Help Em Cover Medical and Living Expenses

Hello friends and family, I am usually the last person to ask for help, and I’ve always loved being the one to bless others…

As many of you know, last year, while I was trying to rebuild my life, I was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer. I had only been at my job for 6 months, but I’m forever grateful to have my foot in the door at Mayo. My insurance and receiving care at Mayo has been a huge, huge blessing!

I have been home on disability for 15 months. Disability is helpful, but it doesn’t cover my mortgage, much less, my other bills.

With a huge pit in my stomach and teary-eyes, I have been living off of my savings and have received help from close friends and family. At this time, I’m asking for help. I’m not able to continue like this financially. I’m not able to pay my bills, nor medical bills. I’m sinking. Our kids are mostly grown, but I still help them financially as I’m able, and I’m still a mom.

My disability runs out in a month and I’m currently trying to figure out a return-to-work, in about 6 weeks. My medical team has told me I’m doing everything possible; and in my power, to physically, mentally and emotionally heal. I am still very much in a healing phase…

I’ve also gotten my feet wet by returning to school, after 24 years. I feel strongly that my purpose is to bless and help others who have walked this road, as I have. My goal is to be graduating with a nursing license in early 2027. I have never studied so hard in my life. The chemo brain fog is my biggest enemy in this.

I appreciate you taking the time to read this and consider helping me. Please know that this has not come easy for me, and makes me very uncomfortable to ask. By not having an income for this long; having regular bills and medical bills…I’m in a very stressed and worried place.

I love you all!

God bless,

love, em
