Three weeks before I was to return to teaching from Summer Break, I went in for what I though would be a routine visit. By the end of the visit, I found out I could not return to work and would have to have three surgeries.

Now, after a full month of no income, short term disability has still not started. I grow weaker each day and the struggle seems, at times, unbearable.

I used to pride myself on having been the one, for so many years, to help others. It is so very painful, as I type this to be the one to have to reach out in need.

If not for my two beautiful little boys, I would not reach out. They have their best friend, Leia (Yes...they named her after Princess Leia on Star Wars), our little dog that I don't think I am able to keep any longer...she is another mouth to feed. I am heartbroken that this has happened, but faithful!

Since I can not work, I am unable to apply for unemployment. Disability keeps telling me they are still processing paperwork....after a month. I can no longer afford medication, therapy or the last two surgeries I will need.

Your prayers and any help you may provide will have a lasting impact on the two little ones I fight for each day!
Blessings to you that even take the time to read this and place them in your thoughts!

Thank you,
Michael and Alex's Mommy
