#TeamZalma
Hi my name is Zalma and I just swallowed my pride and made a Gofundme account like many have told me to do a long long time ago. For those of you who don't know me I am a 36 year old single mother of a 14 year old beautiful daughter. I was diagnosed with Stage III C Breast Cancer on February 24, 2014 and has since metastasized to my blood stream and upgraded to Stage 4. Since my diagnosis I have had 36 chemo treatments, 12 surgeries and 36 bone marrow transplants 25 radiations and I am still on a daily oral chemo and go to the cancer center on a routine basis. Through the Grace of God I am still here fighting. My driving force and my blessing is my daughter Trinity. Aside from the cancer, financial stuggles and being unable to work becuase of my health has been hard. I am blessed to have so many family and friends providing emotional support and charity fundraisers over the years. I do all I can to hustle and make money any way I can by refurbishing furniture even cleaning homes against advise from my medical doctors so that I can help support my baby girl. Recently I was on Fox 40 news for my only vehicle to get to life saving appointments being stolen and thankfully found but not in a condition where it was drivable and I had to come up with the money to pay for it to get out of impound. I have more surgeries to undergo in the near future that insurance is refusing to cover because they are deeming it "cosmetic." Up until now I have never asked for help. I don't want to be seen as a charity case. I have had too much pride and I am stubborn and trying to handle this cancer battle on my own but I am to a point where I need your help. My daughter said it best "Mommy even Heroes need help at times!" I cried. I lost sleep over it but finally realized she is right. I do not know what the future holds for me but I know one thing and that is I will continue to stay positive & fight. If a donation would be to much at this moment, a share & a prayer would mean a lot to me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of your love and support. Have a Blessed Day.
