I was diagnosed with Stage 3 rectal cancer, and unfortunately, spots were found in my lungs and liver, so I am being treated as Stage 4. This diagnosis has turned my life upside down, and I am doing everything I can to fight and stay strong for my family. Because of my illness, I have been unable to work, and everything has fallen on the father of my child to support our entire household. On top of daily living expenses, we are facing transportation costs to and from doctors appointments and treatments, which adds even more stress during this difficult time.

I never imagined I would be in this situation, but I am grateful for the love and support that exists in this world. I typically wouldn’t do something like this, but I believe the Lord put us here to help one another in our time of need. Any support would help us stay in our home and together as a family while I fight—and we fight—this battle. Your kindness would mean so much to us and help us get through this tough time.
