In a time like now when our world has been forever changed and Law Enforcement has turned into well for a lack of better words #HatethePolice world., This story needs to be told. It needs to be told before I lose my job due to these cruel mandates. I am among the thousands that has been left behind with no insurance.

I just spent several years getting my life and my health back and fighting to raise three kids. Now that this cruel mandate has happened all that I worked so hard has been lost. 

The medical exemption is due to my Cancerous RBC Thalassemia. I have already gone through treatments several years ago and it was brutal going it alone. 

The CDC has dictated only two reasons for someone to not get vaccinated. Interesting since we all now know the truth is starting to come out. 

So many have other underlying untreated health issues and once this virus hits them it's wiping out their immune system. 

So, I am not saying the virus isn’t real. I think if you are in proper health and are confident you can get vaccinated then by all means. I’m not among that crowd. 

My disease is a rare immunocompromised issue. I was born with it as my  father was exposed and past away eight years ago from Agent Orange. Among a couple other born into health issues I have. 

This one is the one that came close to putting me on my death bed. 

Normally everyone WBC will show when someone is fighting an infection. Mine is always a high low which means, ANYTHING NEW introduced INTO my system can do and has serious damage. 

I do NOT get the flu shot as that causes me to have the actual flu for months. I get blinding migraines, hair loss, nails peel, stomach nausea, extreme exhaustion and the list goes on.

I had to undergo treatments in 8 wk increments 3x a week. Then await the 120day turn around to ensure the treatments were taking If not round two and three etc. I spent 5 yrs getting my health back in order. I am approaching the time to be re-evaluated. I have been under so much stress with losing my job that my symptoms have crept back in. I had made my appointment with the HEMO/ONCO but had to cancel it due to lack of insurance.

I was a Teacher/Nurse going through college to finish my degree in Criminal Justice/Forensics when going through all of this. I was raising three small kids. I was finally going to make my long time dream in Law Enforcement come true. 

Unfortunately at that time,  my 25 year marriage ended and I lost my father and three other family members that year. My world was falling apart. 

Fast Forward: I have to have blood work done every 6months to ensure I am not in need of Treatments. Last year I suffered through Covid while we were mandated to work 16 hr days. I was written up once maybe even suspended for a day because I HAD to call out at one point I was so sick. I knew it wasn’t just a normal cold when I couldn’t taste the copious cups of coffee I was consuming to stay awake. I was scared to death my disease was taking over my body again. I immediately had blood work and had the Antibody test 30 days post Sickness to find it was just Covid. 

We weren’t allowed to wear masks yet we were told we were “too intimidating”. Scary to know how many were infected. 

I will have no health insurance and will end up losing my car, probably my apartment and it will be JUST LIKE WHERE I STARTED when my life fell apart and I lost it all. 

I lost my health, marriage, money, house, kids. I was left sleeping in a car with my K9. I know I am lucky to be alive with all I’ve gone through. 

I don’t have family or anyone that has the means to help. They all sat back and watched me before when I needed them and didn’t seem to care. 

I can’t go without healthcare. I had a plan to stay with this department until retirement. I wanted to get this book I've been writing published. That’s all on hold now. I certainly don’t live beyond my means, no social or even dating life. I just work, church, gym, eat & sleep when I can. I spent over 20 yrs taking care of everyone else and was finally starting to have a life I never knew I could have.

Please consider donating to to this campaign to help bring awareness to my story. This campaign is for my health right now. UPDATE - I had to cancel all appointments and treatment - they refused to help with no Insurance. 

I’m exhausted with trying to get help and cooperation.
