Single Mom Who Had 2 Strokes, Colon Cancer and Heart Surgery

I am a 55-year-old single mom with a 16-year-old daughter. I've always kept a job and worked to provide for myself and my daughter. Recently, I had 2 strokes, was diagnosed with Stage 3 Colon Cancer and had to have a Sigmoid Colectomy surgery, then Open Heart Quadruple Bypass surgery all within 2 years. I have not been able to work, and I've struggled financially. I've had help from family and friends, but it's only so much they can do, and they've done well for 2 years. I am currently in cardiac rehab and constantly seeing my doctors. I am working very hard to recover and regain my health as I want to be alive to see my daughter grow up. I am begging for assistance to pay rent for this year ($19,000) to pay off my car loan ($2500) and to pay off debt ($15,000) Waiting for disability is taking time. I am praying that I will be able to work from home while recovering. Please, I'm asking, if anyone would please help me through this season of my life. My biggest concern is that I am my child's only caregiver...she is very smart, a good girl who doesn't get into trouble. This has taken a toll on her because of her fear of losing me. She lost her brother last year, and she attempted suicide once before due to my divorce from her father. She's in therapy and now maintaining A's in her school. I want her to continue doing well and not have to worry about me dying, or evictions anymore. I am trusting God for healing and provision. I truly want to one day be able to give to others as others are giving on this site. I know what it's like to struggle and to be afraid of losing everything and your child has to go through it, not because you're necessarily a bad parent, but because things happen, sickness happened and it's out of my control. If anyone decided to help me through this storm of life, it would definitely help me to get back on my feet and turn things around for me and my daughter. Thank you in advance for your generosity and giving hearts. Blessings to each and every one of you who gives because you care.
