Won't give up, but I need some help
Donation protected
It was in July 2016 I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. Very lucky to have cought this disease early in STAGE-1 The tumor did not show up on a routine Mamogram it was found by an Ultrasound location of the tumor was the issue. Blood work and pathology determined I was HER-2 positive. Immediately I had surgery to remove the tumor. Soon after I started Chemo treatment. It was very difficult on me physically but I made it through and continued to work. Then came radiation every day for 6 weeks. I received treatment everyday missing only one hour of work and returned finished my shift. Now I receive Herception Infusion at the Health Alliance Hospital every third week through the month of September. I then will have another surgery to remove the port that was inserted for treatment ease. My Oncologist started me on a medical oral treatment pill named Arimidex I will take everyday for the next 10 years. Just recently I am no longer working. With no income and rent and monthly bills still needing to be paid along with medical expenses and co-payments, I find myself in need of help. I am not eligible for assistance at this point and I have no money right now. I can search for work and go on interviews but I will need money for gas and an oil change to maintain my car which I still have a loan payment to make on. I receive very little money in child support and what little I do receive I pass onto my son for his needs. The amount I am asking for will help me get back on my feet until I find work again. It will help me to support myself and my son when he comes home from college in spring. My situation is desperate as I have paid all my bills for March but have not had enough to pay my electric bill this month. The further I fall behind the worse my situation will become. Battling Cancer is indeed overwhelming but adding unemployment and no assistance is impossible to survive.
