Aid Ellie’s Fight Against Cancer and Family Crisis
Donation protected
My kids and I had a very tough 2024 and our 2025 is ending up pretty tough as well. Last year our home caught fire, we spent a few months in a DV shelter and we have to move out of our transitional apartment very very soon. A few weeks ago I was in a car accident and our van was totaled. On the way to work I slid on the ice and was then hit by a semi. I am determined to provide for my children so when the wrecker picked up the van I asked him to take me to work, I had some bruises and was a little sore, but was ok. Now we have had another big blow, perhaps the biggest of all. Ellie has been off treatment for her brain tumor since July of 2023 because her tumor stopped lighting up on scans and appeared dead. We received news this past week that her tumor is back. I know her oncologist is talking surgery but I don’t really know what else, the appointment to discuss that is on the 20th. I want to be there for my daughter every step of the way, however, it took me a year to find this job ( I don’t have work history, I was a stay at home mom and hadn’t had a job in about 16 years. My job says that they will work with me as much a they can but any time I have to take off for Ellie will be unpaid. We need help. We are still dealing with everything from the fire, now I need to get another car, and Ellie’s cancer. It’s just too many things to handle on my own. I believe in God and rely heavily on Him, but I am asking for your help too. If you can help us out financially, that would be amazing, if you can’t or don’t feel comfortable doing so, we would appreciate your prayers.
