Help Julia With Basic and Medical Supplies
Hi, my name is Julia Brunelle and I have had cancer for 33 years. Over the years, I have gone through a number of surgeries. I've had my ovaries and most of my large intestine removed. It started as cervical cancer but I was later diagnosed with colon cancer. I was found to have a cancer-causing gene known as Lynch Syndrome. I now live with a colostomy bag.
This year, I found out that the cancer has returned. I had radiation therapy in preparation for more chemotherapy but things didn't go so well. I developed an abscess and have been wearing a drainage bag for the past month. I'm in a lot of pain and some days, it feels very hard to continue but I am trying my best. I am currently on ODSP but I find it hard to buy basic things, like clothing and groceries. Anything you can give would be a very big help to me.
Some of the things the money will go towards includes:
- underwear
- loose clothing that I can fit over my stoma (many of my pants have torn or been thrown out due to bag leakage)
- footwear (sandals for indoors, boots for winter)
- pillows and bedding (a lot of my sheets have been thrown out due to bag leakages)
- dental work not covered by ODSP
- general beauty and hygiene products
If you have any of these items and you would like to send them to me, please message me on Facebook for my address. Any funds I raise will go towards the items mentioned above and anything else that I need.
Thank you everyone <3
