Hello everyone, It’s taken me a while to reach this spot where I had to admit how low I was and to admit that I could really use some help.

a few months ago I received a really frightening and a really shocking diagnosis.

what I initially thought was maybe strep throat throat or some sort of virus has turned out to be stage 3 tonsil cancer. The good news is that it is treatable. A combination of radiation and chemotherapy should hopefully be able to push it into remission.

the physical toll that it has taken on my body has been brutal. The emotional toll has not been an easy road to travel either. But like the old saying goes, “the only way through is through”. And I have for many weeks and months been slowly trudging through to hopefully be able to get back to living a life that doesn’t feel hopeless.

The financial toll that this diagnosis has taken on me has been huge, it has destroyed my savings and any chances of having a working income while fighting this disease.

I hate to admit that I’m at a point where I do need help. There are things that I just can’t see myself being able to further pay while I’m still struggling through treatments. The basics like groceries, rent, electricity and water continue to roll in and I have limited and severely depleted my options to keep those things paid.

I would love to be able to manage to continue to provide those things for both me and my children while I fight through this last leg of cancer. The support would be crucial to feeling secure beginning the healing portion that I feel is right around the bend.

Any and all help would be appreciated. Thank you for being friends, supporters, family and even just well meaning souls.

I’m eternally moved by your kindness and your generosity.
