Help Mariana receive a life saving treatment
Hello,
My name is Joshua Stevenson. I never thought I would be creating a go fund me but unfortunately life has a way of humbling us in a time of need. Anyone who knows me know there are not many things I take as much pride in as being a good father.
Unfortunately, I recently found out that The Mother of my two children (Mariana Mustachia) has recently been diagnosed with a high grade of dysplasia. Cancerous cells in her cervix that are growing rapidly.
At this point the cells from forming into cervical cancer will be a high probability according to the doctors we have seen unless Mariana gets a Loop Electosugical Excision Procedure (leep) as well as a hysterectomy very soon. All previous procedure have been unsuccessful at this time.
Mariana is a single mother of three that works full time as a dental assistant with health insurance but unfortunately has a yearly deductible of $7,000 so any procedures done will be out of pocket.
We decided to set a of goal of $10,000 due to the over all cost of getting these procedures as well as Mariana's not having any accumulated PTO to recive income during recovery Thankfully her employer does offer FLMA to secure her position but unfortunately that also un-paid and she will have to be out of work during recovery .
Me and Mariana haven't always seen eye to eye but she is the mother of my children and my heart goes out to them in this time as a father because my god knows my children are not ready to lose their mother and I'm not ready to see my children watch their mother fight cancer or worst case scenario lose their mother early.
So we are doing everything in our power to come together as a family and support system to fight this together. We are living in difficult times and I understand having more to help others can be difficult. So any contribution is appreciated. If your not in a position to help financially? Simply sharing this post or offering up positive thoughts and prayers are free of charge and are very appreciated.
Unfortunately, our medical system works off payment for our survival and our cost of living doesn't allow us to have some time to heal up or else I wouldn't even be creating this post at this time.
Thank you for taking the time to listen to our story and if you find it in your heart to offer anything it is so greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Joshua Stevenson
