Help Me Fight Cancer

My name is Isabella. I am 20 years old. I'm from New Orleans, La. I'm a secondary education student,  a writer, an artist, a singer, and a community organizer. I am also a chronically ill, two-spirit, poor, working class, mixed race, indigenous creole woman who is in the midst of battling cancer. My family are all poor, working class, black, red, and brown people and they will not be able to support me financially throughout my treatment. For the last two years, I have been neglected by the medical community of New Orleans. But as of today, I have finally been diagnosed with cancer. Living day to day is an excruciating struggle for me and my family. My single, hard-working mother has had to miss many work days in order to take me to appointments. I cannot work due to my physical condition. On top of dealing with medical necessities, we are terrified of losing the place we rent or not being able to eat some nights. I will be applying for temporary disability and food stamps but with the "benefits" the state of Louisiana gives it's residents, that wont be nearly enough to cover all the expenses i will be facing throughout treatment. 

The money raised here will go toward getting an electric wheel chair so I still can enjoy some quality of life throughout treatment, paying medical bills that will not be covered by medicaid, keeping me, my mother, and other relatives taking care of me afloat financially throughout treatment, and having resources to build a movement to fight against the medical atrocities working class and/or black, brown, and red people of New Orleans are facing
