Good morning I pray this finds all well my name is Cassandra and I’m posting this late in the season I know and just short of a miracle and low on hope I have found myself unable to provide my wees with a Xmas this year. I have 4 kids ages 15,13,2, and 3mths I was recently I in the ICU at my local hospital 23 days after my son was born for 11 days and then another 5 on the regular floor I was admitted due to the fact my pulse ox was 89 when I arrived and I soon found out I have CHF, Peripartium cardiomyopathy and mitral valve regurgitation acute now mind you I’m 37 I lost my dad at 16 he was 34 CHF My mom at 19 she was 38 CHF so you can imagine how blessed I am to live with my heart issues I have been unable to work due to my Dr. finding it in the best interest of my health and the dangers it imposes upon my already overworking heart with mitral valve regurgitation it simply means my flap in my valve that opens and closes on a normal valve letting fresh blood in and through mine is leaky and just as it sounds regurgitates the old blood causing my heart to work harder to get blood pumped to it acute in the name you would think means minor or short term but in fact it is a term used for prolonged or major meaning mine is a huge factor in my heart functioning at 33.7% thus for doc says no go I have applied for disability but much to my demise I am in the appeal process as first timers are almost always denied and I now have to undergo the lengthy process and waiting time for my lawyer to try again for me. In the meantime I have depleted my savings and am barely able to stay afloat it has dampered my ability to be able to get Xmas gifts for my kids and because of what I made this year before August 15 when my son was born I wasn’t able to be considered for any type of assistance which I don’t understand but neither here nor there I am sickened and broken hearted to think they very well may not have presents Xmas morning my kids are gbgb so my 2 year old is in her first time understanding stage and I am pained to my core with the thought of her waking up to nothing what do I do what does one say?? I have been fortunate enough to always be able to provide for my kids and now I am unable and it’s so much to digest and I have swallowed my pride and I have tried to utilize resources I have found which is how I came to be writing this post and praying someone who reads it is willing to be my babies miracle for Xmas and my savings grace I have been praying on this and I only know to worry about nothing pray about everything so I am letting go and I am letting God ! I hope all have a safe and blessed holiday season thank you for taking your time to read this may you stay healthy and stay blessed I have put together an Amazon wishlist if anyone can please find it in their hearts to assist in our time of need I will gladly send it to you I also have a Walmart list any thing is more than appreciated stay safe and stay blessed Merry Christmas all.
Kind Regards,
Cassandra Taylor
