Since I was 12 years old, I've been dealing with Crohn's disease and many surgeries over the years. I still need more due to open wounds that won't close from the illness. Sadly, I've tried to repair them with no luck and am still trying to find the correct procedure. Unfortunately, due to the treatments over the years, I have developed many other conditions in addition to the illness. I now have cirrhosis stage 2 of the liver and NASH of the liver, type 2 diabetes, neuropathy, and many other ongoing issues.

In February, I went for my routine mammogram and now have been diagnosed with breast cancer. I have invasive ductal carcinoma stage 1 grade 3 triple negative. I just had a lumpectomy in March because they said with it being invasive, they don't wait. Now I'm about to start chemotherapy and then radiation.

My husband has been great during this, but he recently went to self-employment jobs to work around my sickness. These jobs require driving, and our vehicle has now broken down on top of me needing to get to my appointments. We are just asking for any help to give a boost to head into the next month or so when I start chemotherapy. In the mix, we are still trying to survive, paying bills, and raising a 12-year-old daughter as well.
