Donation protected
Update: Hi sorry haven’t updated it’s been a ruff couple of weeks. I have gotten sicker my hair is pretty much gone I also started to have fluid build in my belly that I have to get it drained every week if I don’t it gets hard to breathe, walk, or eat for that matter. I’ve lost so much weight to it’s crazy. I’m still doing chemo but I get it in pill form now and see if this treatment helps. I was taken something different In the IV with other medications and that was not working with my body. I have more test coming up to check my liver to see if it’s the same cancer that is in my breast. But I will update results when I get them back.

I am still reaching out for help with any donations every little bit helps. Struggling financially is the worst feeling. I’m not able to work so this will help the kids and I with everyday needs, food, gas, bills etc. I do not have any type of life insurance or anything to help also cover funeral expenses. If there’s anything left when I’m gone that will go to both my young 2 children that will need to still be taken care of. So please if you can donate thank you it means the world to me if you can’t I understand please share my story.
Thank you to everyone that has donated I appreciate it. Please continue to pray for us.

Hi everyone as many of you know my name is Desiree. I’m normally a pretty private person for a long time now I have always put my kids 1st no matter what the case was. I love all 4 of my kids deeply and have taken care of them by myself for the last couple of years with some help from family when they could.

But now I’m reaching out for help because I just can’t do it alone anymore. Back in July I started falling a lot and couldn’t even stand up alone that kept happening. I was also not eating well. I was just not sure what was happening. I went to my primary doctors and told her everything that was going on so she went ahead and sent me to do lots of lab work. The results came in and she said she wanted to see me right away. I didn’t think I was going to hear the words from her saying that I have stage 4 breast cancer the cancer is in my right breast and moved to my liver and bones. The 1st thing I asked was it curable and she looked at me and said I’m so sorry but it’s not. I just didn’t have any words all I thought about was my kids the thought of not knowing really how long I have with them.

We found a cancer center that would take over my case and would help me. They said that they would make me comfortable and see what we can do to help me. The 1st few months I got really sick not eating not walking couldn’t move without help I was always vomiting and in lots of pain. I finally was able to start chemotherapy and thought that would help me but after only 6 treatments that medication was just making me even sicker the doctors decided to stop the treatment and try something else.

I was now sent to do more test MRI’S , Pet-scans , bloodwork, they had to do blood transfusions , ultrasounds, I have been in and out of doctors offices and hospitals. All while still trying to take care my kids. I have not been able to work and it’s been very hard for me and the kids.
If you are not able to donate please share this with your friends and family to reach as much help as possible. Please pray for me and my family as I know this is hard for them to. Thank you for taking the time to read my story and I will also make sure to update everyone once I know more of what’s going to come.
