Help Amanda Morales and Family
Donation protected
Hi. My cousins name is Amanda Morales. She is a 29 year old full time mom to a 3 year old super hero named Jordan, and she was a full time employee during the week. On September 20, 2021 her life changed forever. She hadn’t been feeling well and went into the emergency room thinking she had a kidney stone, which was not the case.
This is her story:
“I was diagnosed with a rare tumor to be seen in adults. My tumor was 10cm big, and removed along with my left kidney on September 28, 2021. It was called a Wilm’s Tumor and this tumor metastasized and spread into my lungs at Stage 4.
There was no initial standard treatment process since this was such a rarity so it took longer than usual to start a treatment plan. And now that I have, it has been a trial and error to see how my body responds to the chemotherapy regimens which are extremely intense because of the aggression of the cancer in my lungs. I am constantly sick and in and out of the hospital.
Within the month of September, my father was also diagnosed with Stage 1 prostate cancer, and has been receiving radiation treatment with limit to work. We are the only 2 working individuals in my household.
My insurance has begun giving me issues with covering medical bills moving forward. They have started with not covering prescription medication so far.
I am unable to apply for an FMLA Disability leave because I have not been at my job long enough yet. I have been trying to hold everything together but I am slowly falling apart.”
Her family is in need of help to maintain their rent, medical expenses and utility bills.
We are asking everyone to please share her story. Please donate even if it is $1 to help during this time of need. Behind all the pain and fear that she's experiencing, she still manages to keep a beautiful smile on her face
