Support for Kurtisha while battling stage III breast cancer
Donation protected
My name is Emily and I am asking for support for Tisha through her journey battling stage III infiltrating ductal carcinoma of the left breast. We became friends at the start of the pandemic and I have formed a close bond with her and her girls. I just want to get her the help they'll need.
Tisha is a single mom to two girls, A’nijah 3 and Alaura 5 years old. She was born in Bay City, TX. Later moved to SW Houston and worked as a caregiver for many years. Changed careers and was working from home full time as a customer service rep to be home with her daughters. After noticing a lump early this year she went in for exam and mammogram and was quickly scheduled for biopsy which confirmed the diagnosis of bx er+ pr+ and her2+ stage 3 left axillary breast cancer. She had to take a leave from her full time job to immediately get a jump on things medically. In April her port was surgically installed and chemotherapy starts May 18th.. The initial rounds will be 3 months. She changed insurance companies to get with the best oncology team but deductibles are high. $6000 deductible for chemo, co-pays, prescription cost after insurance are her medical expenses. And her living expenses are about $800-$1000 a month (rent is only $200 because she was approved for assistance) Electricity, phone, groceries, the girls basic needs, gas are her only other expenses estimated in the $10,000 goal to get her through the next 3 months medically and personally. Any support you could show would be greatly appreciated. I want to be completely transparent with her needs, medical progress and updates.
