Hi,
As you may know I was diagnosed with stage 4 cervical cancer in 2019 and fought like crazy. I was out of work from February until August, went back to work excited for the future, even with the stage 4 diagnosis I really tried to be positive about my future and to live my life as I always have, to travel, meet people, and to truly experience everything that life has to offer. Then Covid-19 happened, I lost my job and health insurance....scary for a cancer survivor with outstanding health bills even when I had insurance! I finally was approved for county care and unemployment but, as we all know it isn't enough to make ends meet and once again I was draining my savings......fast forward February 2021, I was informed that my cancer was back even worse it has metastasized to my lymph nodes. The crazy thing is I was just called back to work! Excited about finally returning to normal and getting back on my feet. This cancer diagnosis is not what I expected.....not only is my life expectancy shortened but, now I am using the last of my savings to just live.....I have to give up my apartment and move in with relatives because I can no longer afford my rent....
But, here is the worst for me.... I can no longer travel to the places that I have always wanted to see and enjoy. I can't afford to go back to Italy and eat pasta, drink a spritz and see my friends for a finally cin cin. I want to live every day that I can to the fullest! And I need your help. Listen, if you can't help or don't want to I completely understand! This gofundme is for me to see as many places as I can before my expiration date comes. I am on medicaid and my family will be taking me in, this money will help me live and help me see some things I have yet to see........I know I seen a lot in my life. But, I must tell you I am sad that I can't see more. You all know my zest for life and travel. Please help me see a few more things before I go. I was given at this point a year and a half to live. I am not sure when it will happen or when I won't be able to travel. I, just want to do as much as I can before it's too late. I promise to share everything with you. And please pass this along for sharing. I appreciate you all and thank you for taking the time to read my story. Xoxo
