Support Laina's Fight Against Ovarian and Uterine Cancer

Hi, my name is Laina and I have stage 3b ovarian cancer and stage 1 uterine cancer. I have had a few people want to start a GoFundMe on my behalf, but I declined. Now, I am fighting for my life and taking care of my daughter in my new home, and it is getting very hard for me and my family. I cannot work due to chemotherapy and being so sick. I am immunocompromised, and I am also getting hormone therapy and iron transfusions. I will have other future treatments as well. I have filed for disability, but that takes a very long time. I am struggling to pay my bills, and I have a hard time focusing on getting treatment. The cancer has spread, and I do not know what the outcome will be, but I am a fighter, and I am doing everything in my power to beat this dreadful disease. I am single and pay bills on my own. My family has helped me, but they can only help so much; they are in retirement and on a limited income. My daughter wants to go to college, but she has put her life on hold to stay with me. She doesn’t want me to be alone. My life has drastically changed in the last few months. I had surgery to remove all the cancer that could possibly be removed. I have very little energy, and I am sad I cannot do things that I once could, but grateful that the Lord has let me wake up to see another day. I am asking for help; if you could in any way, I would appreciate it more than words can express. My medical bills, housing, and car bills are hard to maintain right now. I even struggle to pay my phone bill. This situation has humbled me so much. I am worried about the future, but I also have faith in God. I am trying to find ways I can make money at home to supplement the income I have lost, but it truly has been challenging because I don’t feel well, and I need to be focusing on healing my body. If you can donate, any amount will help. This is the hardest thing I have ever had to fight. Thank you for any and all help. I went from healthy to sick in four months. My tumors grew very rapidly, and I am thankful that I went to the ER when I did. I wouldn’t have made it had I not gone and had emergency surgery. I pray that anyone who faces a diagnosis like this realizes you are not alone! Cancer creeps up on you and takes over in no time. I pray that one day there is a cure for cancer. It is scary not knowing how you will feel from one day to the next or how you are going to pay bills while more bills pile up from expensive treatments. I am letting go of my pride and asking to please donate if you can so I can continue getting treatment and have fewer worries over how I am going to keep a roof over my head until I can work again or get disability. I thank you with all my heart. This has been a very difficult time for me and my family. Thank you for the prayers I have been getting. I feel the love from so many people, and it means so much to me. God bless and much love to everyone.
