Help a Brave Mom Overcome Cancer and Home Repairs

What do I say? I think 2024 has by far been the toughest year of my life. I try to look on the bright side and stay positive, but it's been really hard. I've always been a single mom, so I'm used to putting up a good fight, working hard, and facing some tough battles and have made it through to the other side. I'm stubborn and proud and have never really sought help or support from others.

This year, however, has been different. It's challenged me in ways I never imagined. The biggest and scariest blow was my diagnosis with cancer. It has taken a monumental toll on me both physically, mentally, and financially. The cost of medical care, deductible, and copays ate up years of my savings in just a few short months. In a few months, that expense will start again, but I will face that as it comes.

The other day, my kitchen sink stopped draining. What I hoped would be a $10 fix with some Drano has turned into a $5000+ plumbing/excavation job to replace old cast iron pipes that have collapsed and are leaking, walls in my home cut apart, and trenches dug in my yard. I just don't have the money anymore! I have the credit to finance (thankfully) but don't know how or where I'll find the money to pay that monthly bill for the next year. So here I am, for the first time, I'm reaching out and asking for help. Times are hard for all of us right now, so it makes asking that much more difficult. With that being said, if anyone can spare even a few dollars, I would be extremely humbled and appreciative. God bless us each and every one.
