In 2021 I was diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma of the left breast. The very same day I was informed that I was also unexpectedly pregnant. After several tests & doctor visits, I was told that it was hormonal cancer & that my pregnancy was making my several tumors grow at a faster rate, & they suggested that it would be beneficial to my survival rate, if I agreed to terminate the pregnancy. Sadly I had to make the decision to do so & pay the out of pocket expense. After that, I suffered severe depression along with anxiety, & held off on my treatment plan because I was too overwhelmed & upset. I also lost my job due to this reason. In the beginning of 2022, I tried to attempt to start treatment, but the doctor visits kept having to be rescheduled due to their out of office vacations & other patients needs, so I started to lose hope, got more depressed, & started to become suicidal. Shortly after that, my husband called the police & EMS arrived. I was taken to the hospital & then transferred to a mental health facility for further evaluation. Following that incident, I was angry & suffered from worst depression. As my mental health kept declining, I didn’t feel like doing much of anything but sleeping for days at a time, crying excessively, & shutting myself off from the outside world. Eventually I tried to pull myself together again for the sake of my family, & forced myself to agree to the full mastectomy surgery, in which I had done in January of this year, & at that time they noticed another new tumor that they had to remove also, & after testing my lymph nodes, they informed me that they had to remove 9 from under my arm because the cancer had spread to them. After undergoing surgery & dealing with following infection complications, I agreed to have radiation treatments & hormonal therapy. However despite my effort, something happened with my insurance & I have been unable to proceed with any further medical visits or my case plan without paying out of pocket, in which would cost thousands of dollars that I do not have. I tried to work at a new job a few months back to hopefully get better insurance, but I quickly lost it due to a car accident where someone else was at fault, & it destroyed my vehicle, & their insurance company has given me nothing but excuses, problems, & more mental aggravation. So I have not had a working vehicle in awhile for me to even get to another job, & was just offered a well paying one a little over a week ago but haven’t been able to accept it due to transportation issues. So, since the very beginning of all of this, I have been suffering extreme financial hardship, which is why I finally decided to go against my morals & reach out for help.
I am asking for donations of any amount. I’ve tried getting financial assistance through the state, however my efforts have been unsuccessful due to all of the remaining funds being depleted at this time. My goal is to raise enough money as soon as possible, to be able to get a reliable vehicle in which can be used to better my financial situation before Christmas. I am a mother of 3 young children, and without being able to get back working again, my bills are going to continue to keep falling further and further behind, and eventually we are going to end up losing everything. So, please if anyone is able to help, your generosity would mean the world to us, and is much appreciated. Right now, I honestly don’t even have any money at all to buy my children anything for the holiday, but this would be the best gift anyone could ever give my family. I have always believed in paying it forward, and that is what I intend to do, as soon as I am financially able to do so. I want to thank everyone with all of my heart for taking the time to read my post, and thank you for your consideration. God bless.
