MISERABLE LIFE

The person that helped me is Raphea . On November 15 2002.I was working and all of a sudden i had pain come in my stomach. And I asked my boss to give me some time to go to my country which is in Haiti. I went to Haiti on November 23.I was supposed to come come back to work in twelve days. And sadly, I had the accident and broke my right ankle on December 8, 2002. When i had the accident i went to the hospital in Haiti and more tragically, they had made a mistake with my ankle. Then I had my friend Raphael to take me to the hospital in America when i had nobody to call. And sadly after two months my health insurance cut off and he had to be the one to pay some of my insurance for me. After my second surgery, I had an infection on my ankle, so my doctor in Fort Fierce sent me to another doctor in Orlando. They had gave to give me five more surgeries. The doctor put a cast on my ankle and asked me for an additional 5,000 dollars which I do not have because I had to pay some of my deductable to them to take the cast off my ankle and to continue working with it.So since I didn't have the money they agreed to let me pay 3,000 dollars of which i didn't have a cent. So my same friend had to find a way to pay the money to them.So thankfully my friend found the money to give to the doctors.
The doctor put me in the hospital to stay for 22 days to save my ankle.And from the hospital I had a bloodclot on my right arm. They had to take a vain from my left leg to fix my right arm. After 2 months they sent me to another hospital to have a blood transfusion.After two years I have had three more surgeries. Thank god for my friend because he was there for me when I had no place to stay. I have one child and my boyfriend had left me by that time, not even my family in the U.S had did anything to help me. After that happened I had another child and still am a single mother trying to work very hard to support my 2 children. Now my ankle can never move anymore, and its been 6 years that I have not been working.
