Hi all, it’s Margaret and I never dreamed I would be in this beyond horrible situation, or would ever think of doing this, but I am and I am pleading for help. Only a handful of family and friends know of my situation, here it is.
I am currently unable to work due to 2 very serious health issues I am having, one being stage 2 breast cancer which I will be undergoing surgery for on the 21st of Feb.,(they will be removing the cancerous lump from my right breast and lymph nodes from my right armpit, the lymph nodes are being sent for a biopsy) and the other is needing an organ transplant which is an extremely long process and surgery, (8 - 10 hours of surgery and up to a year in recouping time). I am currently on the list for a replacement organ which I will need to continue to live. I am also praying the cancer isn’t spreading.
I am being helped a little by social services but it’s no where near enough, I am currently 9 months behind in rent and am trying to stave off eviction, and am about 3 thousand dollars behind in utility bills (gas and electric).
If anyone can help me, there are no words I have that would relay how incredibly grateful I am to you, the stress I am under is not helping my major health issues. I am also trying to be approved for SSD (social security disability insurance) but that’s not going to ever happen (if I’m approved) for at least a year from now.
Please, if you can, help me out a bit so I can try and get this under control, I am desperate. Thank you, I love you all.
