I am a 52 yr old single female. I live in Alabama. I have been a 911 dispatcher, now a supervisor for 30 years. I was married for 17 years, and during my divorce found out my daughter was molested by my husband (her step father). We had our retirement all planned out, until he decided he wanted to retire with someone else. So I am working 12 hour shifts and rebuilding my life. But that’s not the issue. My daughter contracted Lyme disease, and has suffered immensely. She can’t live alone anymore and moved in with me in 2021, and as her illness has progressed she had to stop working. She is 23 and not living a 23 yrs Olds life. She barely can get out of bed some days. Spends her time vomiting, hurting, and saying ” I can’t live like this anymore” so I’m a care giver to her. I have a 59 yr old brother who has Autism. He does fairly well but needs daily care. So I am not only his caregiver, but im his friend, his sister, his only form of life outside these walls. I love him to death. I love them both to death, but im tired. I work 12 hrs shifts, I am constantly in an anxious state wondering which one I will be at the emergency room with next. I have paid my bills and my daughter’s bills until I’m broke. I have had to let the bills go. Her medical costs are so much. I do carry insurance on her, but not many people accept insurance when it comes to Lyme disease. I have been going strong until last month. I fell, and while I wasn’t hurt bad, it kind of made me realize how bad I had let myself go. I don’t care for myself physically, emotionally, medically at all. I put them both first. I’m asking for anything that anyone can give. I have medical bills, I drive a 2005 ford focus, that is blessing me with almost 300k miles. She keeps going, and like me won’t give up, but could use some maintenance. I just want to be able to pay my bills and take care of these two wonderful people in my life. I don’t like asking anyone for anything, but I have come to the realization that I can’t do it all on my own. My daughter uttered the words that she is tired of living like she is, and there has to be things we haven’t tried…and there are, but they cost more than I can do. I will dedicate my life to these two. I just have to be able to pay for it. I want to move into a house that we all three can live in comfortably, but i need to sell this one first and i never k ew how much it costs to sell your house! Yes my brother gets a small amount of disability. (That’s a long story) and it helps with his care. It’s the mental tole it takes on me. I’m unable to do my best for him sometimes because I’m so tired. He is so loving and understanding. He gives great hugs, but im exhausted. One of my saving graces are my two dogs that i have had since 2013. They are my unconditional love that i know will always be there, but they need vet care that i cant afford. I just need help. Please lend a helping hand. Anything will help. Thank you!
