Heidi Bitsi's Cancer Expenses

Donation protected
I am writing this to ask for help for my mom, Heidi Bitsi.  April 2017, my dad Pepe was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer.  After a very painful battle he passed away January 5, 2018, shortly after in May of this year my mom Heidi was diagnosed with Lung Cancer.  She had surgery in July to remove part of her lung.  One week post-op she was rushed to the hospital because she couldn't breath.  She was in respiratory failure and had to be put on life support.  The lung that the surgery was performed on was collapsed and filled with fluid and she had a pulmonary embolism in the other lung.  She was extremely critical and the Dr's were not sure she would survive.  Thanks to many prayers and the grace of God she recovered from this crisis.  My mom was out of work on and off for my dads illness and has been out of work for her illness since May. She is presently undergoing aggressive chemotherapy and is unable to work.  She has also used all of her vacation and sick leave from employment and will now have to go through the remainder of her cancer treatments without income. My mom and my dad have me, I am 20 and a sophomore in college and my brother Niko, 18 who will be starting college next year.  Unfortunately due to the fact that my dad was on longterm disability for other physical health issues he had no life insurance policy.  My mom had a small one through her employer which was only enough for my dads funeral.  In the last 18 months, my family has been through more then most people will have to endure in a lifetime.  With all the pain, both physical and emotional my mom, brother and I have been through, she also has been financially struggling since the beginning of this rough journey.  Anything you can give to ease our financial burden, would be so greatly appreciated.  On behalf of my mom, and brother and I, we want to say thank you to her employer of 31 years, Hematology Oncology, and all of her coworkers for all of their support and donations. Thank you for any contributions that you can make towards my moms cause. We know that she will beat this cancer! Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers.
