Help Julia with stage 4 metastatic cancer

Hi my name is Julia I am 20 years old and I was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic melanoma cancer in July.

The diagnosis came as a huge shock especially after finding out the cancer had already spread to my lymph nodes, liver, lungs, and some of my bone joints and breast. I had two biopsies on my lymph nodes and liver along with having a port installed. I am currently undergoing immunotherapy which has caused me exhaustion and extreme pain.

Prior to my diagnosis I was working 4 part time jobs plus going to college full time even throughout the summer as a double major. I was on track to graduate college a year early but no longer am able to with needing to take online classes and less credits than planned this semester. I can’t physically work any of my jobs which means I have no income. I don’t get to see most of my friends from work or college that I used to see every day.

It broke my heart after my diagnosis in realizing I was in too much pain to even walk from my bed to the bathroom some days never mind be able to continue with my work ethic. While being in pain and sick has been difficult enough, watching all the money I had worked so hard for years to save vanish has been mentally painful.

The rest of the world does not stop just because mine feels as if it has. I still have a car payment, student loans, everyday expenses, and medical expenses that insurance will not pay for that I cannot afford. I deeply appreciate any help you can give in assisting me during this extremely difficult time. Thank you so much for donating and helping to share my story.
