Our Story

Hi, my name is Shydia Brown and I am in desperate  need of help. My car was repossessed , my rent is behind and have no source of income. I'm leaning on my faith to help me and my daughter survive this nightmare.

I am an LPN.  I have worked as a nurse for over 14 years. There was one time I had to stop  because  of a health issues in my past. After many hospitalaization, inpatient physical  rehab , a feeding tube, relearning how to walk and breathe again. I was healthy. 

I also met the love of my life, amor. Amor hardee is a distant cousin  daughter. She was living with my grandmother the first time we met.  My nursing kicked in and I saw she was neglected. Long story short I took her in and at 1 1/2 and at present she is a 6 years old independent  queen.  My heart .

I started working for tucker house  nursing and rehab service in July.  I was unfortunately  behind on carnot and rent due ot extringent circumstances and was working on catching up. On November  8th I caught up on the rent. I had the intention to start catching  up on my carnote.  On November 11th my life changed in a way I never thought it could. I had debilitating symptoms that made it impossible to work. Hospitalization for a week and a half  and now homebound with a nurse pt and ot . My doctors are still trying to figure out my diagnosis.  

Out of work and unable to provide for my daughter the rent is due . Then my car is repossessed.  I reached out to my job and I was informed I don't qualify for FMLA, I don't qualify  for unemployment due to not working  enough hours for the year. They don't have disability insurance  and all the funding at multiple non profit programs have run out. I don't know what to and nowhere to turn. As a nurse I go over and beyond for all my residents because I believe if can make their day little bit better than yesterday I have served my purpose. I ask who helps  the nurses when we get sick?
