Help Gill Overcome Cancer and Financial Strain

Donation protected
Hi everyone,
I’m reaching out during one of the most challenging times in my life. I’ve recently been diagnosed with lymphoma, and while I’m staying positive and hopeful for a full recovery, I’m facing a long journey ahead filled with treatments, medical appointments, and recovery time.
As someone who works in the restaurant industry, my income depends on being physically present and able to work. Unfortunately, this diagnosis means I’ll be unable to work for extended periods while undergoing treatment. As a single person without a financial safety net, I’m finding myself in an incredibly difficult position.
The reality is that I’m facing:
• Mounting medical bills and treatment costs
• Loss of income during treatment and recovery
• Daily living expenses that don’t stop
• Unexpected costs that come with fighting cancer
I’ve always been someone who prefers to handle things on my own, but I’ve learned that sometimes we need to lean on our community. Your support, whether it’s sharing this campaign or contributing what you can, would mean the world to me during this difficult time.
I’m committed to fighting this with everything I have, and I’m optimistic about my prognosis. Having the financial stress lifted would allow me to focus entirely on getting better and returning to the life and work I love.
Any amount helps, and I’m incredibly grateful for each person who takes the time to read this, share it, or contribute. Thank you for being part of my support system during this challenging chapter.
With gratitude and hope,
Gill
