My name is Rakisha and I have recently been diagnosed with Stage 2 tumor Grade 3 Her2+ breast cancer, a cancer that can grow and spread rapidly. I am a single mother of 6 children with the youngest ages 17, 12, and 9, and I have 4 beautiful grandchildren.

I am currently undergoing chemotherapy while still trying to hold a job driving a medical transportation van, transporting people to and from medical appointments, some of whom are wheelchair patients that I have to push in and out of hospitals and nursing care facilities. With my immune system being compromised, this is a very dangerous position for me. One wrong cough or infection can put my life in danger.

So, I'm asking for financial assistance so that my body has a fair chance to take treatment, be well-nourished, and begin to heal from this illness while still being able to maintain my household. This situation has put a strain on my family mentally, physically, and financially. Your help is greatly needed and appreciated.
