Help Donna beat this aggressive cancer

Donation protected
Hello everyone, I’m reaching out on behalf of my very dear friend Donna McBride. Donna is a very loving and caring mother, wife, daughter and friend who is in desperate need of your help. The government canceled Donna’s insurance due to a $64.00 disability increase. 
    Donna is fighting one of the deadliest cancers of all. Melanoma which is one of the most misunderstood cancers and one of the most aggressive. 

       Melanoma is a serious form of skin cancer that begins in cells known as melanocytes. While it is less common than basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), melanoma is more dangerous because of its ability to spread to other organs more rapidly if it is not treated at an early stage. 
     Donna is already stage 4 with 6 tumors that have spread throughout her pelvis, pancreas,lymph nodes and abdominal wall. Donna has metastatic melanoma, stage 4, which is the most dangerous of all. 
    Melanoma can grow extremely quickly and can become life-threatening in as little as six weeks,

Melanoma is the deadliest of skin cancers. Rates of diagnosis for the disease have increased dramatically over the past three decades, outpacing almost all other cancers. Today, it is one of the most common cancers found among young adults in the United States. 

One person dies of melanoma every hour, every day.

Two different treatments have already failed and she’s on her 3rd, praying it works.
Donna and her family have used every penny to their name to fight this battle and now all resources have ran out.  Now after over a year on failed treatments and maybe hope on this 3rd, she needs help to continue treatment. Money is needed for copays, deductibles, prescriptions and out of pocket costs for much needed scans and of course the 20% of each treatment, which by the way, she goes every Wednesday for treatment and blood work. Every 6 weeks for scans. Donna just found out about losing Medicaid as her secondary insurance over a cost of living increase to her disability of 64.00. This measly $64.00 increase could cause Donna her life. 
      There’s no possible way for her to continue her treatment without help. Donna is a very giving person and never asks for anything and that’s why I’m asking. Please help Donna continue fighting this cancer. Please help her to have hope and to start the new year out on a positive note. 
      Please help in anyway you possibly can. Donations, prayer and of sharing her story. Thank you all.
