Hello my name is Samantha and I am fundraising so I may be able to afford to take some much needed time off of work to care for my husband Russell who had just been diagnosed with Stage 3 Oral Cancer. He is due very shortly here to be in for surgery including removal of the large tumor under his tongue and all lymph nodes on the right side. I need to be here to make sure he is recovering well. The worst side of this surgery is the possibility of infection due to a large neck dissection, and the possibility of not thriving, eating.

Im a strong lady by nature but even the strongest crack.

Time off is not only for my husbands care but for my mental health as well.

In these times I am barely making ends meet but with this new direction our life has taken, I need help.
