Biography
Hello my name is Stacy Monaco and I'm a mother of three children and a wife to a man with MS. My husband was diagnosed with MS when he was very young (he was only 23) and has been taking very expensive medications ever since. My only son has been diagnosed with ADHD,Autism Spectrum Disorder and Bi-Polar disorder. He also takes several expensive medications. He recently had a couple of stays in an IP mental health facility because his behavior got way out of control. My youngest had to have extensive dental work in a hospital under anethesia and we are way over our heads in medical bills. I just can't seem to keep up and most of them are going into collections. I just need a little help from the wonderful, giving people I know are still out there, to get us caught up and back on our feet. I'm always the one trying to help others so this was very hard for me to start asking for help.
Over the summer of 2011 my mother got very sick with COPD and her lung started collapsing. Every time they thought they got it back up, it would collapse again. She ended up having to have a portion of her lung removed. The dr told us her other lung was in pretty bad shape to and could do the same thing down the road. Well in December 2011 her only "good" lung collapsed and we are worried she may have to go through this all over again. My mother takes care of my kids for me because I can't afford day care. We could really use a Christmas miracle this year!
My Purpose
I am trying to raise money to help us pay for the many, many medical bills that we have accumulated. Childhood bi-polar disorder is something that NO CHILD should ever have to deal with and no mother should ever have to deal with the ups and downs of bi-polar disorder. Ever since my son was 4 years old his moods have been an extreme challenge for me. I'm constantly the mother that other people are looking at wondering why she can't control her child. It's a feeling that no one should have to have. I love my son dearly and when his mood is stable, he's awesome but in a moment it can turn very badly. :(

Getting To Know Me
Recent changes in my life : We've had a very rough couple of years with the death of several family members. My mother who used to watch our children free of charge has become very ill and has been hospitalized with a severe lung condition. She recently had to have surgery to remove part of her lung and will no longer be able to watch my kids. This has added to our financial burden as I now have to pay a baby sitter to come to my home and watch my children.
