stead, as she's right handed she can't do anything about it, doing everything left :( and the bank wont let me be the one to do things for her, they adviced a Notery... and then kindly asked me to "LEAVE" their bank. For their reviews, I will not post the name of this Spanish bank.
Then I need to fly to Belgium and find a home there, which is the next update.... The "OCMW". But I first need to find a home here for our accounts and safety.
My dear readers, Thank you for taking the time to read.
Estimated 1000EUR for lawyer/Notery and translator
Estimated ay three months I need in between 1500-2000EUR to be able to moveouself , even though we'd rather live in Belgium, country of origige...
Because then I can visit mom much better, she will have to stay for a while
