My name is Maria. I have always been a self-acclaimed workaholic; however, my body has decided it has had enough and is forcing me to slow down in the form of a brain tumor.

I have 4 great kids and a wonderful husband who is trying his best to take care of my every need. However, bills don’t stop, as many of you know, and with me being out of work until they decide if I can go back, it's becoming a little scary. If you are able and God has blessed you with extra, maybe you might be able to help a girl out or at least share my story so maybe others might.

I will beat this. I have to. My kids need me. Thanks for reading my story and any help would be greatly appreciated.
