Until recently I was an essential worker at Beaumont Hospital in Taylor. I was in a major auto accident which has led to a health condition that is affecting my spine and mobility. I've gotten behind on my rent and am working with my healthcare providers to schedule an upcoming surgery. I could really use assistance right now to be able to concentrate on my health and recovery.
I lived in Detroit Michigan all my life born and raised. Until recently, I worked at Beaumont Hospital in Taylor Michigan. Before staying at a shelter program, I was going through a divorce with my ex-husband and my mother and father let me move in with them while I made a plan moving forward. I had been preparing and hoping to save enough to move into my own place, but this move came sooner when our country was struck with the Covid-19 crisis. Because my parents have underlying health conditions and I work in the hospital, I knew I could not risk their exposure by continuing to live with them. Unfortunately this left me homeless and seeking shelter from the SOS program. Afterwards, I was able to move into my own housing and am seeking to continue my education and rebuild my stability.
My goals are to recover successfully from a major surgery and be able to stay in my home. Eventually I want to find work that I'll be able to do with my current health struggles and would like to find an IT program.
I am happiest when I am at church. My proudest moment is when I graduated from high school. I pray that one day I will be blessed to have a family of my own.
Melody, thank you for your hard work as an essential worker. I hope you heal quickly.
I'm raising money for rent arrears so I can get through an upcoming surgery.
Melody is really in need of community assistance at this time, she worked to help community members through the Covid-19 pandemic at her hospital position but is now in need of support of her own. Melody experienced a car accident that has significantly affected her health which has led to struggles to keep up with her rental costs.
