Back in February 2015, I heard the amazing news that I was pregnant. Less than a month later, my world fell apart, I was diagnosed with Stage 3 Breast Cancer, had a mastectomy 2 weeks after diagnose. In April, I started chemotherapy to buy me time so my baby can develop and come to this world.
12 weeks of Chemo, a lot of doctor's visits later, the big day finally came. On july 27th, at week 35 of pregnancy, I gave birth to a beautiful little girl. Her name is Ella, and she was 4.8lbs, 16 in...my miracle baby. God has been in control of my life the entire time, I feel I'm on this for the ride. However the financial situation has been slowly dragging me down. In about a month, I will start another round of chemotherapy in combination with radiation. I need to be in the best spirit ever. I really believe there is more to healing than just medication, faith is all I got when everything seems impossible. And that's how I feel at this point in my life. It's really impossible to get out of this one.
Not only that, I have a 9 years old from a previous marriage, his name is JJ. My ex choose the worst time in my life to fight for my son's custody.  3 weeks ago, I was served with the papers. I tried to hire a lawyer, but the reality is, I can't afford to get one to fight for my son because I'm tied up with medical bills. I'm devastated. I really wish I could just focus my energy on my recovery, treatment, and healing. But I have so much to deal with that I don't think I can make through this. If it's not fighting for my healthy, it's fighting for my son, or something else. I know many of my pink sister can relate to this feeling that " I just want a break". I also know "God gives his toughest battle to his strongest soldiers". So I have to believe I'm tough. Eventhough I don't feel such strength for the most of the time. At least that's how I used to see my life since diagnose. I just need a boost to get back to beast mode. With everything that has been going on, I'm physically exhausted as well as mentally.  
It would be amazing if I can have a "worry-free" time out, a little financial piece of mind. That's what brought me here, to ask for help. I  have faith that someone out there will hear my scream for help. God has never fail me. If it's not through this venue, it will be through something else. I just can't give up this easy. :)

I trully appreciate you taking your time and read my story.

Please share, if you can.  

Thank you so much.
