Cancer Sucks!!!!

You’ll never understand the pain and worry behind the smile. I'm a 45 year old Correctional Officer with the Illinois Dept of Corrections. I'm currently receiving chemotherapy, for a giant cell tumor sarcoma. I had surgery on my left knee in April of 2015 to remove the cancer and now the cancer has moved to my lungs. The type of cancer that I have is very rare, and known to spread aggressively.  Ive been off work since December 18, 2015, and my only form of income has been lost. I've recently became a single mom, my ex husband decided to file for divorce in the midst of me fighting this battle. I have a 14 year old daughter, and a 24 year old son. (Since then my ex husband has died of colon cancer). I hate asking for help but I need it. The bills are piling  up and I have no idea how I'm going to pay them. I don't want to lose everything I worked hard for. I refuse to let this disease take more than what it already has from my life. I never would of thought in a million years that this would happen to me, but it has. I'm a very prideful person who loves helping others, but refuse to ask for help for myself until now. I'm worried about so many things, and I don't want to worry about money. This will NOT get the best of me! Your help is needed and appreciated. Even if it's a penny or a dollar, everything adds up to greatness! God is still holding me in his hands, and I appreciate it. I just want to be her for my kids, without worrying if my utilities are going to be disconnected because I can’t make a payment,

Thank You,
