Desperate For Hospital Expenses!

Donation protected
I have been living with my mother Melanie since 2005 when I lost everything in Hurricane Katrina. We enjoyed being able to share expenses and were doing well living together over the last few years. We were very close and best friends!! :)
In 2013 I had Gastric Bypass surgery that was followed with several complications. The worst was a blood clot in my abdomen that caused damage to my spinal cord causing me to lose feeling from the belly button down and extreme pain. I am unable to stand, walk, or sit for long periods of time as a result. Over the last two years I have been completely dependent on my mother Melanie. She not only took physical care of me, but after I was let go from my job the same year, she saved me financially as well.
The hardest part of this Fund Me story is that my mother herself became ill this year and was finally diagnosed with Diffuse B cell Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma on June 15th. Sadly they said that the tumors were too numerous and too large and that the very strong chemo they could give her, would essentially kill her by shutting down her kidneys and liver by over working them. We discussed it together, and bravely made the decision to take her home to be with me, my puppies that she adored being their Mimi, and her sister Pikey! We had her home for only 9 days before I lost my precious Mom!! She went peacefully with Gods grace and mercy on Thursday, June 25th, at 9:00 am at 66 years old! This all happened SO fast and I know even 2 years later I'm still in shock. I miss my best friend desperately, and I really don't know where to turn. She was my rock!
Now, I ask for your mercy and assistance for my future! I have been left with a huge house and a mountain of bills and as of right now I only get my small disability check each month, and I have mental health illnesses that I irresponsibility use my small income. Without my Mom, I have lost her salary from her full time job and her monthly Social Security income.
I don't know what the future holds for me still, but I'm in dire straights financially and in danger of losing everything. Most scary part is that may lose my home to live in.
If you can please find it in your heart to donate to help me till the finances are decided about my future, I'd be forever grateful! I'd truly appreciate any amount you feel you could donate to help me out till I'll see if I have any income, and a decision can be made to stay, move out, rent, or sell the house. I'm truly terrified of my future for the first time in my life!
Thank you for reading and helping if you can!
