Seeking financial help for my daughter, Carrie
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Carrie Ann Berkley. I am a recent cancer survivor (Stage 3B advanced cervical, uterine and vaginal). My mother, Trish Gazaway, started this fundraiser for me. My cancer journey started last year and has been financially and physically devastating. While fighting the cancer, i had an unexpected turn of events. My initial work up determined I needed a blood transfusion. After receiving 2 units of blood, I threw a blood clot to my 2nd toe on my right foot. I didn't realize that's what had happened, and three days later necrotizing fascitis and gangrene set in on my entire upper foot. Two back to back surgeries later all of my toes and the upper part of my foot were amputated. Stopped in my tracks, literally. I do not have private medical insurance. I am receiving financial assistance to cover a percentage of the medical costs, but not all. I was non weight bearing for 6 to 8 weeks and while I started my radiation treatments. I was wheelchair and bed bound. I had a wound vac on my amputation incision for several months since it didn't heal during radiation. I am seeking any help anyone can provide during this short time period until I get back on my feet (or well, my foot). Any nominal amount would help. If you can't donate, please join the absolute army of family and friends who are praying for me. I have been humbled by this entire ordeal and it is extremely difficult to ask for assistance in this manner. Thank you for taking the time to read this. <3 Please share this on your page or anywhere online if possible!
