Hello everyone, I, and with your help, We are fundraising for my wonderful aunt Yuberkis (Jubie) Banks who has been enduring and battling with cancer for 7 long years now. It began when she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2014 and had to undergo a double mastectomy and numerous radiation treatments thereafter. Then, unfortunately, again in 2018 when she was re-diagnosed with cancer, but this time the deadly disease was found on her spine, neck and lower head and more chemotherapy was required. After hopes of getting back to a normal life without seemingly endless doctor visits and MRI's, in 2020 she began experiencing severe neck pains and made these pains known to her doctors. As it turns out, the intense radiation over the years had weakened and eventually fractured her C4 vertebrae. Doctors had to fuse her C3, C4, and C5 vertebraes together with metal plates during surgery. In the same year she underwent some more tests that sadly found yet, even more cancer all over her skull. She will likely be taking chemo pills daily for the rest of her life. Even through all this, this amazing woman maintained on, working 7 days a week to pay for all of her bills, living completely alone, in New York. Now as it stands, she is unable to work for at least the next 3 months, (god willing all goes well) and she is not able to get disability, nor unemployment. I'm asking everybody to look into their hearts and help my aunt through these very difficult times in her life. Your help will go towards all of Jubie's living expenses and necessities in total while she is without income. Anything and everything is greatly appreciated. Your help is not only monetary, but offers an incredible amount of peace-of-mind through what would otherwise be an even more devestating circumstance without it. Thank you, God bless everyone.
