Help Sam Fight her battle against Brain Cancer

Donation protected
Hi my name is Jennifer, and I am raising money to assist my daughter , Sam, in helping finance her needs while she has her greatest battle against Brain Cancer. Sammy started her battle at the age of 10 when her first tumor appeared. Surgery was done, and her family believed she had beaten it. Cancer returned at age 17, 21 and now at age 24. This time is different. She needs assistance with medical bills, transportation and medications. Instead of surgery this time, it seems she will be treated with medication (with similar side effects as chemo) and then surgery. With each surgery, it has become more difficult. If you don't know Sam, she is a proud, independent, intelligent and funny young woman who has survived this condition for most of her life. She always has time to find ways to be kind to others and put a smile on others' faces. She loves anime and gaming. Any donated amount is appreciated as it will ease her stress and allow her to focus on battling this relentless condition. We will also post updates as they come. Thank you again.
