Help Jacki Overcome Cancer and Financial Strain

Hi all, my name is Jacki and wow, this past month was a rollercoaster! I wish I could have told more people in private personal messages, but I've only known a month and I'm already overwhelmed by everything I need to do. I'm sorry if this is how you are finding out, I thought I had more time before the expenses started piling on.

In May, I was finally able to get a lump in my breast looked at, and now less than a month later, I have diagnosis for Stage 2b breast cancer and a treatment plan that starts on July 2nd. The survival rate for my DX is excellent to begin with (about 93%), then add on that I have a great medical team and fantastic friends and family? All this is just going to be a weird-ass half year where I cosplay as Winston Churchill and have to draw on my eyebrows. It will still SUCK, but I am going to beat this. The plan is for 5 months of chemo, rest for a month, then surgery. Radiation, hormone therapy, and reconstruction TBD once we see how the chemo does. There's a whole lot more to my plan, but that's the best summation I got. :-)

Over the next few months, while my job has already told me to take all the time I need to beat this, I will be losing wages once my PTO is exhausted. My meager savings have already been eaten up in the testing. I have at minimum $1500 in repairs to my car that I will need VERY soon (like my AC, new tires, and an oil change). My out of pocket max for health insurance is $6000. It resets in January, right before my projected surgery. I've already signed up for financial aid, and gotten approved for plenty of credit through MedMax. It would give me peace of mind if I knew I had funds for unexpected non-medical expenses/emergencies for the next year and if any of this fundraiser money is left, taking out a good chunk of the medical debt.

I don't like asking for help (like ever), but I was told that there is no need for me go through this alone. Any help -spiritually, emotionally, financially, physically - that you can give will be accepted with love and gratitude (and my charming brand of awkwardness). Thank you for your support on this journey.
