It's strange packing all your worldly possessions thinking am I ever going to open these again. Then packing them into a storage and wondering if and when you are ever going to have them to use again . The apartment we got is a studio low income studio so will not be room for even 1/4 of what you have. And we have to sign a 1 year lease so even if we were to find a bigger apartment we are stuck in this studio. I know God will provide but I am stressing out and then on top of that feeling so crappy 24/7 doesn't help.

Let me describe to you a day in my life. Currently I do not have an address I am staying in a hotel since 9/5 what I lot my place to live. I am very sick, have been for the past year worse than ever. I have a heart and lung condition that has me whipped out 24/7. I do take meds for it but they will not cure me. I can barely walk with a walker and I rarely leave my house ( when I was there). My day usually consists of waking up from my very uncomfortable sleep. My legs are worse than ever and I am in pain all night. This is due to my heart not pumping well and causing my circulation to be bad in my lower legs. Also because I get so short of breath I am exhausted after I do anything ( like walk to the bathroom) so I mostly lay in bed all the time. This is not good for the body and my legs are weak and very stiff. It's worse after I have had to be up all day. Like packing boxes. I have gone through most everything I own and am throwing away a lot! I have a ton of jewelry making supplies I guess I am gonna sell ( although it breaks my heart). But I just can't do it anymore. So these days I contemplate my situation and it breaks my heart I can't do the things I loved like playing guitar, making jewelry and seeing my 2 year old grandson, Caleb. ❤️ I have been too sick to even make it to his birthday party. I mostly sleep ( another side effect from my heart/ lung condition). Believe me it gets pretty sick and tired of being sick and tired. I keep hoping I'm gonna get better but I don't. I am only 61 and I feel 90! I tell you all this because up to now I've carried this burden alone and definitely haven't shared. But I figure that if I come on this platform and ask for help then I'm gonna just be real about what I am going through. Maybe some one out there would appreciate something I say and I don't know maybe it would help someone. I don't want or need sympathy. My perspective is different but hopefully inspiring. God has a plan for each of us , I'm trying to figure out what His plan is for me. I got nothing but time to learn. Take care and love each other every minute of every day. Life is short and precious🙏💙💙🙏

I just wanted you to know this . When you make a donation to my gofundme you are touching so many. By helping me you are really helping my family too. I have two beautiful sons that do what they can for their sick mom but still worry. Imagine you live far away and your mom who's sick calls you and tells you how she doesn't have a safe, secure place to be. Well that's what my younger son goes through. But I tell him don't worry my love ... God will provide! This has been a lesson in faith. I have really learned to believe deep and hard that God will provide in the most desperate of times. I just wanted to tell you all that! Take care of each other❤️

Just an update for my gofundme ... Well thanks to the great people that donated I am getting another moving van/ truck on Friday rented yet another storage unit ( so much money!!!). And hired 2 guys to have us moved out of the old place and into the storage unit by the end of the weekend. I am just not much use as I get extremely short of breath and exhausted with any effort and I can't walk. Especially if I've been up all day. My legs are in such pain by the end of the day. ( They hurt so bad I can barely sleep). So I don't mean to complain but just being real . We still have a long way to go and we will find out the date we can move in this Thursday or Friday. So I will keep you all updated. Thanks for your time and consideration. God bless each and everyone of you🙏💙

This is the reality of how my heart and lung disease has changed the way I look. It has realistically taken everything from me. I can't do much without getting totally out of breath and being totally worn out. I know we all get old but I never thought I would have to suffer this much 😭. Please consider donating to my gofundme. It would bring some peace and security to my life. Thank you for your consideration and time❤️
