Help Kathy get to Eden Valley

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Kathy. I live in Arlington, Texas with my two daughters and beautiful granddaughter (shown in the picture). I have suffered from scoliosis and severe back problems since I was about 40 years old. In 2010, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. At that time, I was given a maximum life expectancy of 4 years based on the type of cancer that was found. Immediately, the doctors put me on chemotherapy. I completed my first year of chemotherapy and it almost killed me. I told my doctors that I was not willing to take that route any longer and began holistic treatments as an alternative. Then, in 2020, I found a place called Eden Valley online. Immediately, I knew that I had to get there. I am a single mother on Medicare, so my income is very limited and the treatments are very expensive (about $5,000 per 2 week visit). Plus, my plane tickets. I had no idea how I was going to come up with the funds, I just knew that I had to get to Eden Valley. I saved every penny that I could for a year and came up with about $4,000. I spoke to the staff at Eden Valley and explained my situation. They were so understanding and gracious, they told me to go ahead and book my plane tickets and bring what I had and they would get me started and collect the remainder of the money in payments. I was so thrilled! I could not believe that I was actually going to Eden Valley! My oldest daughter was able to contribute an additional $600 towards the plane tickets and a portion of the remaining funds owed. I packed my bags, got on a plane, and went to Eden Valley for their 2 week program. It was an incredibly exhausting journey and treatment plan that I underwent. However, when I returned home, I felt like a new person! The treatments worked amazingly! The tumor on my right breast began to shrink! In addition, I learned about being on the right daily schedule, nutrition, and exercises for my condition.
However, since being back home for the past 3 years, my condition has begun to deteriorate again rapidly. Especially within the past 6 months. And I just keep thinking to myself - I have got to get back to Eden Valley!
But my time is very limited. I have been struggling financially, and I do not have any money saved. Also, I am at the point where I would need consecutive treatments to continue curing the cancer. Within the next year, I would need to go for a 2 week treatment once every 3 months. Plus the expense of plane tickets. That is why I am hoping to raise $25,000 to cover these expenses, get back to Eden Valley and get rid of this terrible cancer once and for all!
Thanks to everyone for taking the time to read my story and God bless you for your generous donations!!

With love,
Kathy

Note: Funds will be transferred to a savings account created for me by my daughter. Updates on my story will be available as I complete each 2 week period at the retreat.
