2 years ago, my mother and I moved from Oregon to Mississippi to be with family. Since moving here, we’ve had more downs than ups.
Ive personally struggled with a gastrointestinal syndrome that cost me the job I landed when we arrived. That was this past January. it took me three months to obtain another job and in that time, we had gone through what savings we had.
6 weeks into the new job, I was hit by a car speeding illegally in the turn lane and my head struck the steering wheel, my airbag never deployed.
My brother, who moved here with us had already moved back to Nashville. My mother who had a job caring for my grandparents was also let go due to my grandparents needing more help than my mother was able to provide.
I obtained a concussion in the accident and was told not to go back to work for 2 weeks as the severity of my brain injury wouldn’t heal looking at computer screens. I was terminated 3 days in.
My Mother was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis last week and I’ve had another accident that compromised my head.
I’m dizzy, disoriented, and seeing double. My short term memory that was recycling every 24 hours is now recycling every hour.
My mother is in constant pain... we’ve been living off of charity for months.
I have no one left to turn to and neither does my mother. The state of Mississippi has very few programs we qualify for and the healthcare system is terrible. I’ve been waiting almost 3 months for an MRI and my mother can’t see a rheumatologist until December.
We would like to get back to Oregon where we still have people that care about us and the healthcare system is much better equipped for our needs.
Unfortunately, we don’t currently have the funds.
We have been served our eviction notice and have nowhere to go.
Please help us if you can. Every little bit would help us and we will be so grateful for your assistance.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers.
