Raising Funds & Hope
For Annie’s Healing
What I’m about to share with you and ask is never an easy thing for anyone. A few weeks after my Father passed away in June, I was diagnosed with Metastatic Breast Cancer stage 4 that had reached a few lymph nodes and a few places along my spine. I was also told that I had a wedge compression fracture in my L3 vertebrae, which is why I’ve had so much pain there and wear a back brace and use a walker sometimes too. Now, I need to raise funds to help me pay for medical expenses not covered by my medical insurance and basic living needs (rent, food, gas, insurance, bills).
I’m a 62 year old, single, fur-baby momma of 3 (Sundance 12, Siri 14, and Rosebud 3). I need to be able to take care of myself and focus on my healing, so I can continue to take care of my fur-babies, who mean the world to me; they’re my immediate family and my reason for living that helps to get me out of bed every morning.
Writing is my passion, career, and purpose in life; however, since Covid began, it’s been a challenge to get enough Freelance writing projects to support us. For the last six months, I’ve been under a tremendous amount of stress having to move several times to different temporary housing for myself and my 3 fur-babies. Thankfully, I finally found a permanent home for us and a new housemate we all love; however, I have to be able to continue to pay the rent, in order for us to stay. One of the most important keys to successfully healing from cancer is to be able to reduce the amount of stress in my life. This is no doubt a challenging time that I’m going through and why I am asking for your help and support.
I will be posting updates as often as I can as I’m still in the process of consulting with my Oncologists about all of the potential treatments and therapies available to me at this point.
I appreciate all donations and your sharing my fundraising page to help me spread the word.
Thank you and God Bless,
Ann Baldwin, Sundance, Siri, and Rosebud
