Hello,

My name is Anita C. Daniels.

My story is short and sweet. I appreciate who ever is reading this and I hope you all know I am grateful for your time. 

Please know I can put no number on donation. Every penny counts and I will use it very cautiously- since I have been out of work for almost four months now. With prayers, my higher power, and family, we have come this far. I have been truly blessed.

I was in a car accident. Nothing broken, thank goodness, just a totaled car. I see myself as a very strong woman who is invincible. Therefore I continued working for a brighter future. I had success pulling me toward the light, I believed in my heart I found somewhere I could call my home, Los Angeles. My job, family, stability, most of all peace of mind, and the willingness to do my best in everything I do from then on forward.

Pain winning - I went back to the doctor to learn I could not go back to work after three specialists clarified I’m not safe behind the wheel. It was heartbreaking, I live to work. Without work, what do I do with me?

I got savings for an MRI, with results that would change my life in an instant. The doctors called me and told me they had found concering masses in my scan; one at the base of my neck, and one in my brain. I was diagnosed with stage four neuroendocrine cancer. 

November 1, 2022 

I was hospitalized for a month, undergoing chemotherapy and surgery. Everything happened so fast . I was scared. Trying to remain calm, cool, collected, I had to reach out to my babies and ask for help. It was the most humbling thing I had to do, because I am the one who is the strong one, remember? I now know I am not invincible. I am human, which made me learn that it’s okay to ask for help. 

With that I will continue giving back even with a simple smile and kindness. Since then, I have been bedridden mostly. I would like to humbly ask for help for basic deductibles and medical bills. I have been given a choice; to continue chemotherapy and try to improve quality of life or stop all treatment; resulting in a shorter life expectancy. 

However I am feeling optimistic I can beat this. So now, with more fight, I would like to experience alternatives routes because I am not ready to give up. I would like to see if the doctors and I could beat this. 

Regardless of images and results sayings otherwise- I feel keeping positive prayers with negative thoughts far away, I can overcome this disease and get back to work and live each day likes it is my last.
