Cervical cancer, can't break bad, please help

Hi, my name is Stephanie and I am hoping for support for my cherished sister Andria. She has recently been diagnosed with Cervical cancer. This news is devastating as she is the heart and soul of our small family. She is the most incredible, giving, loving woman, sister, mother, daughter, friend, and as I said, the heart that holds us all together.

She is the baby girl of the family and twin to our brother, yet has the heart and spirit of the family Matriarch. My nickname for her is Momma Anni as no matter who you are, stranger or friend, regardless of age or creed, if in need this woman will take you into her care and make you feel loved and cared for like the best Momma in the world.

Already raising her daughter as a single mom working full-time for Habitat for Humanity, she had taken on the role of mother to our two nephews after our late sister took her life tragically in 2012. Our sister suffered a long battle with mental health and substance abuse issues, to which Andria was a support system and already caring for the boys and the older daughter throughout the battle. The two boys were only 8, and 2 years old at the time. Our niece was 11 and went to live with a father she had never met, to the utter heartbreak of Andria. Now, they are 21, 18, and 12 she has cared for and raised them as her own with all the love and patience of a saint, whom mother Teresa would be proud to learn from.

Starting her life in chaos and instability she has persevered through many challenges and has met them all with grace and love. She volunteered with Habitat for Humanity for a year or so to qualify for government benefits before finally being hired on as a paid employee and removing herself from assistance. She has worked for them for upwards of 12 years, bringing in records of profits that benefit the recipients of the homes and assistance given by Habitat. Yet she only will receive basic sick time off work, and does not qualify for any assistance from the organization or government, as she earns a living just above national poverty levels and as an employee does not qualify through Habitat services either.

She is looking only receive sick time off work and will need financial help for the time, away from work chemo treatments, possible surgery, mortgage, electric food, and supplies needed for the kids with school and basic living needs in this stressed time of inflation and possible recession. Her mortgage has just been raised again this year, and food costs have sky-rocketed, and like the rest of us is holding her breath to see what the energy bills will demand during the upcoming winter heating season. The Christmas season is almost upon us and the treatments are bound to consume all income we can spare.
