Hello, My name is Haley G. and I am a recent graduate with my Master’s degree in Interior Design.
I was the first in my family to go to a 4 year college, and earn a 4 year degree and a masters degree. I moved out of my parents house after graduation and got a job at a Design and architecture firm in Chicago!
I am loving my job, and I am making just enough money to get by and take care of myself. The issue is with me having to support my parents too. I am getting by, but I don’t have extra money to help my parents who so desperately need financial help.
My dad was diagnosed with Digenerative Disc Disease at the age of 16 and has struggled his whole life to support out family. Just recently, he saw a new doctor, one who was skeptical that the only issue my dad was having was a result of the degenerative disc disease. This doctor advocated for my dad and tried really hard to grt to the root of all my dads pain. Turns out he has a autoimmune condition known as Ankylosing Spondylitis. This condition is disabiling and dabilitating over time and he stated that my dads case was the worst he has ever seen in over 30 years of practicing. The disease causes muscles to harden and calcify, causes immflamation and nerve pain, and worst of all it causes your bones to fuse together, namely the spine. The disease also increases cardiovascular health risk, and causes a plehtora of other symptoms. My dad now has to be on weekly bio-injections that cost $3000 each before insurance. After insurance they are a bit more doable, but nevertheless the medical expenses are putting a toll on my family.
My dad was working in car insurance up until last year, struggling to get through each day, but he did so because my mother is a teacher and didn’t make enough to make ends meet without his additional income on top of hers. Last year our world was flipped upside down when his employer decided to part ways with him and do large amounts of layoffs. My dad looked for other jobs, struggled, and decided to use the 26 weeks of unemployment checks to keep them afloat meanwhile he filed for disability. His doctor always tells him he should have been on disability since he was in his late 30’s with how terrible his condition is. He simply cannot work anymore. The 26 weeks of unemployment have subsided leaving my family struggling trying to survive off of my mom’s $16 per hour wage as a teachers assistant.
I am only 24 years old, and barely afloat myself, drowning in my own expenses and my student loan debt from college. I want nothing more than to be able to help support my parents financially but I cannot do it on my own. I need the help from people like you!
He is the hardest working person I know even though it literally kills him everytime he moves a muscle. Please consider helping donate to me and my family. All proceeds raised will be given directly to my parents so that they can pay their mortgage and medical bills and focus on healing together. 🧡🥺
