Help Rebel with her cancer bills

Donation protected
My name is Manda Gravelle, I am Rebels oldest daughter. Many people know my mother as a very hardworking, hard headed, stubborn, opinionated, knowledgeable, helpful and kindhearted woman. She has worked her entire life from cooking to construction and most recently over the years at tractor supply and Aldis. A couple years ago she went in for what was supposed to be a routine carpel tunnel surgery on her left hand, it left her hand useless. She has not been able to work since  and workers comp is over and done with. If that wasn’t bad enough it left her with a debilitating nerve disease called CRPS where your nerves are constantly under a painful spasaming attack but social security will not approve her disability claim stating she can still lift up to 20lbs with that hand. On Valentine’s Day while my son was visiting them I received a call from my son saying that grandma came home from the grocery store really hurt and wouldn’t stop crying and that I needed to get there fast. I dropped everything I was doing and rushed over after she agreed without hesitation to go to the er. If anybody knows my mother or myself  that is not something that is done without an act of Congress and the national guard forcing it. We spent the evening in Samaritan to find out she had a broken arm. No rhyme or reason it just broke out of the blue in tops parking lot. We went to the specialist who wanted to find out why it broke before he fixed it. After several mris and ct scans we were told about a 10cm long tumor that had deteriorated her arm bone to the point it had broken. Sitting in the specialists office with her was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. Holding my mother as she cried after being told it was a highly formed malignant tumor in her arm that had caused the break and that she had to go see a ton more drs. I told her we would get thru it that all she had to do was tell me where to be and we’d be there that I’d quit my job if necessary that we’d get thru it. Now after countless drs appointments, medications that the insurance company refuses to approve, radiation and most recently chemo they have found more lesions on her liver and on her l4 vertebrae and a new break in her arm just below where they took the tumor out. Both of our savings are just about tapped out and she is worrying how they are going to get thru and keep the Bills paid. My car has undergone so many repairs it’s tapped me out because it’s the only vehicle that she can get in and out of comfortably. When she asked me to make a gofund me I knew she was exhausted and at her wits end. Long and short of it all,  we need help. We have appealed social security and done what we can. Anything that can be given is appreciated and never to small prayers included. Thank you for reading this long post and god bless.
