We are grandparents who have been raising three grandchildren for the past ten years. Two years ago I fell ill and needed advanced life support to breathe. I was diagnosed with severe anemia; having a hemoglobin level of 5.4. Low normal is 12. I needed to spend three days in the ICU and have continued to struggle to keep my hemoglobin at a high enough level to not need a blood transfusion. Over the last two years I have been hospitalized an additional three times for critical hemoglobin levels. I have not been able to work and our bills, including medical bills, are piling up. I have tried to go out and work and have been unable to due to extremely low energy levels and weakness. We are now two months behind on our mortgage and car payments. Without help we may lose our family home and our very necessary vehicles. We made a commitment to raise our grandchildren and as they are entering in high school find our finances lacking to meet needs. We only need help to catch up on our bills. My spouse works, but we are finding it impossible to catch up. We are asking for $3,500 to meet these needs. Thank you in advance for your generosity. www.paypal.me/MCOLEMAN869
