Please Pull Together to Help A Brave Mom to Fight Cancer.

Good morning to all my friends and family.It is with deep thoughts and many long nights of prayers and pain more tears than sleep but God is with me all the way. If you know me as a friend, family member, associate, or just maybe we’ve met somewhere since I’ve been here. Hopefully I’ve made you laugh or cry, in a good way or even just listened to you or shared some food or cake or pie, because sharing is what I know how to do to express my love and compassion. If it’s in my power to do , the Lord says do it. So to get everyone up to speed , in 2020 I was diagnosed with stage 3 cervical cancer. I was working for Walmart 5363 Lovejoy Ga. Kudos to all of my friends and family there!! They are and always will be a big part of me. I worked for WM 32yrs. 4 months. I fell ill was out on LTD until 2022. Then forced to leave the company because I was still ill and couldn’t give them a return to work date. So upon that. Insurance gone! So I’ve had to toggle through pain for 3 years barely seeing my doctors for chronic pain. But with the help of charity care through Emory Winship Cancer Center I survived. Medicaid never approved after applying several times. So now it’s 2024 and again I’m in the fight of my life. When I got my PET CT results, as strong as I am, I lost it. Not because I’m weak or I had no faith but let me tell you friends and family and who ever has an open heart, I don’t wish what was said to me to be said to no one. Not even my worst enemies. I was devastated. Shook to my core for some days! I just couldn’t believe it, but I just turned to God as I always do and still, am trying stand strong. The joy of the Lord is my strength. And this is way too much for me to bear. With all that going on, my prayers are that God heals me as He has before and lets me see my baby girl graduate from college next year. I’m sooo worried about her. If you know me you know her I won’t say her name because like me she doesn’t want to be made ashamed or belittled. She much rather be on the giving end of the spectrum. But there comes storms to many of our lives and we’ve never been wealthy, just blessed by blessing others. But she’s in college to graduate 2025. She would never want me to do or say anything, but I’m a Mom and along beside me she has struggled greatly because she was worried about me secretly. She continues to push through working while taking her classes. Her tuition fees for the Fall semester are $3500 and $1700 has to be paid by the 16th of August. I don’t know how we will be able to pay them while also paying medical bills for my illness. My medical bills are through the roof. I have 3 more radiation treatments and 3 more chemo treatments. Then another PET CT with hope that the treatments are working. But God. And surviving off of SSI disability and everyone knows that’s bare minimal. I prayed all night before posting this page. Because when I’m in public I look like I’m okay. Just yesterday I felt good enough to walk in Lovejoy Walmart with one of my daughters and I greeted a few friends, without my walker or riding cart! I was determined . So God gave me that strength. But today I’m back in bed as sick as it gets. It’s reality. And for all of the church families that know of me and we’ve crossed paths over the years, pray for me. This is my clarion call to all my prayer warriors. God let me see the real concerns and the whispers and those of you who do I’m thankful for whatever you do. Or say. Or pray. So now let me say this as humbly as I can, please, please, please don’t judge my illness. If you don’t know or you want to know just call or text me and ask me. And if God shows me your spirit is worthy of my personal and it will help you or encourage you in some way then I’ll share.

I have known to be the strongest in my family. I cared for my dad who passed away from prostate cancer in 2005 and my mother who passed away from colon cancer in 2009, and I cared for my mother in-law who passed away in 2017. Not from cancer. But I will never ever understand how I can know and have 1000 people around me and still be alone. When they see you and say “ let me know if you need anything “ or “ you know I’m here for you “

It’s a painful thing to hear. I’m a real person with feelings and emotions all over the place right now. I’m a very private person and begging and asking for help is not what I do. I am a giver and a helper to whomever and when ever. The Bible says whatsoever you find your hands to do, do it. I have lived a Christian life and was taught the word and ways of the Lord my whole life and I know God is with me. About 2 years ago I started watching The Shabach Church in Apopka Fla. #1403!! Under the leadership of Overseers Sonya Mixon and the one and only Bishop Dr. Todd M. Hall!! I’ve never seen them in person but that is one of my greatest wishes to see them in person! Their testimonies of surviving cancer and their faith in teaching the word of God have given me much strength on my worst days! I’m not afraid of dying because I know where my soul will rest. But I’m not going without a war on satans head! I BELIEVE I WILL LIVE AND NOT DIE! But stress is my worst enemy right now . Unless you have been here, or someone close to you has it may be hard to understand. So with great prayer and supplication I humbly ask for your prayers first, and to everyone of you who have said to me over the past 8 months,” we praying for you” and “hang in there ” and “let us know if you need anything “ as hard as it is for me and my heart is soooo heavy right now. Here it is. My life is in His hands. So now you know. For me, I don’t care what my doctors say, it just got right for God! I believe in miracles. And I know The God I serve ! And He put people in places to pray for others. I’m that person. And just because I’m ill. I don’t stop. I am in constant prayer. I will keep you all updated please reach out to me through prayer if nothing else. I need all the positive thoughts and prayers to get me through the next hours of each day. God Bless all of you. And right now I pray He returns to you 100 fold and supply your needs as well. This is why I named it Family. The last 8 months of our lives have been unimaginable. But my faith is in God. I am a servant unto the Lord and all people race creed color religion and national origin. We are all His people! And I am just grateful for whatever His word says. My favorite scriptures are.

Mark 9:23

And he said unto them if thou canst believe all things are possible to him that believe

Numbers 23:19

19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

and if that’s not good enough this is for real

Mathew 19:26

Jesus looked at them and said

With man this is impossible

but with God ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE

so this I ask in the name of Jesus from my heart , A Mom.

I will keep you posted on my journey. God be with you all and I pray He continues to cover you all your families and keep our children safe at school and work.
