Hi, my name is Erin and I, like many people these days, am really struggling to keep my home and feed my family.
About 5 years ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer, went through chemo, radiation, the whole 9 yards, with several surgeries and one MRSA infection, but I made it! Then I was diagnosed with Cytomegalovirus, which is a chronic viral infection that leaves me incredibly exhausted, with frequent “crashes” that leave me unable to stay awake. I have since been treated for cervical cancer and lymphoma, which were both treated surgically, but I have found myself unable to work at my job on a full time basis and struggling with medical bills for myself and my kids. I hope this isn’t my permanent state. I want nothing more than to feel healthy again, but right now my work hours have been minimized and I can’t figure out how to keep my family fed and housed without help. I wish I could find the words for how humiliated I am right now. I know most people are struggling, but I would very much appreciate any help that I get. ❤️
