Where should I begin? I am a mother of 6 kids who has been married for 8 years. Everything in my life was perfect in my eyes until August 2006. At which that time our home burned to the ground, we lost everything but we were all okay. In January 2007 I lost my mother who just celebrated her 42nd bday. She passed b/c of her obesity and cirosis of the liver. Due to the stress of losing my mother I went into labor and had a 2lb son on Feb 7th 2007 who has as of now been through 13 surgerys and came very close to death a few times. In April 2007 my stepfather passed away at the age of 46 due to a heart attack, In may of 2007 my father passed away at the age of 48 due to a heart attack. The year rounded out losing my great uncle, uncle, great aunt then Grandma in December of 2007. Between all the funerals and the house burning down my family has not yet been able to financially recover. We have been living in a small trailer with holes in it for two years now. I was told if I didnt lose weight I would be down the same road my family was. I do not have any insurance and no way to afford the surgery that doctors say is the only way going to get me where I need to be. I do not have the transportation to be able to haul all of my children around with me. My wishes for my family are to be able to get them in a home that they dont have to worry about getting rained on every time it rains, being able to have the transportation to haul them around, and being able to afford to buy them something nice. I also wish that I would be able to get the weight loss surgery so I can be around for many more years.
