A person shouldn't have to choose between lifesaving chemotherapy and paying a mortgage.

My sweet, kind sister, Melissa Shaw, is fighting breast cancer. Starting chemotherapy, she is experiencing the same as other patients - gastro problems, weakness, etc. Due to these issues, she hasn't been able to work her usual busy schedule. Being self-employed, there are no sick days and no disability payments. She is very private about it and starting a GoFundMe was last on her list. However, with a co-pay of $1700 per treatment and a new mortgage, she is in dire need of assistance.

If you know Melissa, you know she is one of the kindest, most caring people you will ever meet. I implore you to help her at this critical juncture of her life. No amount is too small. If we all come together, we can make a difference and take away some of the worry she has been experiencing. Thank you for your help.
