Help Debbie rebuild her life after breast cancer

Donation protected
Hello dear friends and kind, giving people. I’m Patricia, Debbie’s daughter, and I am here asking for your urgent financial support right now to help my mom with her continued care and treatment battling breast cancer as well as to help her get back on her feet as she has lost everything during her battle with breast cancer. My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer in November 2019 and because of insurance and COVID her treatment kept getting delayed & delayed again causing extreme stress and anxiety for my mom. She did not receive her first treatment of a mastectomy of the left breast until May of 2020. She then could not do anything for 12 weeks while healing from the mastectomy. In November of 2020 she got her first reconstruction surgery which required another 12 weeks of recovery. Then in March of this year 2021 they had to do a second surgery on the breasts which also required another 12 weeks of recovery. My mom is currently on a 5 year estrogen blocker regimen to hopefully keep the cancer from returning. My mom has 2 more surgeries that they need to do but she has had to postpone them due to her not having any income and no place to live and recover after surgeries.

During the past two years I have been my moms only form of support. I have been her emotional support and her only source of financial support. When she received her diagnosis she did not receive any form of support from other family. I have had to move my mom into my tiny apartment where she has been battling cancer from my couch. Now we are losing our place and I urgently need to get my mom a safe place to live.

It is very difficult for my mom to ask for help. She is a single mother to four. 3 human kids and 1 fur baby named Sami. She is a loving grandma to 4 and soon to be a first time great-grandma. She has worked hard all of her life and never asked for anything but was always the first one to help someone in need.

It is extremely hard to handle all of this on my own and want to thank everyone for any and all donations to help my mom be able to get a safe place to live so she can continue treatment as well as get her last 2 surgeries so she can finish everything the doctors want to do and kick breast cancer to the curb!

Thank you for whatever you can contribute; no amount is to small.
