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. Last week, I was diagnosed with stage 2 nodular melanoma. 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 quit my day job so I could qualify for MediCal and they still denied me. My son and his wife help with bills as much as they can. I cant keep paying the motel or get medical care. We will be homeless after June 6th. My survival rate is higher if I get help immediately. I found a place to live but I need help moving there, paying for rent, paying for surgery ( or chemo if needed), and help during my recovery.
