On April 16, 2020, my granddaughter, Rhohannon Jonathan, was diagnosed with Stage 3 Ovarian Cancer and a failing right Kidney (function under 35%).
Despite being on the Organ Transplant List, her failing kidney keeps her from having the chemo and/or radiation therapy necessary for the cancer.
Being unable to have conventional cancer treatment she is taking strong steroids to kill the cancer cells ($500 per shot x 6 shots taken) along with a series of kidney flushes ($2000 per flush x 3 flushes total) to try to get her kidney functioning properly.
Her body raised her white blood cell count and produced antibodies to fight AGAINST the steroid prompting her doctor to switch to a heavier I.V. steroid ($650 per shot x ongoing). Until this is normalized the required kidney transplant ($40,000+) and hysterectomy ($10,500+) have been put on hold.
Rhohannon is still working full time because she is the sole support for her 3 children ( McKenna, 6 Lucinda, 3 and Colton, 2).
Rhohannon is employed at a 200 bed homeless shelter and it is considered an Essential Job according to city guidelines. The only PPE available for employee use are disposable masks and gloves. Altercations on the job represent additional dangers to her health. If she becomes ill with the COVID-19 virus she will die. Her failing kidney, compromised immune system and overall waning body strength make her too weak to survive it.
She doesn't want to lose her job due to the cancer treatment for then she can't support herself or the children but right now it's essential that her focus remains on fighting the cancer.
Rhohannon has done very well providing for her family's needs but now she needs some extra help.
Which is why I am reaching out to YOU.
On top of the ever mounting medical bills, the base line bills and necessities she pays out for equal roughly $3000 every month and that doesn't include the back bills she is facing due to Pandemic Hardship.
With your generosity and support, Rhohannon would be able to take medical leave instead of losing her job and concentrate on her medical wellness and healing. Which, in turn, allows her to get back to work and taking care of her family.
Any and every bit of help from you is deeply and greatly appreciated by us.
Her children need her. Her family and friends need her. I need my beautiful, kind, caring Pickle (my name for her since she was 3).
Thank you.
