GRANTED!

I WISH Help for my family

They say when it rains it pours and I am a true believer of that. My husband and I have 2 beautiful little girls. Jaleesa is 7 and Jayla will be 2 in January. This last year has been so hard on us. In January we buried my mother in law unexpectedly at the age of 51 due to a stroke. My husband and I married in May of this year and he lost his job the day after we married. What a wedding gift! He currently gets unemployment but that barely pays the bills. We live in low income housing and they take 1/3 of his income, plus with all of our other bills there's nothing left over. We are barely surviving.

2 1/2 weeks ago our youngest daughter as well as myself were diagnosed with neurofibromatosis (AKA Elephant Man disease). My whole life makes sense now, all of my learning disabilities and all of the tumors I have on my body that I always thought were just cysts. I am scared for my baby and what her future holds. We have been traveling back and forth to a pediatric neurologist at a children's hospital in Danville, which is 2 hrs away. All the traveling has put a financial strain on us and we are now broke. I went to a local church for help, they helped me with household items such as toilet paper, toothpaste, dish detergent etc, we wouldn't even have those items without them. I have also contacted our local transportation company with help with expenses for going back and forth but have not received a response.

My family really needs help and In desperate need of a angel. I have nowhere else to turn. Anything will be appreciated. Our 7 year old needs clothes and loves Hannah. She is a girly girl and likes nail polish and makeup. My 2 year old needs warm clothes and has grown out of her crib. Hand me Downs are welcome. If we could get a few Christmas gift for her too we would be so grateful. She loves Dora and babydolls.

Please help my family.

    I can send you a gift card to Wal-Mart, as well. Also, I have a good friend who, along with her daughter, has the same condition diagnosed for you and your daughter. I think she could give you some good insight if you are interested. If so, I will email her and let her know to contact you via the site.

  • mama03208706 8 months ago - Accepted!

    What size is your two year old?? I might have some clothing that she could have and some nailpolish and that type for your 7 year old, I hope everything gets cleared up and remember, its how parents view their children is how they see themselves expecially so little. As long as you show them how beautiful they are, they'll see it too. I really hope this helps!

  • Kokothegorilla 8 months ago - Accepted!

    If you would please send me your name and address, I will put a little something ($$) in the mail for you.

    Blessings, Koko

    Todays appointment went pretty well. We got to sit down with the pediatric neurologist and ask questions and just learn a little more about this illness. Our next step with Jayla is a audiologist to make sure theres no tumors in her ears because her ears are very sensitive. The doctor seemed to be more concerned about me because I have a tumor on my spine. I was told my daughter is okay for now and to work on myself and get to a neurologist. Since knowing about the diagnosis I have put my health aside to give full attention to my daughters health problems. I guess its time to work on myself now. Just a little scared considering the location of my tumor. I'm sure God will get us through whatever comes our way. Thank You All for being so supportive to my family!

    I know today was your appointments and I was praying for your family today. Hope everything went well. Look forward to an update.

  • Jaylajaleesa08verified member icon 7 months ago

    Keyma Thank you very much..that is so thoughtful of your daughter. Thank you also for keeping us in your prayers. They are very much needed.
    **Update**
    We go back to the pediatric neurologist on Friday..we are a little nervous but hoping for the best. My oldest daughter goes to the eye doctor tomorrow just to check her eyes and make sure nothing is going on back there. I was told not to worry about her being as thought she doesnt have any spots but Im being cautious. When you have this illness there is a 50% chance to pass it to your child and my 2 yr old has it. I'm 27 and just finding out that I have this so I want my oldest checked..to be on the safe side.
    Thank You to all who have made this journey a bit easier on my family!!

    I do not have a paypal because I do not have a bank account to link it to. I initially signed up for it not knowing I had to have an account.
