Mary Kreuziger donation support

I have created this page for my cousin who has recentely been diagnosed with breast cancer.  Unfortunately, one of the issues patients become burdened with are bills.  This is the last thing they need to worry about.  Mary, since as long as I can remeber, has been one of the most kind hearted people I have ever met.  When I was a young boy I loved seeing her because she sparked my curiosity in Art.  She is a special soul, and her mother was too.  Like her Mom, she now faces a battle against breast cancer.  Join me in considering donating to her cause.  Every little bit helps.  To you all reading this, best wishes.  Mary's note to the reader is below.

To Whom it may concern:

Thank you for taking the time to look at my page.  I'd like to tell you a bit about myself.  Thank you for your consideration to help!

I am a single woman and live by myself.  I am proud to say I am a Vegan for 4 years now.  I have 2 dogs and a cat.  I have a passion for the arts, the earth, animals and people. I am an artist, have always been drawing or painting on projects for other people or myself.  I enjoy traveling and seeing new places and visiting favorite places in Arizona. I love the outdoors and like to go hiking with my dogs, take photographs of my travels and draw or paint outside.  I enjoy spending time with my family and friends as much as I can.  I consider myself a motorcyclist enthusist, even though I don't have a Harley to ride right now... although I really do miss riding my Harley.

I am a teacher at Sunnyside High School in Tucson, AZ.  I teach Drawing, Advanced Drawing and Beginning Art at the school.  I've been teaching for 3 years at the school and enjoy working with students everyday.  It is the highlight of my day, being a teacher has taught me so much about myself as a person.  I enjoy being of service to others around me.

I was recently diagnosed with Breast Cancer.  I have Invasive Lobular Cancer of the left breast, stage 2 catagorey, grade 3.  I am currently undergoing more tests, and found out that my tumor in my left breast is bigger than the doctors thought it was.  I have possible tumors in my right breast as well.  I am undergoing another breast biopsy and will be starting my treatment soon,  I will be meeting with my Oncologist soon to dicuss next steps.  I will know my test results next week and what plan of action for my treatment will be. I do have insurance through my work,  but I have a high deductable and my out of pocket costs keep adding up.   I am having to take more time off of work for doctor visits and additional tests. I am trying to work as much as I can now because I know there will come a time when I am unable to work for awhile.

Please consider helping my cousin out.  She's an excellent human being and she need's all the help she can get.  Thank you so much for taking the time to visit this page.
