Hi. My name is Erica. I am 34 years old and at 420 pounds, I am morbidly obese. I cannot work because I am taking care of my mother, who is recovering from brain cancer. I have been trying to get approved by the state to become her caregiver, but it’s a very long process. The anxiety and depression that I have had to endure is crippling. And I don’t want to feel like this anymore.
My goal is to be able to afford a gym membership and healthy food so that I can stay around longer for myself and mostly my mom.
