Pam's Cancer Med & Travel Expense's

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Tereasa, I've known Pam all my life. She is not only my best friend but more like a Sister to me. She is loving and giving, always thinking of others before herself. She has very strong devotion to her faith in God and is quick to let you know she has God on her side. To me she's an angel.
She is too proud to ask for help so I'm asking for her.  Any money donated goes directly to HER account.
She and her family can really use help right now.
Pam found out she has stage 3 Cancer in her female area Sept. 2nd, she was asked to return early the following morning to have it removed. Her Oncologist stated he felt she'd had it longer than originally expected, a rather large area was removed on Sept. 3rd.
Her husband missed work to take her for the procedure, it's not something that's in their budget right now, for either of them, however it was necessary.
It's a 3+ hour trip, one way, to see her Oncologist. They took her husbands truck, the brakes starting going out on them on the way. Neither of their vehicles are in the greatest condition, honestly I'm not even certain I can state that they are safe for travel outside of their normal work and home routes.
I had this all written up and ready to submit to her for her to review. I was talking on the phone with her, she stated she would call me right back, her cancer Dr was calling. This was Tuesday, Sept. 8th; she called me back very upset, the Oncologist wanted to see her in his office the next day. She asked if it could wait until her scheduled appointment and was told no, he needed to see her as soon as possible.
 She and her 17 year old son made the trip in a car with no struts in the back as well as having to make frequent stops to put power steering fluid in, adding to the travel time. Certainly not safe for a 6+ hour round trip, this is a trip around the hills, up and down all around the NW corner of Arkansas. 
This last trip resulted in the Oncologist being the bearer of news that certainly wasn't what she or her family and friends were prepared to hear. Her cancer has spread to her lymph nodes. She is scheduled to have another surgery the 21st of Sept. Please, if there is any help you can give her it would be sincerely appreciated. Most importantly right now she needs her car repaired for safe travels on the long round trips to her Oncologist appointments.
This unexpected news has placed a heavy burden not only onPam but her family as well. Her son is taking college classes along with his HS classes. Her husband is now the only one working as Pam is unable to, in fact she will not be able to work for several weeks. Like most families it takes both of them working to make ends meet. We have no idea how long Pam is going to be off.
I can't stress enough what a financial burden this horrible disease has brought to her family.
If you can give any amount to help with 6+ hours round trip travel expenses, any help in getting her vehicle repaired, medication costs, not covered by her insurance, medical supplies, simply put any help at all will be sincerely appreciated.
Pam shouldn't have to stress about financial burdens right now, she needs to rest and get well for her procedure on the 21st. If there is anything you can do to help her and her family at this time she would sincerely appreciate it.
