大家好，我是Catherine Lam，動畫設計的畢業生。2009年我就跟隨父母從加拿大搬到香港。不過家裏有很多金錢上及人際關係上的問題，以至父母的關係並不融合。現在我是依靠著問朋友借來的錢獨自生活。

My name is Catherine Lam, I was a former animation student a year ago and graduated last year. I came from a Nuclear family which had a lot of issues managing money and interpersonal relationships. Over the years after we moved over to Hong Kong in 2009, two decades have gone by and my parents relationship along with mine have deteriorated to the point where currently now, I am living on borrowed money from my friends.

目前，我沒有任何儲蓄。兩年前，我找到工作後就被父母從家中趕出來，當時我的銀行存款接近0，而且薪金也不高。幸好當時得到一些朋友及親戚（但他們目前並未能幫助我）的幫助，因此我能維持我的生活。一開始被父母趕出來時，我曾到不同朋友的家中暫住，但他們也有自己的生活，所以我決定問他們借錢，去找房屋租住，以及生活開支。剛畢業的我完全沒有估計過這個情況。

Currently, I have no savings, I had a low salary job and I got kicked out of my home two years ago with 0 in my bank. In the very beginning I had nothing but my friends, and some of my relatives (currently my relatives are not able to help) who helped me. In the very beginning I stayed around different friends homes but some time after, that wasn't possible as my own friend's families had their own issues to deal with. I had to borrow money from them to find a place to live, eat and so on so forth. This all happened while I was about to graduate so I had no idea that this would have ever happen it was all unexpected.

現在，有些朋友會減少對我的支援。雖然他們會盡力幫助我，包括陪伴我去醫院作檢查。但我的朋友始終還是學生，我不能太過依賴他們。

At present, every now and then my friends would drop supplies and help escort me to the hospital every other day for my appointments. They come when they are available but they themselves need money to survive and most of them are still students.

我的膝蓋和腳踝已傷了一個月（腳踝的傷已接近全癒）：

Its been one month since I had gotten my knee and ankle injury.

(the ankle injury has healed up to 90% by now) I have a :

• Discoid deformity in the lateral meniscus with diffuse grade 2 changes.
• The Body of the lateral meniscus has extruded with focal truncation.
• The Patella has grade 2 chondromalacia with joint effusion.

I need to make sure I don't cause any unnecessary movement to the right lower leg while staying stable on the ground/any surface. that means no twisting or any turns in general. it can only bend 90 degrees and no further with the hinged knee brace. When I stand up, I must shift all my weight on my left leg. if I put weight on the right knee it will be painful and I'll fall onto the ground. To stand up, I'll need support from my arms which I would need to latch onto something stable to help assist propel me upward to stand up.

I will be having surgery on 19/2/2020 for the discoid meniscus the doctor told me that It'll take around 1 to 2 months to heal.

Another thing I have are food and skin allergies. I can not have certain types of food the range from fruits, to nuts, to MSG and even some vegetables from the nightshade family. Fried foods is something I can not eat too much of either, due to my skin as it'll cause the skin to become itchy and red in the long run. I have to use a certain type of body lotion, body wash and shampoo so that it does not cause any irritation to my skin.

At present, I am struggling to find a solution for my rent, and daily necessities such as food, shampoo, body wash so on so forth.

If you have read up until here, I thank you so much for your time and I hope you can help me. I accept any help may it be prayers or donations for me as of now and forever, any help will always be help. I thank you dearly and this injury has changed my life honestly .

Here is some family background for more reference:

Around 4 to 3 years ago I had found out about my mothers affair which she had with a Malaysian man who self proclaimed to sell gems and gave him money. Soon after, she fell in love and got cat fished by another man whom she is now married with and is in the process of sponsoring him here in Hong Kong to get this Hong Kong Identity Card (HKID card).

She met this online guy and got cat fished, she sent money that she didn't have. She sold the jewellery she had gotten for as gifts at her previous wedding with my biological father she sent around 80K HKD but still declines this even till today. I struggled to convince my mother to see that the Malaysian man was nothing but a catfish and only wanted her money. After many attempts, with her money running more low then ever, she finally opened her eyes. The Malaysian man kept giving my mother false hope about visiting her in Hong Kong and he never came.

At the same time, during the end of that affair with the Malaysian man my mother met another man online from Facebook. I had convinced my mother to see that the Malaysian man was nothing but a catfish and only wanted her money. But I failed to help convince my mother that the man on Facebook which she met was nothing more then a refugee who wanted to marry my mother for the Canadian passport, along with the HKID.

Later on, my mother and this man she met on Facebook had met up a few times and my mother fell in love she was blindly infatuated with this man. My mother likes the rush and attention she gets from men chasing after her. During early-mid February 2018 that's was when my biological father had found out about my mothers cheating habits/affair with my current step father. My father blames me for being the cause to why my mother had started affairs with other men.

From my own understanding over the years, I have seen my loving mother change from someone who cares deeply for her daughter to someone that would prioritize another man they had just met online and pour out everything for him rather then a family member who she has known for 23 years of her life. It honestly breaks my heart to see this happen and unfold. I was saddened by this years ago but currently as far as I can see, even now at my current state where I am basically homeless, she declines to help me and tells me she has no money.

My mother was someone who would be selfless when she needed to be. she tried her best as she could.I saw her as a best friend and I still saw her as a mother, respected and loved her. I was there for her during her mental breakdowns over the years. After she had me, she didn't work up until I was in higher diploma and that was when she started another life of her own. She was learning but due to the fact she was caged up at home for around 2 decades meant that she lost the ability to tell who in the outside world was fake, and who was real. My biological father didn't want her to work and he feared she would met other men or do something stupid.

In April 2018 I had found out that my parents were going to divorce and later on in early September, I went homeless and lived in different friend's homes for awhile.

Currently my step father, is jobless and he relies on my mother for everything he has been jobless for around a year or now and they are both still waiting for his working visa to be approved. He decided to quit his under table job due to my mother consistently nagging him to go home earlier each single day.This was after they married.
