I love what I do. I work at our county hospital. I help patients with low income, no income, insured with high copays receive their needed medication at little to no cost. I’ve been doing this for over 10 years now. Before this, I was a stay at home mom, supported my husband build his business and raise our 2 kids, now 26 and 17. I stayed in a what I didn’t know was an emotionally/mentally abusive relationship for about 20 years. Finally realizing, “this is wrong”. Scared and worried I left with my 8 yr old daughter. I had no support from my mom/family. Being with my husband “financially benefited” everyone. I’ve since got into another relationship similar to my marriage that I’ve recently ended. Finding myself at rock bottom again. I’ve taken out loans adding up to $5000 and borrowed on my vehicle, another $8000. It’s all increased with late fees on top. I have $1100 rent due today, I’m $800 short. I’m trying to stay above water but everything is piling up. I have a heart pacemaker for 10 years and I’ve lived an active normal life along with my daughter. Needing surgery for about 2 years now but it’s very risky so I do the best I can to take care of myself. My daughter is very active in sports and I do all I can to make things happen for her to live as normal as possible. I’ve seen my patients struggle and still put on a smile and I find myself doing that everyday now. I’m drowning and lost looking for “how am I going to pay the next bill”. I want to get back on my feet. And just want to continue on with the time I have growing and striving for a better life for my kids. I appreciate the time you’ve taken to read some of my story.
