Hello all, at the 16 I had my fist kid and was kicked out of my adoptive parents home and forced to raise the baby on my own, because of this I told myself I will not be a statistic and prove everyone wrong that thinks I will be, I lost friends and family and was forced to become and adult. I do not regret a moment and have been resilient because of it. I have over come domestic violence, graduated high school got my associates degree. When my son turned 3 his dad was shot and killed (random not targeted act of violence) and was forced to continue life as a single mom with no help. My son is now in high school doing very well in school and I climbed my way up to the top starting as a server and becoming manager of the restaurant,I bought my first home and have showed my son nothing should hold you back. but as of lately I have been extremely sick, and the doctors do not know what is wrong I have lost 80 pounds in less then a year and have all types of blood problems and high blood pressure issues at the age of 32. Which has led me to not be able to work and pay bills. I do not want to lose my home, and I want to be able to properly be able to take care of my son. I would be very appreciative of any type of help! Thank you for listening to my story!
