From Tumors to Tuition: Need Your Help
Donation protected
The time has come. I need to finish my degree in Vocal Peformance and due to a series of surgeries, medical bills, and now a broken down car I am in need of LOTS of help. In June 2024, I blew my nose and ended up passing out and cracking my head on the bath. After ex-rays, ultrasounds, and 2 biopsies I was diagnosed with Papillary Thyroid Cancer (left) and a non-malignant follicular tumor of the right maxillary ( I affectionatly called it a booger tumor). Both tumors have been removed, but unfortunately the cancer spread to the right thyroid. My car must've caught sympathy cancer because it decided to die on us on this Christmas Eve. I had top give up performing in a show with people I loved dearly because I couldn't afford childcare on my own and poor communication. Life sucks at the moment, but apparently it's worth living...but it's gonna cost me.
Thank you to everyone who has privately donated so far. I owe roughly 8K to finish this year in school and $3500 to get a new engine in my car. My medical bills have ALL been covered for the year and I don't need to worry about another (possible) surgery for at least 6 months.
