ANGIE'S CANCER BATTLE!

Hi, My name is Leila and I am fundraising for my sister...

Can you help Angie (aged 44) continue her Cancer Treatments and support her 2 young kids?

My sister Angie was given the news her Cervical Cancer was terminal about 2.5 years ago and given only 2 years to live, with no medical treatments available or viable. As you can imagine, for a single mother of 2 young kids then 8 and 6, this was heartbreaking news to receive. Refusing to simply surrender, she sought alternative therapies and treatments at her own ‘extremely’ costly expense. Whilst these have not cured her Cancer, they have extended her life and given her valuable time with her adored 2 young children, Jagger (10) & Isabelle (8). Unfortunately, about 6 months ago she had to stop these treatments due to financial hardship. Her Cancer is sure to get momentum and metastasize and she is not going to be able to financially support herself and 2 kids, let alone return to the treatments that have extended her life thus far, let alone the pain medications required to assist with her 24/7 chronic pain. I am asking for donations to assist her for at least the next 12 months (if she has that) in her treatment, day to day living costs, counselling fees for her 2 children and to simply be able to enjoy her time left with her kids without the added stress and worry, on top of her physical and emotional pain. She cannot and has not been able to work for years due to chronic pain, fatigue, complications, operations, treatments etc. If you can help or would like to know more about her Cancer Journey, please read on.

Since being diagnosed with Cervical Cancer in 2016, a diagnosis she literally had to fight for because she was told she was fine by doctors but knew in herself something was not right Angie has had;

Full Hysterectomy

Chemotherapy

Radiation Therapy

Brachytherapy

Hydronephrosis to one kidney (only 1 kidney functioning now)

Bowel surgery

Nephrostomy surgery to drain her working kidney due to loss of bladder

And lost her bladder and bowel due to damage caused by the intense Radiation treatment.

She has had multiple trips to ER and endured unbearable pain and suffering all whilst remaining positive for her children who are LITERALLY her entire world.

Angie hates asking for help but is quick to help others, she has remained so strong and positive through all her experiences and her only weakness is the thought of losing her children or them losing her. She may not live as long as we would all like, but she is determined to live her best life. Fortunately, her Cancer has not metastasized as yet but without any treatment at all this could happen at any time. If you can, or know anyone who may be able to help please donate or share this Go Fund Me.
