Disabled child and single mother asks for help

I don't know what it means to be healthy. But I do know what it means to struggle with illness in my first breath. It just so happens. I came into this world already with health problems. The birth diagnosis was a cerebral vascular anomaly with the threat of massive hemorrhage on rupture. And only thanks to my parents it did not prevent me from living a full life, getting married, and giving birth to a beautiful son. But every year my health condition was getting worse, and there were more and more side diseases. A few years ago I found out that it was possible to alleviate my suffering through neurosurgery in Israel. Since then, I was living with the hope of reducing the risk of dying, and I would be able to see the birth of my grandchildren. I believed that only Israel would help me. My husband betrayed me and left me, to my deep sorrow, when he heard about my intention to immigrate. Two and a half years ago, my son and I made aliyah. Israel welcomed me perfectly. We settled in Acre. I quickly found a good apartment and a good job and started to prepare for the surgery. My son went to school, he got used to it quickly, he was very much praised and had a good record. There are only two colors in my life - white and black There is no way to make it a rainbow. Health problems rule everything. Three months after moving, my health condition worsened so much that I had to undergo a very difficult unscheduled surgery, following complications. But I didn't give up. When I came out of the hospital, I made every effort to recover and get on my feet, to regain at least a few percent of my lost ability to work. I spent almost two years undergoing medical treatment. I had no savings. I had to find money to support my son, to pay the rent, insurance, rehabilitation procedures, food, clothes, and vitally important medicines. That's why I was forced to take out a loan. Since I was not working, there was no money to cover the loan and the interest. The bank seized my accounts and imposed sanctions. I can't find a way out of this situation by myself, so I am turning to you in the Fund. This courageous and very respectable disabled woman needs our help. Let's help her get out of the debt trap!
