In the face of life's challenges and occasional tragedies, my best friend always brings a positive light, love & incredible resources to lift a lost soul, scared peer, or innocent bystander/stranger looking for encouragement or a hand up.
She never turns them away-- despite her own "stuff".
In the past four years, life has dealt her one hell of a hand, but through Faith, hope & perseverance, she has conquered those times with a blessed life story to tell.
Many look to her for support each day-- sometimes more than once a day. I know I do.
Now (and I ask myself "WHY??" over & over again), she is facing the greatest challenge of her and her small buggies lives (and yes- some of you may not know- she is a single mommy). 
Almost to the date one year ago, she went through emergency brain surgery... Which she suffered many strokes during and after that procedure, but praise be to God, she has no residual issues know to doctors.
During the brain surgery time, she wasn't able to work, her ex husband was in Iraq serving & she was on disabity- which only paid 40% of her bills, childcare, daily necessities etc.
Meta is the strongest most caring woman I know, she doesn't even know how to ask for help--- only how to give it.
She would give a complete stranger her shoes, etc.. If they needed them. 
And at the same time, she would sell them all to ensure the bugs have what they need. 
So today I'm asking for your help.
Due to being out of work with the brain surgery last year and now the challenges of a rare case of stage 4 cancer, she is most likely unable to work going foward for the foreseeable future (at least the next two years).
Since finding all this out, less than one month ago, she has under gone major surgery to remove most of the aggressive cancer and will start chemo this week for a minimum of the next 60 weeks.
Her doctors are hopeful with this chemo plan she will be a survivor not just a fighter.
I believe she will be a survivor too--however the stress of the financial junk--- medical needs, daily needs, childcare/school, etc for herself & her two small children (Adelynn-6 & Ethan-3) honestly are just too much for one person to bare... Even contemplate.
Her work is unable to provide any source of disability... And the state possibly up to 50%. She is on LOA through target to protect her insurance benefits, but this provides zero income going forward unless she is physically there & working.
I'm asking humbly for you to pray and look into your heart and seek guidance in what ever you can do to help Meta, Adelynn and Ethan in this trying time.
I know they would beyond greatly appreciate it.
She was given a pretty small window for longevity of life...
Which I , along with many, hope & pray is not the case.
I believe in my heart she has many years to live to watch her buggies grow and share her positive light and love with others.
