Personal

Good day, my name is Suzette. I am 49 years old, a mother of two boys, ages 14 & 6 and they are my whole world! I have been progressively getting sicker since my eldest son's birth (epidural c-section), 14 years ago. Walked into hospital as healthy as can be, walked out a mess and sickly. I have been diagnosed now with Lupus and I have some other medical issues as well, and I have been going to a state hospital for the last 6 years, since my youngest was born. Have not received any real help yet. Two weeks before my youngest was born, I was "Let go due to illness " by my then employer, and have not been able to find work yet. I only found out about the baby when I was six months pregnant, as I was on medication (HRT) and tranquilizers due to severe rigors attacks that began after the first c-section.  He was not planned, but he is a very special blessing from God! 

 

My struggle is not only my health situation,  but also my home life. I need to get myself and my sons into a safe environment. We need to move out, closer to their schools and start over.  I need to give my son's the peacefull and loving life they deserve and desperately need. That i desperately need! My health has been holding me back from fulfilling this goal. 

 

We will need to start over, will need basics (furniture/fridge, bed, etc) and food and rent/petrol money, money for school fees. I need a permanent,  stable job,  with an income that will sustain us, as I know that no money will come from the spouse to support us. It is a very, very tall order to ask for! And finding a job that will employ me not being healthy and strong as I use to be, with a decent salary is probably way over the top, but I do believe that it can happen. 

 

As a mother, I have to do the right thing for the children's futures. They have to feel safe, have food, medicine, education and be loved, it is their human right! So as a mother, I am begging for financial help for my children's sake, if their are still good people out there, please help me to better my boy's futures. I know there are millions of people out there with the same situation,  my story is not special, it won't stand out, but my children are special and their lives matter. 

 

I pray God's blessings over each one reading my story, and I thank you for your time.
