Help keep me housed whilst fighting cancer
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Ruby, and I’ve recently been diagnosed with stage 3 cancer at 18. As I prepare to begin chemotherapy, I’m reaching out for help to cover five months of rent upfront — so I can focus entirely on healing without the added stress of financial pressure.
I’ve been signed off work for the entirety of my treatment, which means I’ve lost my income and simply can’t keep up with rent on my own. My current home is not just where I live — it’s my safe space. It’s clean, quiet, and stable — exactly what I need while going through the intense and exhausting effects of chemo.
Moving back to my parents’ home isn’t an option for personal and medical reasons, and the thought of losing the one place I feel secure is devastating.
If you’re able to help in any way, whether by donating or simply sharing this, you’ll be giving me the gift of peace during the most challenging time of my life.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness and support. It means more than words can say.
With love,
Ruby
