Donation protected
Hello I'm Candice Waters I'm a Dialysis Technician, a mother  of two handsome young men Jay'den and Jensen, a wife, and a nursing student and event planner. I love to challenge myself and take on multiple rolls because I was raised by a woman who is determined, independent, stronge she is always encouraging me to be the best me I could be. I love this lady with all my heart and I value each and every lesson she's taught me even when I made mistakes she was still there to help me.  So please help me help her by raising the money to complete her survivor wish list this list includes everything from helping  her with medical expenses she also needs help with gas  parking fees and getting her blood thinners for her blood clots which have now gone up in cost of 2400 dollars for a months supply.  She has been fighting stage 4b triple negative breast cancer and shes  had to go through this fight twice now. She was cancer free in April of 2012 and it unfortunately returned the summer of 2014•.•.•.•.•.
Teresa Lavail Waters is a wonderful woman who is loved and valued ....... As a young college student Teresa became pregnant with her first child (ME!) and all alone and determined to finish school and take care of her responsibilities as a new mother Teresa declined her mothers offer to keep me back home in Philadelphia, my mom took me with her to Virginia State University and she brought me to everyone of her classes she was bullied and shamed by people on campus called a marter and yelled at when she walked into the cafeteria with a baby carriage but my mom kept her head held high and in the books. My mom was able to graduate with her bachelors in sociology and pledeged to be a member of the AKA sorority. Later in life she was married and had 3 more children two boys Brandon and Chritopher and one more girl Jasmine Lavail through the years she delt with being homeless moving around with her three children and one on the way staying with her mother, then a friend, then her sisters and great grandmother while her husband stayed away on his own with his family and friends after we found a home we all lived together. After 8 more years my mom left the physically and mentally abusive relationship she was in and then took on two full time jobs to support her children. Today she is still just as driven and dedicated to her children, grandchildren, life, and work where she helped take care of people who are less fortunate, mentally and/or physically disabled (she has now had to retire). At the age of 45 Teresa was diagnosed with stage 2B Breast Cancer and in a few months she had been through chemotherapy, a double mastectomy, and radiation .....she lost all her hair, her toenails, her fingernails turned black and started to fall off, her scalp broke out with red bumps, she lost her sense of taste, her balance, and the feeling in her hands and feet but she made it through and was diagnosed cancer free in April of 2012. In 2014 she celebrated being 2 years Cancer free, but she noticed she had lots of pain in her right breast and neck then  in July of the same year during another self exam she found a lump on her neck. It turned out that the cancer was back and this time in her breast in between her lungs and on her neck. So she stopped working her two full time jobs to put her full focus into her healing and recovery. But of course the issue of bills and money are still there not to mention I added to her stress because I had a accident in the car she had since 2006 and she had  just finished  paying it off. So  please help me help my mom Teresa Lavail Fight like a girl and live less stressed  and healed  :) thank you all for your prayers and support
