Help for Agathi (Alia's) stage 4 cancer
Donation protected
Hello, I am Agathi. (some of you may know Photini, my mother). I was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer 18 months ago and then Type 2 diabetes about 4 months ago . My biggest dream is to move but our family (I have a husband of nearly 20 years and we have 3 children ages 16, 13 and 10) has been trying to fix up our house that was built in 1919 for years so that we can sell. Since being diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer I had to quit my job as a full time CNA in an assisted living facility. My husband works but the adjustment to one income has been very hard.
My biggest dream is to sell the house as soon as possible but there are still a lot of things that need fixing up and because of this we have been living paycheck to paycheck which has not happened since our twenties. I cannot buy things as simple as bubble bath right now because of this and when you have stage 4 cancer plus diabetes self care is essential. I also require many supplements and natural remedies to go along with my conventional medications. My mother helps me out as much as she can but this stuff is expensive so of course she cannot do it all (I love you mom, thank you for all that you do!) I have also asked my wonderful Godmother, Stani for help with sharing this fundraiser (I also love you so much, my Godmother, for all of the love and guidance you provide me. I thank God for you every day. )
I also am really wanting to go back to visit the monastery I was baptized at. My soul needs this badly.
I am putting away my pride and once again humbly asking for donations to help with all of this. Pretty much anything helps. I also ask that you please keep my family in your prayers.
The action of love consists in heartfelt good deeds toward one's neighbor, magnanimity, patience, and sober use of things.

Yours in Christ,
Agathi
