HI my is Stephanie. I am a single mom of 4, 2 boys, 2 girls, ages 7, 10, 13, and 16. In 2002 I came down with an unexplained pain in my abdomen that left me bed ridden for 2 years. In 2004 my OB/GYN thought he found the problem and did a total hysterectomy on me. I had been fine until June of this year. I hda been working at a job I loved with great people and bosses. In June the pain started again and I ended up missing too much work and was fired from my job. The same afternnon after I got fired I was hospitalized for a week. It turns out that I didn't need a hysterectomy at all. I have an anuerysm in my intestines that was small enough in 2002-2004 that it went un-noticed. It is larger now about 2 inches in size. It is cutting off the blood supply to that part of my intestines and has actually killed it. I am unable to work due to the fact that doing the wrong thing could cause it to rupture and kill me, leaving my 4 children motherless. The problem is, I don't qualify for Social Security Disablity either. I dont have a mortgage or anything but I am about to lose the only vehicle we have. I am 4 months behind on te payments. We live in a 2 bedroom 12x60 mobile home with only half the electricty working and the only water is in the tub. Thankfully we do have hot water. I had purchased a brand new 4 bedroom 16x80 mobile in 2000 but lost it when I was bed ridden so we had to fall back to the old trailer that was here on the property. My credit is shot from a divorce, an ex boyfriend, and illness. If anyone knows what I can do, to save my truck and get either a better home or fix up the one we are in, I would appriciate the help. I thought about Extreme Makeover Home Edition but the propety I am living on is rented from a guy that passed away 2 years ago that has no family and I have no idea how to get hold of anyone about buying it so I don't know if EM would be able to help us. Everyone I know says we should at least try but everyone on the show either owns their land or is at least buying it. I am at a loss of what to do. Can anyone please help me? I am not asking for money just some ideas on what to do.
Thanks so much for everything,
Stephanie B.
