Please help Melissa stay afloat during Chemo

My Dear Friends and Loved Ones, I am writing to you today with a heavy heart, as I find myself in a difficult and trying situation once again. For those who may not know, I have been battling Hodgkin lymphoma, stage 3 for some time now. It has been a challenging journey, but I have been doing everything in my power to fight this disease with all my might. In April of this year, I made the decision to seek holistic treatment at a facility for four weeks. However, despite my hopes and efforts, the cancer unfortunately continued to grow. This led me to change my medical insurance twice in order to receive the best treatment possible at UCSF, where I am currently undergoing chemotherapy. Many of you know that I have owned and run my own horse training business for 24 years. It has always been my passion and I have always tried to be a hard worker, even going above and beyond to help those in need. However, with my health struggles and increasing medical bills, I have faced even more challenges. To make matters worse, a few weeks prior to starting treatment, I was involved in a head on accident which left my only vehicle totaled. On top of that, inflation has caused my rent and other bills to rise. I have done everything in my power to eliminate or decrease expenses, including temporarily giving up my lesson horse and cutting back to only the essentials. But even with these efforts, the sudden loss of 90% of my income due to my reactions to treatment has hit me hard. The truth is, I cannot do this alone. I’ve exhausted all my financial assistance. With an ongoing treatment plan until March of 2024, I am in need of financial help to stay afloat and asking for $20k. Any amount you are able to donate would mean the world to me and would make a significant difference in my life. And if you are unable to donate, your prayers and well wishes are always welcomed and deeply appreciated. I am constantly reminded of how blessed I am to have such amazing people in my life, and I am truly grateful for your support and love. Thank you for taking the time to read this and for considering contributing in any way you can. Together, we can overcome this obstacle and I am hopeful for a brighter and healthier future ahead. With much love and gratitude, Melissa Cobb
