Hello, my name is Cassandra and I am a single mom of 4. I am 44 years old and I work as a health care aid in a nursing home, also I am currently working towards becoming an LPN. This has been a dream of mine and it has not been easy. When I went back to school over a decade ago I graduated with honors and was accepted into the RN program where I finished my first year but then as luck would have it I started having seizures and found out I am epileptic. Lost my license until I was 1 whole year seizure free, by the time that was all done and sorted I decided to just go for the 2 year LPN program and so I applied and was accepted immediately and of course as it would go at the end of my first year I had to have emergency gal bladder surgery and then a week later went septic because they left stones inside that created a bile leak and so back for emergency surgery again. I decided to take a break from school and just work. A little back story about my health too is I have psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, and I mean I am covered head to toe in scaly dry patches that are so itchy I could scratch my skin all off, it’s incredibly painful, and the arthritis on-top of it almost kills me. I thankfully have started a medication that helps it but only for a couple years then I need to stop it and break out completely and then try a new one. You’ve probably seen the commercials for the medications, I am now onto my 5th new one. But I’m pushing on, I was getting by until my husband decided to have his second affair on me and leave me with 4 kids and bills all on my own while he went to live for free with his parents. It’s fine, I got over it and got back to work but I don’t make near enough to keep us comfy, we are scrapping by. With my medical issues, I also get migraines that make me go blind and numb all down one side of my body and makes my brain explode for 2 days straight, I broke my teeth on a trampoline as a teenager so I have a denture that really bothers me, and to top it all off I have some cancer cells return to my cervix last week so I’ll need those to be burnt off again. I am looking for help, no, I am begging for help, for someone to maybe just show up like Ed mcman with a nice check for $50,000 that’s all I need. I don’t need millions, just enough to keep me comfy. I am working as much as I possibly can, I do get some child support, 3 of my children are adults and working or are in college so that helps a little as well. But there is so much I have to pay down and I want nothing more than to own a house, a cute small house that’s just mine. One that I can fix up and make mine so I have a place to relax and escape to when I am having bad flare ups with the skin or arthritis, or migraine, or if I need someone to stay because I am having seizures. I have no family, here comes some more sounds like whining but it’s just my past coming up. I grew up in a literal crack house where my mother would put my two sisters and I outside in the summer which gets to about 35-40 Celsius here, in just our diapers so she could strip for heroin or cocaine. My dad was a raging alcoholic who tried his best some times and other times he was angry and very abusive but he passed away 2 years ago. Because of my parents and their addictions I didn’t have any family around, they didn’t want anything to do with my parents therefore had nothing to do with me. I have 3 sisters and 2 brothers all of which have their own struggles and therefore can’t help me out. I am desperate to go back to school to finish my nursing but I can’t because I have maxed out allowed student loans in Alberta due to leaving because of medical. I know it sounds terrible to ask for a hand out but I am so tired of struggling and not being able to give my children anything, I’ve never been able to take them on a trip or do up their rooms because I never owned a house before….that’s all I really want, I want to buy a house, doesn’t even need to be anything fancy, I want to help my kids in college, and I want to be able to go to school and finish doing what I love and not have to worry about taking out more loans and working ontop of full time classes and being a mom. I guess what I’m looking for is anyone who could help me out with anything. And I know there are so many people out there who deserve help and deserve to get everything they have ever dreamed of but I think I do too. I volunteer where and when I can, I always donate to charities, I’m there for anyone, anytime, no questions asked. Ideally, and I’m going to be blunt, I would love to get anywhere from $10-$80,000 (which is about what I owe in student loans 😬🥺 Or I’ll take cash and maybe someone could donate a house or help me get a house, I don’t know, I just know I’m tired of struggling and everytime I think I’m getting a head or I’m finally going to get to live the life I want something happens and kicks me while I’m down. I’ve never done anything like this before, I have never asked for a handout or taken anything from anyone and this is very hard for me to do but I need to or we will be living in my little Rogue and with 5 of us that would not be comfy. So please from the bottom of mine and my children’s hearts, please help me if you can.
Thanks so much for taking the time to read this,
