Help a Brave Mom Overcome Life's Challenges

Hi my name is Danisha. I am a 36 year old single mom of three battling stage 4 colon cancer and I’m finally asking for help. You ask how I got here, I’ll tell you my story. Two years ago I had an emergency c-section. The year following that was a lot of stomach pain, and a knot that grew from like a grape to an orange right below my scar. I went to the doctor thinking just something from my c-section and left with a cancer diagnosis. With the pain, chemo and just life I had to stop working. That was a year ago. And a year it has been. Chemo every 14 days, 2 major surgeries, a couple hospital stays and just being a mom full time by myself. BUT by the grace of God so far I’ve been managing. A month ago my landlord informed me 2 days after a 3 day hospital stay that she would be selling the home me and my kids have been living in and I would need to move. Now for the past 30 days I’ve applied to every apartment complex in Easton and Cambridge and they all told me the same it’s a year waiting list. I’ve even been looking for another house to rent. Currently I don’t have something secured but I’m working on it. God has made a way for me to pay these bills but with the unexpected move that will need to be made I just don’t know. At this point I’ve done everything I can think of. The savings is gone, the credit cards are about maxed out, and I can’t borrow it. I’ve even been applying for jobs not knowing how I’m going to work but being a mom I have to do what I have to do. This is where the help is now needed. I don’t want to be taken care of the rest of the life I have left, I just need a little help to get thru this road block. And if you can’t help financially, a prayer will help as well.
