A humble plea for support change my life
Dear kind Donors
I arrived in Canada with my husband and our three children, carrying with us a treasure trove of dreams and hopes. I was determined to enhance my prospects, so I dedicated myself to learning English, a vital skill in this new land. As time went on, I decided to further my education by enrolling in college. However, life had a twist in store for me that I could never have foreseen.
During this journey, I was diagnosed with breast cancer, a devastating blow to my family’s aspirations. The treatment journey was grueling, consisting of chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation. Despite the pain and challenges, I persevered, determined to fight for a better future for my children.
But life’s trials weren’t over; seven months later, I was faced with yet another daunting diagnosis: brain cancer. This was a turning point, one that tested my spirit to its very limits. With immense courage, I underwent a delicate brain surgery and continued with radiation therapy.
The toll on my body and spirit was significant. I found myself in a position where I could no longer work, and my husband, nearing retirement age, struggled to secure employment. Our financial situation grew dire, and we found ourselves burdened with a substantial debt of $90,000, unable to meet our obligations.
In the face of these challenges, I felt my hopes slipping away, and a sense of helplessness began to consume me. I couldn’t fathom how I would provide for my children, who were my driving force throughout this tumultuous journey. The weight of uncertainty and the fear of not being there for them weighed heavily on my heart.
In these trying times, it feels as though I’m living on borrowed moments, unsure of what the future holds. The one thing that keeps me moving forward is the enduring love and resilience of my family. We hold onto the belief that there is still a glimmer of hope, and that there are kind souls out there who can offer a lifeline to help us navigate this challenging chapter in our lives.
The adversities we face may seem insurmountable, but I hold onto the strength within me, the love of my family, and the belief that there are compassionate individuals who can make a difference. It’s my fervent wish that my children can fulfill their dreams, and I can only hope for the chance to see them achieve the bright future I envisioned when we first set foot in this land of opportunity.
The journey has been long and arduous, but I haven’t given up. I’m a fighter, and I’ll keep fighting for my family, no matter the odds. We may be facing one of life’s darkest chapters, but I believe in the resilience of the human spirit and the power of compassion to light the way forward.
