My name is melissa I am 58 years old, single, mother of 2, grandmother to 4.

In 2016 I had a stroke, and it seems I have one ailment after another creeping up on me

I have been hospitalized three times in this past year for diverticulitous. A horrendous , painful affliction.

I've been cut, scraped, and burnt to remove basil cell carsanoma lesions from my skin.

I just found out I've got scoliosis, which explains the pain I endure on a regular basis.

I am a waitress , and I don't make any money when I dont work. Constantly missing shifts and having no husband or partner to help has left me in a state of panic because I have no money for bills.

I am a proud woman and not asking for a handout just a little lift before I end up homeless

Any little bit will help, God bless you, melissa j elliott
