Christy's Cancer Journey: Need Your Support

Donation protected
Hey everyone! My name is Christy Adams (aka Sissie), Child of God, wife, mother, MawMaw, daughter, sister, aunt, niece, cousin and a friend to many. Today as I walked into the cancer institution at Novant, I realized I paid my last $20 to my name, for my co-pay. With the help of a generous family member, my mom, and very sweet giving customers during the month of December, I've survived with no job for 5 weeks. I'm at the point that I'm weak, I don't want (or need) to be around people in public because of all the sickness going around, and I'm debating on what to do for income. First and foremost, my husband is a provider!! He pays every single bill we have from car payment, house utilities, camper, food cost, tithes, anything the grandkids might need at our house, and all that comes along with everyday life. When I received my diagnosis in May, I never knew how much my life would change. I've had fundraising, which paid 100% of my out of pocket on the day of surgery. Between t-shirts, bracelets, hats, coozies and a "bingo for a cause", this has been a lifesaver!!! I'm so blessed and thankful for what everyone has done for me so far through this journey. But as I stated, I'm out of work, the bi-weekly payments are still coming out of my account, the insurance is coming out, and my every 4 week co-pay will be coming out as well. I've cleaned and done some odd jobs to bring in some income, but it's rough on my body. This is not a pity party by no means! Before I was diagnosed, I helped every kid I knew with fundraising for school or sports, I traveled to other states to watch them play, I tried in any way possible to help out my family and friends, without hesitation. But upon arrival today, I was ask about my balance of $3800 and some odd dollars and I have one blood test from Optimus Lab that insurance will not pay and it's over $8000...I was just knocked for a loop. I knew the medical bills would continue to add up, but I'm no longer in a place to pay these. I'm NOT lazy and actually want to work to keep another burden from my family, but I'm scared to death of what is going to happen in the future and don't want to leave these bills unpaid. And if anyone out there has ever tried to get assistance, well enough said! I'm so grateful that my chemo is paid in full now, but not the other visits that go along with my treatment plan. I have amazing friends that help by monetary gifts here and there, and it's always when I need it most...God knows what I need. My husband will sell, borrow, and do whatever it takes to make sure I'm taken care of, but in my heart, I can't lay all of this on him. If everyone can send up prayers for me, that would make my heart happy! I just don't know what to do at this point and it hurts so bad. My God knows what my future holds, and I will trust in Him!!! Thanks for reading my story and if anyone needs anything I can help with, I'll return the love❣️ Cancer stinks, and so do all the other terminal diseases out there!!!! Prayers going up for ALL that are fighting battles! Love sent from the bottom of my heart.
