4 years ago my life as I knew it changed. My family began to experience loss after loss and with each passing day we dug ourselves into debt and dismay . Johns health began deteriorating fast and then I was diagnosed with cancer. and we watched as our support system and circle of friends got smaller and smaller . First the loss of my father then the untimely death of my brother and then when we felt that we were getting our feet back above water I found my 35 year old daughter dead in her bedroom we managed to have her cremated. One my bucket list items and need for funding is to provide a permanent resting place and gravesite for both Liz and chip and eventually my resting place as I was diagnose with stage 3 lung cancer July 13 2017 I had the tumor and upper right lobe of lung removed but decided to forgo traditional chemotherapy, as I would not be strong enough to go through it.
Right now I am asking for funding that I may be able to bury myself and chip and Liz and also begin to repair some of the problems we now have at home and make it safer and healthier . We are without heat and on the verge of losing other utilities as every time we start to get ahead another crisis occours , presently we have a roof leak which is causing water to pool into walls the kitchen sick has been broken for a year the house is crumbling much like I am ..and presuing any type of home repairs or alternative treatment for health is beyond reach. Right now funding would allow me to at least not have to worry about day to day living and possibly allow me to accomplish some of the bucket list items I have still I want to travel and see old friends go to California and pick it brothers remains and focus on the possibility that I can beat the odds on my cancer . Maybe go to chipsa hospital but that alone would cost 25.000 and while it would help me it wouldn't help family ..it is truly hard for me to reach out for help because I was always the one that was able to help .John and I both loved to be of service within our volunteer fire department but our sickness has now taken that away and Now we have become the ones that need help ...any help would be appreciated even a uplifting note of encouragement helps as I have never felt so alone and fearful of what tomorrow may bring.. I never expected that in my life I would have the experiences I have had but in the end though I am grateful for love and hope.
