On September 1, 2017, I was diagnosed with cancer. By September 20th, I was told some of the worst news ever, "You have Adenocarcinoma with no primary source". To make matters worse I was told that it had metastasized(spread) and that  I was already at stage 4 cancer.

Since then, I have started advance chemo with Cancer Specialist of Tidewater. I was told that I will be needing chemo for a while, but I belive that is only for the lord to decide. Since I have been diagnosed I have missed several hours out of work and it has taken a toll on my life. I have gotten behind on some bills (rent, water, electric). Thank God I have been able to keep up with most of my medical co-pays.....but that is even getting hard to deal with.

Most that know me know that I am a single mother of two and I love my children so much and they mean the world to me. I have been praying hard becasue, I am very prideful and it is taking me a lot to ask, but I need your help. These funds will be able to help me keep myself and children in our house, keep the lights on, have running water, and help with some of my co-pays for chemo.

I want to say thank you to everyone that has already assisted me and everyone that would like to. I have tried to reach out to several organizations, but have not received any help as of yet. If anyone has any other options or resources that may be able to help me, I will be more than greatful to get that information. 

Even though I am going through all of this and it is stressfull, I have found peace becasue I am putting all of my faith and trust in God first! Thank you everyone for reading my story!
