medical bills and life expenses while I'm off work
Donation protected
Hi, I'm Laura and I'm here to ask for your help one more time. I'm a breast Cancer survivor. Diagnosed in 2020, recently I started experiencing lots of symptoms, so I saw my dr. and they ordered scan and other test. They discovered a mass in my head 3cm big, all this all happened in the last week. I'll be seeing my oncologist early Jan, but the MRI of my brain says it could be a Glioma vs. Metastasized brain cancer.
So far, I have to take a leave from work as my work requires the speech and motor skills that I've now lost, and I don't have other sources of income. My husband can cover some expenses, but my mom and 2 kids are coming to the U.S to help take care of me while I get through this (hopefully). I don't have enough PTO to help me while I'm off work. I'll be receiving some bills for my treatments that are not covered by my health insurance. We are also in the process of looking for a much-needed larger home to provide more space for my children and mother coming to the U.S. We will also have and additional expenses of groceries and other supplies for all of us. I'm asking one more time for your generosity and financial help while I get through all of this. I'm ready to fight this unforeseen health battle but that doesn't mean it's going to be easy. I don't want to become a burden to my family and for them to have the financial concern. Because health insurance doesn't cover all the expenses, I've personally experienced and have witnessed a lot of people going through illnesses such as mine, end up bankrupt or homeless because the financial situation becomes extremely difficult to manage. So, please help us get through this and have fewer financial worries so we can concentrate on my health.
Love
Laura
pd: I'm so very grateful for your help in advance, you're allowing me time for myself and no worrying how we are going to get by.
