Help Leigh Ann get her utility bills paid

Donation protected
Hello everyone.My name is Leigh Ann Richardson.This is my maiden voyage with fundraising for myself.A few months ago,I was diagnosed with Stage 2 non-small cell lung cancer.I had the left lower lobe of my lung removed,and I then started a course of chemotherapy treatments and radiation.I sent in to my insurance company for precertification,but they are not covering my chemo treatments because they felt a different drug could be used.My oncologist is appealing that decision,but we have no idea when the appeal will be finalized.I have paid for the treatments out of my bank account with 4 treatments to go.This has left me with not enough money to pay my normal monthly bills.I have kept money set aside to pay for my chemo treatments until the appeal is final.I need groceries as well.I never expected to be facing this,but I am now.I am asking for help from you.I know that everyone is struggling with our current situation in our world,and it is a bad time of year with holidays coming.I have no family with my parents deceased and my brothers who have been estranged since 1995.So I am turning to you if you can possibly help me.Below,I am listing the amounts I need to pay.
1.$222.94 AMERICAN ELECTRIC POWER
2.$446.00 COLUMBIA GAS(my heat is gas)
3.$91.99 times 3 payments CITY OF COLUMBUS WATER(total is $275.97)
4.$460.00 GATES OF MCNAUGHTEN (where we live has quarterly fees of which I owe 2)
5.$21.94 CELL PHONE BILL
6.$493.09 SPECTRUM CABLE FOR INTERNET,PHONE,AND CABLE(I do my bill payment online and keep phone for emergency with my TYPE l DIABETES THAT I'VE HAD FOR 48 YEARS)
7.$368.00 WALMART CREDIT CARD(I get my insulin here)
8.$154.95 for my cat,Blackbeard Winx's
prescription for Eliquis (he is treated
for his hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
and blood clot in his heart-there is no
generic,and insurance does not cover
this medication)
These amounts total $2442.89

I give my heartfelt thanks to everyone whether you are able to donate or not.Thank you for being there to turn to and listen.For some reason,my selfie of my bald head will not work,so I have my Dad and best friend Quinn Whiskers here.
