Assistance for Cancer Survivor & family w/ issues

This may be the first year we don’t have  Christmas. It breaks my heart. 

I’m a single mom and a Triple Negative Breast Cancer Survivor and it’s a true blessing. The side effects are horrible.  I still go to the doctor every month.  I haven’t been able to work since 2018. It has taken all I have and I have new health issues with my liver that are non alcohol related that have come up that keep me from working at the moment. I had back surgery 4/24/19. I’m an independent contractor by trade and with that there isn’t disability. I was denied 3 times with cancer even though I couldn’t work.  I need help to keep this family on its feet for a little bit longer. I am getting another procedure done on my knees in January because they are  shot and will need replaced in the next few years. I’ve had 2 minor procedures on them this year.  A Realtor friend talked me into asking for assistance from the public. I’ve had several people tell me I should do this. I tried to get loans but due to missing chunks of time working - I can’t get a loan even from the credit union I’ve been with for 22 years. I still have a daughter in school. We lost the father to my 4 children 2 years ago  tragically at the age of 50. It’s truly humiliating to ask for help but many have told me to do so. 

I will pay it forward in the future. 

Surviving cancer is truly a blessing but managing the devastation treatments do to the rest of the body is difficult. Before cancer I managed Osteoarthritis, Fibromyalgia- now these are much worse. I have a chronic liver disease not related to alcohol that I am trying to manage as well.

 The stress is not helping and my anxiety is through the roof. I have applied with every agency and I haven’t had any luck. We need any little bit anyone can donate. Paying thru GF takes over a week to get. There are alternative ways to get help to me faster, please message me for that information. 

Please find it in your heart to help us out. Thank you in advance,
