Help My Mom and I

We need help and this isn't what I would normally do.

Above is a link to GoFundMe account that I started on behalf of my mother. This is hard since we like to do things on our own and for ourselves. She deserves to get the health care that she needs and it seems like it can only be provided up north where the state will help her with insurance and all. I am essentially doing this alone since all our money ends up going towards rent in the hotel (as stated in GFM). I just need help, all I'm asking is to donate if you can or share the link. We leave in a little less than two months and that gives no time to get her properly checked, but something is better than nothing at this point. Please. I don't beg but please anything can help.

Here's a little back story. My mother is 46 and down to one kidney. While we have been in Florida, her for years, me my entire life, she has not been approved for health care nor can she afford it. We have tried everything but as this is what is considered a preexisting condition they say they can't help. She is the mother of three kids, 24 (me), 22, and 20. Unfortunately, the other two really don't care what's happening with her so I feel as though she is my responsibility. I have tried to ask her family if they could help but all I hear is they are struggling themselves, but then within a few days they are at Disney or on vacation. What kind of family is this? My mother, father, and I have bent over backwards to help every single one of them financially at some point, yet they turned their back when my mother really needs them. She works in a doctor's office that cant afford health care for their employees.

I am a 24 almost 25-year-old college student. I work in a cleaning business but I don't get much work. I try to get as much work as possible but the veterans get first dibs on work and rookies get the leftovers. All money goes towards unhealthy food and housing. I suffer from anxiety and can't get any health care myself but I'm not worried about me. My father died four years ago and since then everything has gone downhill rather quickly. We are trying to get back on our feet by going to a state that could possibly help us once we have been there long enough. Just to inform everyone, the $50 would go towards me shipping the guitar my father got me. My absolute last present from him. And it's my most prized and cherished possession.

My brothers both left, one left by choice and the other was forced out. Unfortunately they both blame me for their leaving and I'm okay with that. They have called me every name in the book and for my own mental health I have deleted or blocked them from any way that they could possibly contact me. I can't tolerate being told that I'm worthless and nothing to them. So, putting some states between us will do me some good. I wished that things were different but life happens.

I just hope that you read this and read the GFM and understand our situation and if you could possibly help I would appreciate it.
