Hi my name is Dawn Swettman and I'm 72 years old destitute and fighting throat cancer alone. My kitties were my support and my only family and the only reason I fought to survive the cancer treatments and two major surgeries. My social security check is less than half of the price of rent here these days. I have been renting a tiny for almost 4+years. I can't survive in the streets.im permanently disabled. My throat was cut ear to ear and my voice box was removed.i can't speak. I no longer breathe through my nose and mouth,I have a permanent hole in my throat to breathe through. I'll be 73 on July 4th. And my one surviving kitty will be 13 years old on Feb 14 ❤️... we will die in a tent in the streets.. I pay rent and I cook and clean like Cinderella.. it's not my house and I live under the constant threat of being homeless and tossed in the streets walking on eggshells.. I have no family to help me and no place else to go. almost I have 20.00 a month left to live on after bills and rent but it's better than nothing... The stress can make the cancer return... I'm fighting for my life and my cats life now inflation has made that 20.00 more like 20 cents... my medical supplies and personal hygiene items and laundry..well I can't survive without the help from kind strangers... my bottom teeth have crumbled to tiny sharp shards from the 54 radiation and chemo .. and my health insurance won't cover the bone grafting needed to get oral surgery and dentures... every day is a challenge... I fought cancer for many years and all the financial loss .. loosing my house no car etc... and there has got to be a few days a month i can actually just live.. go dancing. Hear music socialize.. my tiny room. Is a cave and I can't see any reason to be buried in this cave if I don't get some days before I'm too old to dance or see .. or walk .. I can't have a life without your help...Please help me and my kitty.... 3 of my 4 kitties died in the past year.. my eyes have developed macular degeneration.. I now get needles jabbed in both of my eyes every 7 weeks .. probably for the rest of my life... I can't speak because my voice box was removed.. but I can still dance.... I'm praying God will touch your heart and you will decide to help us. Even 5 or 10 dollars once a month would make a huge difference ..
