Jamie’s Fight

Donation protected
My mother Jamie is the strongest human I have ever met. Besides the struggles in her young life, In 2001 she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She underwent a double mastectomy and up until 2008 was blessed with good health. In 2008 she was diagnosed with guillain barre and meniere's disease. My mother relearned how to walk, talk, eat and never showed an once of fear or discouragement. After being hospitalized for over a month she was fired from her twenty year long career because she did not make quota, while being hospitalized, however she never showed an ounce of frustration. She went on to find another job as a manager elsewhere and studied for a few years to pass a certification test. And yes, as she always told my sister and I, “hard work pays off” she passed that test and wore her smile proud. In 2013 we received devastating news that my mothers breast cancer had metastasized to her ovaries and her spine. She underwent a hysterectomy and was told by her physician that she will need chemotherapeutic radiation for the rest of her life. The reason I am here is because her insurance company will not cover the medication that is keeping her alive. Their reason is, “it’s not medically necessary” or in other words, her life is not important. My mother is the strongest, most generous, caring, giving human I have ever been blessed to meet. Her medical bills accumulate to over $3,000 a month and now has missed three months of treatment because the cost is unmanageable. My mother is now a grandmother of two, a loving wife and the greatest mother who deserves a stroke of luck. If you find it in you heart, please help this woman who deserves the sunshine on her face and the wind at her back for once.
