Help Crystal With Expenses During Cancer Treatment
Donation protected
Hey everyone...My amazing, sweet, kind and loving cousin Crystal had been hit with a Breast Cancer diagnosis last year just after Christmas. She recently finished all her chemo treatments with a bonus of a bunch of radiation treatments immediately after the chemo. She is waiting for the side effects from those two treatments to calm down before she is set to start her next round of treatment. Although its been a tough road, she has taken all her treatments like a BOSS!!
She has 2 beautiful little girls Cassidy and Emersyn who she's had to be away from while she has been going through her treatments, compromising her immune system and damn Covid! She has finished the first two rounds of chemo and radiation treatments and is waiting for the next steps going forward in her medical care/recovery and has been slammed with the reality of the financial burden this has caused her and her family. She has been struggling to pay rent, bills and daily living finances that she is not able to deal with as she has been focused on her health and trying to get herself healthy so she can return home. On top of all of the day to day expenses, she has medication and prescriptions that are not covered by insurance that she needs. Little do people know, when you have cancer, you can NOT work and it takes every ounce of energy in your bones to be able to keep fighting for your health. Once you are done your treatments, life just doesn't go back to normal and the reality of bills comes back full force! She is not currently able to work and is still waiting to be approved for income assistance. So things are continuing to pile up.
Currently, she is waiting to feel good enough to start her next treatment and then physical therapy for the muscle weakness she is having in her body.

We need a miracle of the amazing world of social media to help my cousin get back on her feet financially so she is able to get back to her girls and provide for them as she was before getting slapped in the face with this shitty disease!! It is not fair that she has to chose between focusing on getting herself better and providing for her children as a single mama.
Crystal has never been one to ask for help, ever! So I'm doing it for her! Anything anyone can do to help pitch in would be the most greatly appreciated by my entire family. Thank you so much for reading her story and if there is anything you can give, please know my whole family is so grateful!!
Crystal, Meghan and our ENTIRE family....
