Get Better Tarsha

Donation protected



Hi, my name is Tarsha, but I commonly go by the name "Mommy." Life has been full of many struggles and triumphs for me. I am the proud mother of six children, a lawyer for over twenty-five years, and wife to my dear husband Chris. Like many, life hit me upside the head when I was diagnosed with breast cancer of October in 2020. As a working mother, I did the only thing I knew and punched in extra hours in the clock to provide financially for my family after hearing the diagnoses while weathering the horrible pandemic. I knew that I had to provide for my large family especially since two of my children are in college and the rest are entering teenage years where life revolves around food. On top of that, I knew I had to fight breast cancer and could not give up, for my family and community needed me. Needless to say, life threw me a curve ball and of June, I was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. The doctors told me I only have six months to live, and I am also bedridden. Lying on my back for the past two weeks has whispered to me five words in my ear," You cannot do this alone." I need help. In order to obtain treatment that will help me to live, I need $30,000.00. I know. It is a lot, but I know that miracles can come true. I only have six months, and everyday has never seemed so precious regardless that I am bedridden with an oxygen tube in my nose. Whatever amount you give, I thank you. Regardless of what happens, I will not stop believing for healing. Isaiah 37:40 - The LORD helps them and delivers them; he delivers them from the wicked and saves them, because they take refuge in him.
