Cancer changes everything. It takes your strength, your energy, and sometimes even your hope. For months, I endured chemotherapy, radiation, immunotherapy, and flush treatments—each day a battle to survive. There were moments when the pain felt endless, when fear tried to silence my spirit.

But in those quiet, difficult hours, I found something that kept me going: writing. Creating stories became my therapy, my escape, my lifeline. Every word I wrote was a breath of strength, every chapter a reminder that I was still here, still fighting. One of those stories, Cotton Sheets and Velvet Dreams, was born during treatment—a romance filled with passion and resilience because that’s what I needed most.

Today, I am grateful to say I made it through. The cancer fight is behind me, but the financial burden remains. Even with insurance, the costs of copays, medications, medical equipment, ambulance rides, and transportation from New Jersey to New York have piled up to an astronomical amount.

You can help me in two ways:

✅ Donate directly to this campaign—every contribution, no matter the size, makes a difference.

✅ Search and purchase “A Platinum Chocolate Romance” by Long Temple on Amazon to explore my novels and adult coloring books. By doing so, you’re not just buying a book—you’re helping me pay off this debt while enjoying stories that speak to the soul and coloring books that spark creativity.

Or, if you feel moved, you can do both.

Your kindness and generosity will help me close this chapter and move forward with hope, continuing to share my passion for writing with the world. Thank you for believing in me and for helping me turn hardship into hope.
