Help Cancer Warrior Financially

Donation protected
My name is Karla Calderon and I am 18 and I'm a homeless youth. My younger sister and I left our home in February due to child abuse and sexual abuse and I was declared a homeless youth while social services took custody of her. I was able to graduate high school this past May. Ever since I left home in February I haven't been able to find a job. I wanted to attend beauty school this past fall but couIdnt because I didnt have the funds. Im temporarily residing with my younger sister and her foster parents. Just when I was finally going to obtain a job I started having health issues. I had major surgery on October 29th to remove a 4 lb tumor the size of my head from inside my lower abdomen. The next morning I was told I had ovarian cancer.I won't be able to work or attend school. Im in the process of trying to obtain disability but I've been denied assistance.

Im asking for financial assistance to help cover the cost of a good quality wig, help provide me some income these next few months that I will be unable to work, and I'm also asking for assistance to kick start my beauty school tuition. Since I've been set back a year due to homelessness, my cancer, and not being able to obtain employment, I would like to make it a goal to start school next fall and even the slightest help would be great. I also need assistance to help pay my fertility clinic bill as well as other medical costs not covered by my insurance. My treatment will make me infertile so I had a procedure done to preserve eggs. I currently do have free health insurance through state and they do cover most medical expenses but they don't cover fertility procedures and other particular costs. The livestrong foundation was able to cover most of the cost of my fertility procedure but not all of it. 

I would like to thank everyone in advance for your help. Even $5 is greatly appreciated. Please help. May God bless you.  -karla
