Robin's Cancer Fund
Donation protected
My aunt Robin was diagnosed with an auto-immune disease that began attacking her liver 3 years ago. Last October, she went into liver failure and needed a transplant. Luckily my other aunt, her sister, was a donor match and this past February they had a successful transplant.

Two months after the surgery, at the end of April, Robin was diagnosed with Triple Negative Breast Cancer (Read more about it here TNBC ). We just found out that the cancer has spread to her breast bone and, for a time, the doctors thought it had spread to her new liver. Luckily, it hasn't.
She is beginning the first of 2 rounds of Chemo this week and will need surgery when those are finished. Even then, this type of breast cancer is the most aggressive and has the highest fatality rate in the first 5 years.
Robin was working before she got sick, and that was how she had health insurance, but now she has not been working for almost a year. Her health insurance is about to run out. She will be getting some supplemental insurance starting in January, but it costs $1400 a month. Medical bills and expences are going to pile up quick. We could really use the help.
