Widow and Mom with Stage 4 breast cancer

Donation protected
I'm Erica and I'm 46 years old. I formerly worked in higher education and broadcasting and went back for my Master's Degree in my 40s in Orlando. in 2017, I took my mom in to care for her as she had stage 4 breast cancer. She died in 2018. I was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic invasive lobular breast cancer in April of 2019. One week later, my 9 year-old discovered his father, who was supposed to be my caretaker, deceased. It's very important to keep my son's life normal and keep a routine. The past 3 1/2 years I've gone through my savings paying bills that my husband used to pay as a retired Major for 20 plus years with the United States Air Force. While I did not serve, I'm also an Honorary Commander in the USAF with the 728 ACS under the 33rd FW @ Eglin AFB. I've done exciting things like flown in a F-15, however, I would give it all back to have more time with my son. I need help with rent, utilities, healthcare premiums, copays, medications, internet for my televisits, my phone and all the regular bills. The only item funds will not go to is my car. I'm trying to sell it, and don't feel it's a necessity that other's should contribute to. I don't have a bucket list, because I've taken every opportunity presented to me. All I want is to spend quality time with my son and not worry so much if I can pay my rent. Last week they found a 1.4cm tumor in my liver so I'm not sure how long that is. Thank you for considering helping.- Love, Erica and Turner
