Here is her story:
"After finding out that the pay for the work I do at home was to be cut by 40%, I was unsure of how I would pay my rent and bills. While trying to figure this out, I was diagnosed with a particularly aggressive form of breast cancer (inflammatory breast cancer, or IBC.) Through immediate action by doctors that truly cared, I was able to qualify quickly for Medicaid, since I cannot afford health insurance. I feel so fortunate that I don't have to worry about money for my cancer treatment.
The problem is that since I am now going through cancer treatment in the state of Washington, I must stay in this state. I make money when I can writing online, but the treatment really takes it out of me and I simply cannot make ends meet right now. I have no family or friends that I can stay with here, and I need to keep the rent up on my apartment, which is $540 a month. A wonderful organization called "Cancer Patient Care" is helping me with my electric bill...which is a godsend. I also receive help with food, which is so appreciated.
I live simply...wanting only the basic necessities. Rent, of course, is my main concern. I would appreciate any donations to help me with this monthly expense so I can concentrate on surviving this cancer instead of worrying about eviction. I'm sure that better days are ahead...but for now I need a helping hand.
Thank you in advance for any donations you can offer."
