Mom diagnosed with terminal cancer
I am reaching out for my childhood friend, Karen. We shared all good and bad times. Karen married and moved to Alabama. She had a daughter, Amy. After many years of marriage Karen divorced. It was just her and Amy with little child support. She found love again. Eventually he was diagnosed with liver cancer and her happiness was suddenly taken away. She spent everyday taking care of him and her daughter. Times were tough, money short. The apartment she shared with him was lost. Medical expenses wiped out the little money they had.
Unfortunately, in August, 1 month before her fiances death she was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer at the age of 45. Karen had pain in her hip that was excruciating. She took herself to the hospital where she and Amy, 15 at the time, were told Karen had stage 4 breast cancer with metastases to her bone, liver and lymph nodes. They told her she had 2 months to live. Devastated she not only had to have hip surgery she was hospitalized and could not be with her fiance at the time of his passing.
She has only the clothes on her back. Her treatment has recently changed to aggressive chemo since her cancer has gotten worse.
My wish for Karen is that she lives to see her and her daughter's birthday in December. Amy will be 17 and Karen 47. Financially she is in need of simple things such as brakes for her car to get her to her weekly doctor appts. She needs all the basics like clothing, food and medical expenses paid. They literally have nothing . I would like to make this Christmas and birthdays special for the two of them since it will likely be their last together. Please help Karen and Amy have a December to remember. Thank you everyone for your support!
