Support Rachel's Fight Against Cancer

Donation protected
I'm Rachel. I'm 52 years old. Last year, my son and his fiance lost their jobs due to no fault of their own. We have been living in a motel for the past 9 months (with 3 kids ages 8,4, and 9 months). I've been working 7 days a week at 2 part-time jobs to keep a motel roof over our heads. A few months ago, I discovered a sore on my foot that won't heal. I applied for medical through the state but was denied because I make $300 more a month than the poverty limit (but all of my paychecks go to the motel). I was just diagnosed with aggressive, malignant cancer. This means I can get full medical through the state if I quit working my day job but this also means we will be homeless in two weeks. My son and his wife help with bills as much as they can. I'm asking for help so I can temporarily quit a job and seek medical care, as well as possibly get first month's deposit and security to get them in a place. I don't care so much about me but I'm worried about my family. I dream of a place to call my own, and my survival rate is higher if I get help immediately. I don't know where else to go or what to do.
