Help A Breast Cancer Patient Make Ends Meet

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Lorraine and I'm fundraising for myself. To family, friends, acquaintances and anyone who can relate, have experienced or have empathy with my situation, I sincerely need your help to be able to pay my medical. I am desperately asking for help because I am at my wits end and cannot do this by myself anymore. I am a breast cancer patient who continues to have added medical issues. Here is a bit of history on my illness. I went for my annual physical August of 2015, when I went for the follow up, I was diagnosed with multiple issues. January 2016, I had a hysterectomy and December 2016 a double mastectomy. With all I had going I lost my home and my car; my daughters and I became homeless and were forced into separate living arrangements. My younger daughter took her older sister who has medical issues, to live with her in college. I remained homeless and ended up in the hospital with sepsis and a pelvic abscess. I was in the ICU at Memorial Hospital for two months; average blood pressure 70/30, had pneumonia constant nausea and could not eat. Subsequently, I was diagnosed with Lupus (an autoimmune disease which attacks the organs and muscles). When I was finally released from the hospital a friend of a family member took me in, I had nowhere else to go. I finally had strength to return to work at the end of 2017. August 22nd ,2023 I had a revision of the breast because of a leak in implant. January 10th, 2024 I had to have another revision again on my left breast because the implant moved. February 22nd I was admitted to the hospital for emergency surgery on the 23rd because the stitches from the January 10th surgery opened up, and I developed an infection. March 14th, I end up back in the hospital with a temperature of 103.4 and difficulty breathing. I am trying to unsuccessfully to catch up financially but between copays and shared cost for MRIs, CT scans, sonograms, EKGs, x-rays etc. I appreciate your great gesture of generosity and the contribution you can make or simply share among friends and family.
