Urgent Assistance for marla brain cancer diagnosis

Donation protected
Hello, my name is marla Greenspan. Most of you know me for many years as a teacher or old friend. I’ve been going back and forth on whether to make and update this go found me. I have never been more scared and desperate, but I truly don’t know what to do. I’ve been a teacher for over 30 years which is my purpose and love. Unfortunately, May 24 I was diagnosed with brain cancer, and possibly lung cancer as well. That was the last thing I ever expected to hear. I had to have brain surgery to remove the tumor and unfortunately I was not made aware that I would be paralyzed on my left side as well as having to have a catheter permanently. I am no longer able to work, which is the last thing I have ever wanted., especially since a few months ago, not only did I lose my father, but we lost our apartment. The generosity of every single person has gone be on my expectations and I will forever be grateful. The help I have received by many is truly a miracle but Unfortunately because I cannot work and the hotel I am staying at is so expensive. I am running out of money fast. I’m also, on the verge of losing my insurance, I have never been in this position and I do not know what to do. Having cancer is bad enough but I truly do not know what I am going to do without work, money, and the care that I need. I have never been in such a bad situation, and I truly am scared. It is scary as it is having to deal with cancer and needing treatment but I do not know what I am going to do for money or a place to live. I know I have already asked for help and I feel awful having to ask again, but the situation has gotten much worse. I completely understand if people are unable to give especially since everybody has been so generous. If you could, please find it in your heart to keep re posting I really don’t know what else to do. I am very close to being on the street once again except this time Unfortunately, it is with the added bonus of cancer. I don’t know what I would have done without all the help and generosity of those who have already given.
I truly appreciate you reading this. This is the last thing I thought I would have to do, but I am desperate and in a true emergency situation.
About a month ago, we were blindsided by the unexpected loss of my father. He was the major financial provider. I am a teacher and unfortunately cannot make up anywhere near what he brought in. And now I can’t work at all
we have been staying in an extended stay for the last few months and the money is running out fast.
We truly are scared of having nowhere to live and I truly don’t know how to navigate being on the street with brain cancer. Any money donated big or small will be greatly appreciated, and will be going towards keeping us off the street, buying us food, and getting me to the hospital to I can start chemo and radiation. If anyone needs more details and hospital records it would be my pleasure to have that sent over to you..

If you cannot contribute money at this time, a share with your friends and family would mean the world to mr as well! Thank you so so much from the bottom of my heart, and again I’m so sorry to keep having to ask. If you are unable to donate or share, all I ask, is you please keep me in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you so much and God bless you all.
