My cancer healing journey

Donation protected
I cannot begin to explain how difficult the decision was to fundraise on my own behalf, yet at this time in my life I have been left with no other choice but to set my pride aside as I ask for financial assistance from my family and friends. I was recently diagnosed with cancer and have undergone one surgery to remove it. One week ago, I required further diagnostic testing, which is when there was cause for concern that the cancer may have spread to a different part of my body. I will be having a biopsy done in the coming weeks to determine whether or not it is cancerous and if so, I will be scheduled for a second surgery/treatment. Recovering from my first surgery was extremely painful, limiting my ability to function for several weeks. As a result, I have been unable to work and have found myself in dire straits, financially. Until I am confirmed cancer free and all diagnostics, biopsies, surgeries etc. have been completed and I’ve made a full recovery, will I be able to resume working again. Your donations will allow me to cover the cost of my monthly living expenses, including but not limited to: rent, utilities, cell phone, car insurance, gas, groceries, supplements as well as food and medication for my dog, Ava, all of which totals approximately $2,500 per month. I would like to raise a minimum of $7,500 to cover the next three months. I thank you in advance for your love, support and contributions. It means more to me than you will ever know. Moving forward, I will share updates regarding biopsy results, scheduled surgeries and my healing journey.
