Taylor - Breast Cancer Survivor
Donation protected
Hey everyone,
My name is Edwina, I am a current 4th year medical student at Loma Linda University Medical School and am fundraising for a good friend of mine, Taylor, who is a breast cancer survivor and current medical resident. She has been struggling to pay her medical expenses related to her diagnosis since being diagnosed several years ago. I am turning to the GoFundMe family in hopes of providing some relief to Taylor during this difficult time in residency.
A little background on Taylor without going too much into detail -- Taylor received her diagnosis of breast cancer during the midst of an incredibly difficult residency training. As a result of her diagnosis, she had to give up her dreams of entering into the specialty that she chose in order to take care of her health and had to restart residency training in a new specialty and new state. Since then, Taylor has been taking up odd-end jobs in order to pay the minimum for her medical-related expenses. Many of us in medicine know how grueling the hours can be as a resident, working over 80 hours a week with less than minimum wage salary. Taylor has been dog sitting and tutoring in addition to an 80+ hour work week to make ends meet for herself.
Those of us who know Taylor know how dedicated she is to her patients, family and friends. She brightens up any room she enters, taking time to listen thoughtfully to every person she interacts with indiscriminately. Taylor has no idea that this is being set up for her. I hope this fundraiser can remind her that despite the trials she has endured during this time that there is still a community out there rallying for her.
