Save my life & breast

Donation protected
I moved to LA from NYC to take care of my mother 24/7 for the last 5 years of her life. With all of my time devoted to caring for my mother I had few opportunities to meet people and so don't have much of a support network in LA.  When my mother passed to the other side two years ago,  it left me homeless and without a family. My mother was my whole family. Together my mother and I were able to manage living expenses by combining our social security incomes. Without hers, I can not cover basic living expenses (I rent a room in someone's apartment). I do not qualify for food stamps or public assistance. I am over 65 so getting a job has been very challenging. I drove for Uber for a while but found it was affecting my health and it was too stressful to continue.  I had some modest savings that have been used for rent and I've been selling my jewelry to raise money for rent and other expenses.

A month ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer - 2 masses in one breast and growing. I can go with the conventional treatment of cut, burn and poison (covered by Medicare) or I can go the non-toxic, non-life threatening, non-disfiguring, non-invasive alternative route which is positively my first choice and a rather urgent one at that.

The  alternative treatments I seek to use would be administered by Doctor Juan Garcia, MD, cancer specialist and formerly with San-O-Viv Medical institute (www.sanoviv.com). I first met Dr. Garcia about 12 years ago but have had no contact for over 10 years. Until last week when he sent an email just to say hi - after 10 years! Talk about timing.

Because these alternative treatments are not covered by insurance and because of my financial situation, I appeal to you for help getting the $15,000 it will cost to keep my breast out of the hands of the U.S. medical establishment and where it belongs - attached to my chest.

Your kindness will come back to you times 100.
Peace and blessings to you and yours.
