Help Nancy & Fam Battle Cancer & Stay Afloat
My beloved mom, Nancy Nielsen, was diagnosed with Stage III colorectal cancer this March and associated complications (anemia, chronic IBS/diarrhea, bleeding and pain). We are currently thousands of dollars in medical debt for scans, diagnosis and treatment. There was no colorectal surgeon in our network in our insurance plan and very little of her treatment has been covered by insurance. Our family has contributed all we can but we are still in way over our heads.
My father and mother are both in their sixties on social security and I have been home for summer helping take care of Mom. We live on a very tiny budget in a small house and my dad has health issues too, and has recently undergone prostate surgery. We need money to support my mom's battle with cancer and needs during this difficult time as well as keep my family afloat while all this is going on.
My mother currently is on a very limited but nutritionally dense vegetarian diet of organic fruits, vegetables, juices and supplements that contributes to expenses. Both of my mother's parents (my grandparents) died of cancer so I fear the worst.
We have run out of funds and are in dire straits. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping us.
