My Mom and Sister Died. I Could Lose Everything

That was Samuel. He wasn't patient and turned around real quick before the picture. He and Sarah were precious. Probably a thousand people pet him while he threw his head back to hollar. The important thing is that they got to hear about the grace and love of Christ .
I'm a fan of Poppy.
She reminds me of Sarah and Sarah so much!

I'm sorry that GoFundMe automatically deducted a tip. This is my first time raising funds and didn't think they did that. From what I remember from the videos and the website, they were supposed to offer it as an option as to the "tip."
I will check into that.

So cute!

So cute!

This link contains terminology that may help you.

It is written to include references to Texas property. However, the terminology is standard with regard to delinquency.

Deferral may be an option. That's where your tax deadline is extended to a future date so you can save the monies owed.


This may help. Copied from the link.

"

• Property Tax Loan: If you take out a property tax loan, the lien on your property is transferred to a property tax lender, and all municipal collection actions applicable to your property taxes cease. The lender will pay your property tax obligation (including the tax amount, interest, and penalties) to the applicable county or tax office and work with you to determine an appropriate repayment plan. A property tax loan can give you peace of mind knowing that your property taxes are settled, you will not suffer the consequences of delinquency, and you can pay your obligation in a manner suited to your needs."

I wish you the best. Between the time you said you received the back taxes notice and the pending sale date is not typical of the process for delinquent property tax debts.

I definitely am surrounding you in prayers.
God will provide. *Hugs

Mine weren't raised to be pets like most of us would, but for their special purpose. Many would ask about getting an exotic for a pet, but I would usually stear them to dogs or maybe cats. You've probably raised something. What kind of pets have you owned?

I have a friend who set one up on my behalf. Perhaps I should start a thread for this separate from this one?
What do you think?

I was in a deep depression from the loss of my Mom, sister and loss of career with invested life savings. Fortunately, things are going to be better and my emotional/ mental outlook has improved.

Months ago I quit working to care for my Mom and have been living on my own savings. The focus has been on her because she was more important than stuff money can buy. Unfortunately, I slipped into not caring for myself and went from a healthy man who let malnutrition, stress and her killer (the Dr) cause me stress induced Cardiomyopathy, venous inflammation, heart arrhythmias, many symptoms of cancer and severe sleep deprivation, focus/ memory problems, anemia from blood loss and now an ear and jaw infection. I refuse to become a another medical victim and trust that the Lord will heal me altogether, but it is taking time. He is clearly providing answers as I seek.

The short of it is that in the midst and aftermath of the trauma, I recently received a notice that says my property/ home is going to be sold October 31st. I need immediate assistance and there are no agencies that I can find to help.

The prairie dog I'm holding is from a picture back when I had Noah's Ark Ministries and used all kinds of animals from around the world to lead others to Christ.

Proverbs 3:5-6

I was raised in a large family with a sister who was deathly allergic to feather fur and dander, so we did not have typical pets, although there was a cat at one point, who decided life was better by far at the neighbour's house, than being mauled by so many children LOL.
😆
I had a rabbit, and a sister or two had a few rabbits after that first one, and we had a number of chickens (not mine), plus I had white mice, and fish. My brother had an iguana. Some of those things were not very cute or adorably amusing like some critters can be.

Rabbits can be sweet, but they are usually like Bugs Bunny in my limited experience.
Lol😄

When I was nine my dad brought home four baby raccoons from his parents' farm, and we had two of them for about four years. I was their main care-giver, feeding them every day, taking them for walks, grooming them, etc. I don't think I can see the scar on my left arm any more from the time I was putting the food bowl down and one of them rushed out and latched onto my arm. Heh. I held up my arm and it just dangled there so I punched her off. That would have been Charlie.

Ouch! That hurts just from thinking about it. I can feel your pain. Their jaws are powerful. They can crunch smaller animals.

Ferocious was much more amenable than Charlie, who could be a little unpredictable. I always knew they were wild animals even though I had a pretty good relationship with them. Even my cat acts a bit wild sometimes LOL.

Those were huge racoons !



^ Me with Ferocious, probably the last time she was ever in the house.

Aww, you were so precious!
Thanks for sharing this special chapter of your life.

Thank you! I am always a bit amazed when I see those pictures, at how large Ferocious was compared to me at that age, as she really does look to be the size of my torso, and I know how sharp their teeth were, and that she could have easily ripped off my face or done a lot of damage had she desired. So also the pic speaks to me of the trust I had in her, and existed between us, and she was pretty good with me. I did see both of them and feed them and do other things that amounted to me looking after them more than anyone else in the family. When they were babies everyone loved them except my mother, they wanted to cuddle her fuzzy slippers lol while she was busy in the kitchen, heh that is such an amusing memory. And then as they aged and got bigger, mostly others wanted to have nothing to do with them, they were afraid or just not interested. I remember walking them one time and a neighbor friend of my younger sisters tried to pull Charlie out of a tree she had climbed, as if she were a pet like a household cat. Um, no, you cannot do that! Charlie would sit on my shoulders with her front paws on the top of my head like you see raccoons sometimes doing. She was the one who ate my first pet mouse. LOL. Oops!

Dear brothers and sisters,

It's been a long time since I asked prayers for Mom. I stopped as I was getting depressed reinforcing the tragic events in my mind by writing in my journal and here as well. Our forum has been a blessing in redirecting my depressed mind/ thoughts from the daily stresses that caused my health serious decline beyond what I can handle.
The other topics and funny videos helped me to refocus and be like a normal person at those times and helps me sleep. However my Mom died and you deserve to be filled in on her outcome as you are my true brothers and sisters.

Many of you prayed for my Mom who fell off her couch while sleeping and cut her head on the coffee table. She was eating and drinking fine, very independent and well up to this point.
Her neighbor friend called an ambulance. Had I known, I would have bandaged and treated the cut and she would've been just fine and doing well today.
I've done surgical wound treatments from serious bites, deep tears, crush injuries, puncture wounds and have always had successful results on wildlife and on domestic animals as surgical asst/ tech for an animal hospital.

A simple superficial laceration on the forehead is no reason for umpteen tests, scans and padding insurance bills beyond ridiculous. In fact that is what often leads to harm by the Medical hospital money machine.

The love of money is the root of all evil. An evil MD at the ER threatened Mom to submit to admission to be admitted to stay against her will. My half brother refused to contact me until he realized she was put into a dire situation he couldn't handle over a week later!
They claimed she had aspiration pneumonia.
IF that was the case, then she would be better off at home under my care than those worthless butchers.
I have had multiple consultations with much better physicians concerning Mom's treatment. I could have handled it myself with an occasional break from my brother and his family. I was bluntly told excuses why none of the 4 of them would help. I decided to do so all by myself. Money can be replaced, but family is special, especially MOM!

A nurse in front of me as I kneeled next to Mom said to the one taking notes with a physician nearby and other staff that "she heard the tablet go down the wrong way."

Folks, That did not cause a cough or gag reflex. I was right there and did not hear a thing, however it was the excuse they needed for a move to the medical ICU Unit at the teaching hospital. I asked the physician there some questions that he was extremely scared about and decided to give me some obviously pre-rehearsed spiel.

The procedure was mapped out. She would be vented, then the policy is the second ventilator inserted directly into her lungs through her mouth. That would be followed by a tracheostomy where they would cut her throat and insert a tube through the neck. I objected to all if this, giving sound reasons, however my Mom made the deadly choice of making my half bro the medical power.
The procedure was done while I was in the waiting room early morning because I spent the night.

I have many pages of notes that I will spare for sake of brevity. I'm sorry to those who followed my previous prayer request thread that I stopped abruptly. I was extremely stressed and tired from lack of sleep at that point. I also had concerns about the possibility of making a mistake that would be used against me if I decided to sue. I never wanted to sue, I just wanted Mom back home to recover from the trauma and incredible suffering that the "health care professionals" caused us.

To get my first post under the word length limit, I have to break this long post into two parts. Sorry if there's a break in continuity.
I will try to keep it clear by leaving the intro and closing prayer requests. The rest will be in the second post.


Since they medically murdered her, I have been trying to gather evidence. I will get no help from anyone so I must gain strength to accomplish that as one of my goals. Please pray for my speedy and complete recovery. Since then I have had many problems that I never discussed or asked for prayers. I need help though. I wouldt go to some MD if I had a million dollars, so I have been studying the best God-given Natural based free information I can find online and take the appropriate classes there.

I am very grateful for you, my brothers and sisters that in reality are family members. I don't know how I can see my half brother as when we were children now after all that. It is truly sad to lose him too.
My natural family is gone now, but the Lord reminds me of my family of believers in Christ.
I won't list all requests, but the highlights for prayer are the following.

1. I had many symptoms of turbo cancer. I lost a lot of blood from internal bleeding. My intestines quit working for a time. God has corrected that. I can now digest food. The bleeding and blockage has healed. Praise the Lord!

2. No appetite. However I eat a scheduled meal every day for strength. Most of the time it's rice and beans, and often some meat. I felt guilty about eating and list my appetite since whatever week Mom was in the hospital, but I do like to talk food as it helps a lot.

3. Heart condition. Stress Induced Cardiomyopathy. The short of it is that my heart is inflamed as are my blood vessels. My heart is badly misshapen with the left side enlarged while the right is weak and atrophied. The left side tries to compensate for the right. The right ventricle valve is weak too. I had fribulation, irregular heartbeats constantly for a long time.
Now it's just pressure and some discomfort, especially sleeping. I have trouble lying on my side. It puts pressure on it. With God's help and a few of the proper supplements, it's much better now, but have to keep up with them, avoiding stress as much as possible.

3. Exhaustion and tired all the time. It gives me serious brain fog and affects my memory.
That is from the heart problem, depression, the stress and ...

4. Malnourishment
My hair falls out a lot and tired all the time. I get down on myself because I feel so lazy. I'm not myself and have to keep trying to encourage myself because nobody else has or does except for those who do here. I am discouraged and have to stay in the Word at least twice per day for strength. Stress prevents the body from absorbing nutrients. I can feel it, but it isn't as bad as before.

5. My sister is dead. I discovered that when we tried to contact family for Mom's funeral. I don't know much about it and can't go into that right now, because I'm having enough trouble handling what has occurred over the months.

6. I have no more family.
My Dad was killed at the Clarksburg VA Hospital.
Now Mom and
my sister died too.
The first three were not natural causes. Having a family member killed by those ways to me seems tougher than natural causes, as devastating as any death is. There's times I feel I've failed them. That may or may not be true, but it feels that way at times.
Then I hate myself for regrets. It's tough to forgive these people that harmed my family and took them from me.

7. Sleep... I don't have many nightmares now, but was re-experiencing vivid night terrors of Mom's death at times. I can now get 2-5 hours a night on average.
Often wake up with bad thoughts and pain.

8. I have had the idea that everything can be put in hold until the biggest priority of Mom was taken care of. Then I focussed on her, while spending all my savings for food and utilities. I closed the business I was going to open and only have the hardware that nobody will likely buy. That's another stressor losing that dream, but must move forward.
I applied to an employment agency and need a job immediately. Please pray that I'll get hired next week.
Even then, There is no way I can make enough money in time. I just got a notice from the county sheriff's office that state property back taxes are overdue and I owe $2,392.
My home will be sold October 31 at auction.

There are a lot of challenges that I can only do so much about. Each one is slowly improving. The last one #8 slipped my mind and I can't afford to lose everything. Please pray as this is so urgent.
God has been so kind and has answered a lot of prayers in the past. I just don't have a clear head and am open to wisdom for the immediate need.

Thank you all and I love you.

You wouldn't lose Christ though. You can't lose who you are. You wouldn't be loosing everything. You will never lose everything. In Christ your deepest desires are fulfilled. Romans 8, read that.

Yes, Romans 8, What can separate us from the love of God?
I wrote to someone earlier about love being the everlasting blessing that goes beyond our accomplishments.
The hardships my parents faced together with me were blessings in disguise. We learned how much we loved one another and grew to love the Lord more too. I am confident that I am in His hand and will meet Him some day. I hope it won't be soon though because I want to lead many more to trust His Son Jesus before I die.

I need prayer brother and something to get me back to a place where I am not bleeding internally, overcome a systemic infection that travels around. Right now it's in my jaw and throbbing, making it hard to get sleep, eat and heal.
A serious heart condition changed the shape of it. I could go on, but the financial payment that is demanded today is a small amount compared to the lifetime of labor.

It's a chapter in my life where I lost my family except for one half brother that needlessly signed off on my own Mom's life after pouring many months of grief upon me. I had hoped there would be a bond of love, but that death sentence to my own Mother was overwhelming and cost us both more than we could afford.

My fellow believers are my brothers and sisters who are offering whatever help they can, even if prayers alone. May God bless each and every one! I want to do my part when I am able too.

Tomorrow I have to pay the https://gofund.me/7b2ce5bf
to save my place. 42% Came through with amazing kindness.

After that I hope to take care of the electric bill to keep refrigerator/ freezer for food if I can get enough help.
If there's anything else, I have to put it towards the phone.
We have had an unusual drought since last Spring. My well is still empty. I'm not used to buying all the water from the store in 1 gallon jugs. Could be worse.
Then I hope I can buy a low cost Cancer Remedy before I fall apart.
None of this is like my normal self, but God will get the ultimate thanks and glory from us as we express our love for Him and for one another.

Thank you for recommending Romans 8. I will go read that now.

I will be praying for you much throughout my life from now on. I'm really sorry that I can't support financially because for one, I'm still 17 living with my parents, second, I'm not allowed by my parents to do things like that with their money. I don't have my own bank card or anything. I would if somehow I could use my taco bell gift cards I won from fall retreat a few days ago by pinning our youth leader, memorizing a verse, (Romans 12:2) and someone gave me theirs. Maybe you need food? I don't know. I could if you want give you the pin number for them secretly by email so nobody else snitches them. I trust that God is doing and allow what is best in your life right now. Even though you may be feeling anxious, stressed, and worried; Paul has something to say about that in Philippians 4. You probably know this is an encouraging chapter for a lot of people. Praise God for all he has done for us, for He has brought us out of the slavery of sin into resurrection life and now we are slaves of righteousness! To God alone be all the glory, honor, and praise.

God bless you my young friend.
The best thing to do right now is to give thanks to God and pray for my list of needs. I learned that people can't pray specifically if they don't know what to ask for. That is why I restated them as 3 pages is a lot of reading. Plus, my health is changing.

That's ok that you don't have the provisions, but we know the One Who does. I am so glad you do know Him my brother.
I would take 10% of what God gives you and give it back to Him through your Church. The habits you form now will likely last a lifetime. You are at a wonderful time of life to establish those honorable virtues like giving, prayer , Bible reading schedule and sharing the gospel. I can tell that you read it because you are able to suggest passages that apply to the situation.

Just last night, I was able to get to sleep a few hours because the Lord used you to encourage me with Romans 8 and this morning with Philippians 4. I ask Him to bless you and others who encourage me.
Thank you for your kind prayers.
