HELP RUBY BEAT BREAST CANCER
Donation protected
Hi everyone. My name is Alex and my family and I have found out that my wife, Ruby, has been diagnosed with Stage 3 Breast Cancer.
If you know Ruby, you know she is the type of person to take the shirt off her back to give to a stranger, will drop anything to be there for you. Ruby is a loving mother of 4 very caring children who lost their grandmother to Stage 4 Cancer four years ago. Breaking the news to them about their own mum have left them distraught, but we are trying our best to keep them hopeful Ruby will get through this with your prayers, help and support.
The reason for raising this money is due to our financial situation. It has been really tough being a sole income earner. My wife quit her job as she hasnt been feeling the best (and I'm so glad she did and we were able to find out what was making her sick). A family of 6, living off 1 income has been super tough, this year has not been good to us so far but we're hoping for that to change with my wife's full recovery.
The specialists have suggested Ruby try extra medication, known as PERJETA. This type of Cancer Medication is taken in 6 doses, the cost is just over $6000. Unfortunately we would need to pay for this upfront before her treatment and it breaks my heart that i cant provide that for her right away. The medication has been proven to raise survival rate from this type of cancer, from 40% to 60%.
This is why I am reaching out for help. Whoever this reaches can make a difference. Any amount will help. Please help us raise my wife's chances of beating this cancer. I wouldn't know what to do without her and I can't imagine life without her. Please help keep our family whole, we would be broken without her..... Thank you for the blessings in advance.
