Struggling to keep up with bills and expenses

Donation protected
Hi everyone, I honestly feel uncomfortable making this, but I’m at a point where I don’t know what else to do. As some of you know, I’ve been dealing with a very rare and aggressive type of sarcoma cancer. It started deep in the tissue, like the muscle and fat, and has now spread to my colon and surrounding areas. I’ve already had multiple surgeries, including major reconstructive surgery, and I still have open incisions that are healing very slowly.

Because of all this, I haven’t been able to work. I’ve been out for seven weeks now and just found out that my medical leave has run out. If I don’t return to work soon, I could lose my job—but going back right now could put me at serious risk of infection or even more complications, and I still need treatment, including more surgery, chemo and radiation.

On top of all of this, I’ve been trying to fill out every form I can for disability and financial help, but nothing has come through yet, and I’m falling behind on everything—bills, food, vet care, and just day-to-day life. I’m in debt from medical expenses and have barely gotten by with small grubhub deliveries here and there.

This is really hard for me to ask, but I need help. If you’re able to donate even a few dollars, it would mean everything. I live with my mom, and we’ve already been through so much—losing my dad and my brother. She’s all I have and I’m all she has. I don’t want to lose everything we’ve fought so hard to keep together.

Thank you so much for reading this and supporting me in any way you can. Whether it’s donating or just sharing, I truly appreciate it more than I can say.
