Mini-Profile

I HAVE SENT THIS CHRISTMAS REQUEST SO MANY TIMES I CANT EVEN COUNT IT AND KNOW I MUST BE A PAIN, BUT IF THERE IS ANY POSSIBILITY TO HELP MY MOTHER -
I come to you humbly for my mother’s sake. Please help her if you can. Since my father passed away in 2004 I had tot take care of her and my son of 14 Ivan. Her name is Augusta and she always used to be such a giving and loving person towards total strangers. I will never forget how she once stopped next to a street child and took a brand new jersey she bought for my dad and gave it to the street child. How she always gives money to the people along the road. My child’s exactly the same. I have been struggling as a single mother and one Christmas I bought him a expensive toy car. One of the street kids along the road started crying for the car and without a thought he gave the car to this crying boy.

Well in any ways, my mom has had a crappy childhood and suffered from her heart all her live - since she was 12 years old. Now something even worse has happened and I do not know what to do anymore to make things better for her. She went to a government hospital due to a bad headache and was given 14 countable lumbar punches - leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. She has no control over her bladder of colon. She will never walk again. She used to be so full of love and energy and now she has not only lost the opportunity to walk anymore but she’s losing her self as well due to being stuck in a bed all the time day and night. Her body constantly hurts from lying and she has 2 bad bedsores. Please i beg of you she longs to have a some kind of a meaning live. Please i stay in a very small place and due to this I can’t move her around. We almost never have food in the house and she does not deserve this. Please you are welcome to come to my home and look for yourself. I have a lady that I fetched from the Salvation Army (Wendy) to provide her with a roof over her head and food in her mouth and someone she can call family. I believe she is send from above for she helps me to take care of my mother while I try to work for food and to pay my rent. We have for months had to rely on donations from here and there and I feel embarrassed to even mention my own pain - but all I ask is for you to give my mother and boy one special Christmas.

We can take the matter to court due to the doctor’s negligence, but I do not have the money for it and to be honest - nor my mother or I are mad at this doctor - disappointed and sad but not mad. I just hope and pray to God that this won’t happen to someone else. One never knows what a terrible thing it is to go through until it happens to you or one of your loved ones. My mother is so special and my child so deprived of what a child should have in live, he’s father has no care or love for him and broke him to such an extend that he had to get psychiatric help, just when he got over that this happened. It has been 6 months now. I can not afford to pay my rent and buy food anymore due to the high costs of my mother’s medical goods.

I can not bare to see her suffer anymore and to see my child trying to be so brave – but seeing the longing for sweets, and getting out of the house for a change – just having fun – being a kid. My mother’s mattress she is lying on is full of holes and does not support her body the way it should.

Please help them, please. I beg you.

Even if this wish does not come true I admire and praise you for the wishes you do grant and hope God bless all of you.
