SUPPORT JEN THRU CANCER TREATMENT
Well this is something I had hoped I wouldn't have to do but when my Chemo & Radiation start after my B-day next week it will be 8 weeks of 5 days a week treatment.. ugh. Unfortunately the past 2 months of constant appointments has definitely affected my income big time. I'm still trying to unpack my new place & I'm already struggling with how to pay for it. I'm at a loss of what else to do. Many of you suggested I make a GoFundMe so here I am. Swallowing my pride.
Needless to say here's my story....
3 Months ago I was on the search for an Apartment in OC so I could start an incredible new job as a Lymphatic Drainage Specialist. The pay was A LOT & Life Changing! So after a very stressful search we found the perfect apartment & signed a year lease. I was so excited to get back to OC & back to work since Covid was a tough year for us Massage Therapists. But sadly the week I moved I also found out that what I had thought was a yeast infection is actually Stage 3B Adenocarcinoma of the Cervix. (A Rare Cervical Cancer) After MANY Doctor appts, where the news has only continued to get worse & worse, it's already too big to operate on. Unfortunately my only option at this point is the Chemo & Radiation. Clearly that was beyond shocking to hear. On top of that the job I had moved for was given to someone else since I obviously won't be able to work for at least the next 4 months!.. Sooo that has really screwed things up as well.. On top of ALL that (but to no surprise) my wonderful BOYfriend of 13 yrs also ran away literally as soon as we found out my diagnosis. So his help with the rent & bills ran away too. Of course I'm hurt he literally just walked away like I've never existed & after many harsh words doesn't even msg to see how I'm doing. Thankfully I've been far too busy to care but it still hurts. Never would I have got the Apartment if I knew he wasn't gonna help with the bills. I also have my 2 spoiled lil doggies who need to eat & get groomed etc. So my money is dwindling fast. Gas Prices are killing me with these appointments being from Long Beach to San Clemente.. Moving costs were much more than I expected since the pos ex didn't pay what he was supposed to either. Not working much already has my savings dusted. My biggest stress is Rent.. My Car Payment & Car Insurance.. Cell Phone.. & Gas / Electric / Water etc. & Groceries. My Mom is the only Family I have & many of you remember she was smashed on their motorcycle a few yrs back & barely survived.. she's in the middle of trying to sell her house with issue after issue so she can pay off her own debts. I have no one to borrow a dime from. I've come to the point of desperation because I can not get evicted while going thru Cancer Treatment so I'm kinda freaking out. I've tried every organization that exists but none have any funds thx to Covid so my luck continues to suck. Since I am a Holistic Health Practitioner I'd love to do more natural treatments but of course my state ins doesn't pay for any of it & we all know how costly everything is these days.
I do formulate & sell Full Spectrum CBD products if anyone is Interested.. as well as RSO. I'm also selling Massage Gift Certificates to fulfill when my Treatment is done. Most who really know me know I'm not one to ask for help so this is a big deal for me to do & I'm a nervous wreck about it. Please know that every dollar donated is going to help pay bills & nothing more. I'm very appreciative of every ones support & kindness throughout this nightmare. If u can afford to donate or even just share this I am grateful to you. I'll never understand why such shitty things continue to happen in my life but my saying is "Just Keep Swimming" so that's what I'm trying to do but right now I feel like I'm fighting just to breathe.
Seems many of my friends prefer to Venmo or Zelle instead of donating thru GoFundMe so if you'd like my info let me know.
Please keep the prayers & postitive vibes coming. It means a lot to me. All your msgs keep me going thru this crap with a smile. Please stay safe out there people.
& LADIES GO GET YOUR PAPS!
Seriously.
