Cancer Fighter seeking help with lodging expenses
My name is Loretta St. Martin. I have been recently diagnosed with small Squamous cell carcinoma. My insurance covers my treatment, however I live in the small town of Bishop, CA and a commute of 500 miles daily for treatment is unrealistic.
The treatment is 6-8 weeks in Palmdale, CA. I am starting this fundraiser to raise funds to allow me to stay in Palmdale during my treatment which begins February 11th and runs until the end of March 2019.
I am currently unemployed and State Disability has not kicked in. The doctor has given me 6-12 months to live without treatment. I have two children and three grandchildren. My family has helped me along the way but our resources are running out. We have exhausted all help in the area including the American Cancer Society and cancer advocate groups. Any help, however small, is greatly appreciated and will directly go to my lodging fund during my treatment. Thank you all so much.
