I need to get my mom to Canada with me, (Joy Murphy Pelletier aka Tee-Tee-Red!) It started March 3rd 2007 when my sister passed away leaving my 70 year old mother to take care her 9 year old son, living in Miami Florida. I live in Canada and my brother lives in Iowa. Our paths have lead us all different directions, I'm in Canada because I met the love of my life 19 years ago and she is Canadian. So I moved there and started a family. My brother is in Iowa due to his career and is always on the road. My mothers plan was to move to Canada to be closer to me so I could help her, but my nephew being parent less that my sister died and never knew who his father, got into trouble at school and turned into a legal matter. My mother saw that Miami was not a good place to be and could not leave the country until the legal matters were finished in may of 2013. So she moved to Louisiana to live with a friend. When she arrived the friend she thought she had turned out to be a mean person to her and her grandson, so she moved on her own. They were ok and were surviving until she suffered a severe stroke which has left her hospitalized. Her insurance and Medicare don't cover all her needs and the doctors want to put her into a state nursing home. The state child services called me and gave me the day to come and get my nephew. I am not financially able to get there in a day and he is staying with a family friend that has been helping as much as she can, So they took him a property of the state of Louisiana, and with the grace of god they were able to put him in the care of the same people that were watching him. The steps have been started to have him come and live with me in Canada. Now my mother is stranded in a Louisiana hospital, unable to speak or eat, a plug has been put in her belly so she can get nutrition. I need her to come here with me. I am a cancer survivor! I have just passed my 5 year mark from having a few tumors burned out of my head and a year of vigorous chemotherapy. I lost everything and have been living with the help of the government health pension program to pay my bills and rent, I have recently been offered a job in a printing advertising company that will be very good and plenty of opportunities. I have two children one in high school and one in junior college. It cost me over 10,000$ to be able to stay and work here. I don't know what I am going to do. I can only afford to drive down this week and put her belongings in storage. I will speak to the doctors and start the applications to have her and my nephew come here. But we are only surviving, I do everything I can to make sure everyone is fed, school fees and good clean close are taken care of. My mom needs help! I need help! Please help us! I know asking for 50,000$ is a lot, but anything and everything counts. Life is very expensive and it's always about the money who is going to survive! :(
