Good is the day, everyone.

 

 

 

 

My name is Kacie.

 

I have COVID-19.

 

It wasn’t a bad start when I had tested positive for this virus. But, as days turned into weeks, I knew it was certainly more ugly than I could imagine.

 

With there not being any relief for those who have contracted COVID-19, it has become hard on those who have had to stay off of work for a prolonged period of time.

 

Behind the scenes, times have still been hard on us.

 

I have been so sickly that it even hurts to breathe. Nothing is appetizing to eat. My low-grade fever (99.8-100.2°) will not go away. I am cold then hot then cold again.

 

I am fortunate enough, though, that I am not among those who are in the hospital fighting for their lives.

 

It has been almost 3 weeks since I’ve been off of work. Unfortunately, I do not have a stable support system that have carry my bills until I get better.

 

I’m not asking for thousands of dollars to get my out of this whole. I just want to worry on one thing at a time, and that’s on getting better.

 

Thank you.

-Kacie

Hi, my daughter and I need help with moving and we will need help with appliances, bedding, food etc anything would be appreciated, here is my papypal Link paypal.me/perkele111

As much as it hurts, I am asking for help from any kind-hearted individuals who are willing to give a small portion of what they have to someone they will never meet.

My best friend’s family is in a hard way, and I’ve been trying to help, but my own hours at work have been cut so bad and raises refused due to the company trying to save money, so I am barely managing to support the two of us, let alone more. I am making less than those below my position at work right now due to what my company is doing right now to cut corners, and I’m beginning to worry for my own survival as well as that of my friend and his family. We are both technically homeless and have been staying at my mother’s in a small upstairs room, half of which is dedicated to storage, so really we only have less than half of a room that is already only about 90 square feet to begin with. I’ve never felt so humbled in my life.

My friend has a disability that prevents him from working easily and it’s hard for him to keep a job that’s willing to work with his pain levels since he has also had his disability denied due to doctor lies on his medical record, putting him in a very bad position. His mother is a single mother who struggles with chronic pain and disability, although her case has been continually denied and so she is unable to get the help she needs in that regard. She also has a young son (my best friend’s little brother) with a disability who requires a lot of her shared time and resources, making it very difficult on her, and especially right now where she has so little for herself. Right now she is struggling to keep food in her house, and enough money to pay her bills, pay for repairs to her only vehicle, and put gas in the car to go to the doctors that she needs to see to improve her health and make it so she CAN support herself again. I am able to work, of course, but my hours have been cut so badly, I’m barely making it from paycheck to paycheck, and that’s being weekly instead of biweekly. We have been seeking out the resources we have available, but it’s simply not been enough. I no longer have a working car and depend on borrowed transportation to keep my own income flowing, what little there is.

Through all this, I am not asking for help for myself, I am asking for her. I think I can manage on my own, if it were just myself and my friend to support. I simply can’t help her out in the way she needs, I’m not making enough money or getting nearly enough hours, so I am here earnestly asking for help from anyone who has a little to spare. What I do have right now is internet and a computer, and so on her behalf I implore anyone who reads this to consider offering just a little. It doesn’t have to be much, if enough people pitch in. Even if it were just $10 or $20, from enough people it would be a huge help and is a big appreciation, and any money donated to me will be given to her to help her with her survival. I swear that I will not keep a penny of it for myself, but neither will I ever be able to pay it back.

If you donate to my link, know that you will be helping a single mother and her two sons (my friend’s younger brothers), and you will have my eternal thanks and appreciation. With enough help for these three people, I can support the needs of myself and my best friend. I have never begged for money before, truly, but I am asking now for you to please consider just a little to help us out and keep a small family of three from starving and going cold in the months to come until warm weather arrives to stay.

Hi, I try not to ask of people like this, but we really need help, so I am going to reach out and pray. My name is Joseph I grew up in Memphis Tennessee in a small little midtown house my mother and father worked so hard for. If you’re not familiar with midtown Memphis, it’s an historic district of Memphis. My parents bought the house i grew up in when my mom was six months pregnant my dad was working two jobs and is the greatest dad in the world I know everyone thinks that about their dad but my dad really was even at a young age I noticed how long he would be gone for work every day twelve fifteen hours a day most the time to try and give us the best of course it wasn’t the best but it was pretty good in my eyes,  I got my work ethic from my father. He taught me to the best I could be and never give up because the job was too hard just get it done then you can complain. He never made that much money he was a pressman at a printing company an artist in a dying art he used to say, but he would break his back to the best he could. Ok back to the house I grew up in they bought in 1976 right before I was born.my brother and I grew up in this old house that was built I think around 1911 or in the twenties for sure but yea it’s that old and it’s their house. Around 2001 my brother was killed in a tragic automobile accident and i watched my parents slump into a deep depression which I did too. The house fell into disrepair during that time and that’s when the giant oak tree in the back yard started to die my dad didn’t have the motivation or the youth to deal with it after losing his oldest son, and I had a new daughter wife and another on the way I didn’t have time to fix up the house. Keep in mind were just a blue-collar family living paycheck to paycheck, one thing led to another and its 2023, I have a daughter in college and my family is broke. The giant oak tree in the back yard is dropping a limb is every storm that comes through and is destroying the roof which is leaking in certain spots. I actually have pots and buckets in the attic to catch the water when it rains. I would give anything if I could pay for the tree to come down give my mom and dad a new roof and fix(rebuild) their deck that a giant limb from the big oak demolished. The price for the tree to come down is 7500.00 and a new roof is an easy 15,000.00. The deck we could do without but since im here it would 5000.00. if anyone feels it in their heart to give, please do it all for my mom and dad both in their 70s now. All together we are looking at probably 32,500.00.  anything would be greatly appreciated. Thank You and God bless.

Hi! My name is Phillip, and I’m not one to usually ask for help. In fact I’ve spent most of my life doing right the opposite. From military service to working as a Paramedic and in ERs, I’ve tried to help others who were in need. Now, it’s I who is in need. Or, more specifically, I’m an in need in order to help my mother.

 

My father Father passed away in January 2014, followed by Step-Father in 2019. My Father was diagnosed and went down hill rapidly in 2012, and a testament to my Step-Father, it was agreed that my father come stay with both of them. He passed away January 2014.

 

The night before my Father’s Funeral, my Step-Father collapsed and I performed CPR, nearly losing him. He was taken to ER by ambulance. We stayed overnight with my Mother and he, and I went straight to Dad’s Funeral from my Step-Dad’s hospital room. My mother missed the Funeral to stay there with him. We were given his cancer diagnosis the next day.

 

They would both go on to lose battles to cancer, both in January, both days after my Birthday. Myself and my Mother took care of both of them throughout their tragic battles and passing, alternating 24/7, my mother being semi-retired, the more selflessly giving of herself. Be it exhausted or seemingly overwhelmed, she never once complained or shied away from her “responsibilities” to be there for both of them to the very end.

 

While I helped how I could, having a career, marriage and family, while traveling back and forth to stay and help her from where I lived, meant I was not there like I truly wished I could be. I took them both on their last camping and fishing trips, and to see their last College Football games. Perhaps if my siblings had helped more, it wouldn’t have taken such a toll on my Mother and both of our finances.

 

In September of 2020, with the medical bills from my Step-Dad still piled up on her, my Father’s expenses weighing on my shoulders, that I was still receiving, the worst thing that could have occurred other than her own passing, did exactly that. My mother dog sat for a very close family friend, while she was having to move after her divorce. Her 4 year old pitbull, Marley. Tragedy ensued.

 

One night, myself, my nephew and our family friend were at my mom’s playing games and cards. My mother went outside to play with and feed the friends PitBull. While we laughed and talked at the table waiting for her, she screamed to us for help. The Pit Bull had attacked.

 

I’ll save the details, and visual cues of that horrible experience, as even for someone trained in combat and with a mixed martial arts background in Aikido, Krav Maga and Jiu-Jitsu it was a life and death battle. I sustained some injuries that have eventually faded to jagged scars. And we still don’t know why the dog attacked. But my Mother was the primary outlet of the animals fury. Her left arm and hand were nearly amputated in the attack and irreparable damage was inflicted on her mangled extremity.

 

2 years later, she’s still in pain most days, limited use of her left arm, and Financials ravaged by my Step-Dad’s Funeral and Medical costs, and her own Medical bills. Then in 2022 my brother, who owns a roofing and construction company took advantage of her by getting her to file an insurance claim on her roof for his company to do the work and then took the money and ran. My mother could not bring herself to go after her own son, so that’s how that ended. With her barely avoiding am insurance fraud investigation and losing her homeowners insurance thereby possibly losing her house.

 

So, to bring an end to this story, I’ve helped every way that I can, given every spare dime I could, and ran the wheels off my truck taking extra clients, work orders and side gigs to do what I could. Literally. I burned through 2 trucks in 2 years taking jobs for clients all over the country. Breaking down in Wyoming and having to fly and leave truck and tools and fly back to Tennessee to start over. This last truck blew the engine and was $5000 for the new engine and install. Given that, I’m strapped for what else I can do.

 

My Mother still owes Medical bills for herself, we have paid off my Dad and Step-dad’s debts, the roof is in desperate need of repair as well as other areas of the house, and she risks losing her insurance again of repairs don’t start soon, and now her truck just blew its engine. So she has no way to go anywhere easily, without myself or her best friend taking her, nor the money to really pay for Ubers or Lyfts.

 

My goal is to gather the money to pay off her remaining medical bills, fix her truck or use it and some funds to trade it in and pay off a decent, dependable used car or electric vehicle, do the most critical repairs to the house required by insurance, and send her on a modest vacation with her best friend, so we can surprise her with the repairs and car when she gets back. I want to send her on a road trip across Route 66 to California and back, to see the all the splendor and Landmarks on the Mother Road. Nothing extravagant. To rent an RV and her, her best friend and myself as the chauffeur, take her on a once in a lifetime adventure, as she’s never ventured far from her home in Memphis.

 

My mother is an amazing woman and I’ve done everything I can on my own to pay her back and be there for her as she has been for me and my Fathers. And there has still been no help from my family for her. She deserves to not have to worry about her roof leaking, being able to go get milk and bread or run what errands she needs to without wondering how she will do it, or waiting on me or her friend to get off work.

 

So with our story out there for the world to see, and show how brave, compassionate and amazing a human being my mother is… I humbly and gratefully ask for help, to do this for the SuperHero I call “Mom”. I love this woman, and should this fundraiser fail, I will only try harder to get the money to give her the quality of life she deserves and the vacation she would never be able to take on her own.

 

Thank you for taking the time to consider helping me make this all come true, and for donating should you have the means to do so. I know that times are hard for most, if not all of us, but my Mother’s health was not helped by all that had happened and I just want to see her happy again and know that she never has to worry about her house being taken away or falling down around her anymore.

I’ve included my Self-Employed/Side-Gig PayPal.me below, to offer more peace of mind that this is a legit request for help.

Thank You Again!
