As some of you may know my mom was diagnosed with leukemia in early 2021. After a difficult couple of years both her treatment and quality of life started to level out and resemble a bit of normalcy. My mom takes a daily chemo drug to treat her form of leukemia and this is the main reason I’ve started this go fund me. She applies every year for financial assistance directly from the pharmaceutical company that makes her chemo drug. The price of her daily medication, needed to stay alive, with insurance is $3000 per month and due to some inane change in the finer details of insurance coverage, which I’ve yet to understand, we’ve received notice that she is being denied financial assistance. We are currently fighting the denial of aid, but as it stands my mom has about 10 days left of meds before we have to sort out paying for it ourselves.

My 69 year old mother with leukemia already works full time in order to just barely make ends meet. She’s currently on a payment plan with MD Anderson to pay off about $8000 that she owes. This is just one of the numerous medical bills she’s accrued in the past couple of years. The past 6 months have been incredibly stressful financially. I’ve been working 7 days a week for the past year in order to help mitigate the cost for her. I’m starting this go fund me so that she can have some type of savings windfall in order to help pay for her medication going forward and to help relieve some of the everyday expenses by paying her mortgage and car note along with other expenses.

If you know me you how hard it is for me to ask for help, but here I am. My mom needs help and I’m going to get it any way I can. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and if you feel inclined to donate just know we appreciate it more than words can say.
