Hi, my name is Jeanette and I am 44 years old.

Recently, I spent nine days in the hospital after not feeling well for nearly two months. While there, they not only found out I was diabetic, but that I also had suspicious masses on my ovaries. After a full hysterectomy, it was discovered that I had cancer. It had started in my uterus and spread to my ovaries.

While recovering from the surgery and waiting for my upcoming chemotherapy and radiation treatments, I've found myself unable to go back to work.

I work as a home health care provider for seniors; a caregiver. I've been in this line of work for sixteen years and I love what I do. It's very fulfilling to be able to not only help people but to also offer some respite and peace of mind to their loved ones. I love what I do and I'm looking forward to feeling strong enough to get back to work once I'm healthy again.

In the meantime, bills are due, I need transportation to get back and forth to my treatments and there are significant medical expenses. I usually don't like to reach out and ask for assistance, but at this point, I don't have much choice.

Thank you for reading and any support.
