Help Put Cookie on the Road to HEAL

Donation protected
Aug. ,2016 I went to my small town hospital ER & woke up 2 wks later after being in a Coma & medivaced to Tri Cities, WA almost 300mi away! I woke up to find I had an Is Ostomy vbag on me because I had Colon Cancer & the surgeon in OR had cut into Septic that almost killed me! I was hospitalized for almost 6 weeks & had to learn to walk again. When  I went home I was 92 lbs, I normally weighed 128! It's been a struggle for a year now & the Cancer has spread to my Liver. I still have a bag on me, but this can be reversed!
My Goal is to get healed enough to come out of retirement & bank enough hours THRU my Union to purchase insurance THRU my Union. 
And to upgrade my old unreliable vehicle to a newer used vehicle, so that I can travel for surgeries & Treatments. Because the nearest major hospital & specialists are 200-300 mi away, but I have family there! My car is 27 yrs old! 
I want to get some sort of normalcy back in my life! I'm so close, but yet so far & it's very frustrating for me. Especially always being an independent kind of woman and now having to reach out for help.  I'm feeling very depressed, after keeping a good attitude for a year. My Stoma has HERNIATED 4" I'm diameter & 2.5" out (my guts are poking out) until I get the reversal surgery I have to wear a belt to keep them in! 
Thank You for Your Time & God Bless
