Help 2 kids Devastated from loosing mom to Cancer.

Donation protected
On December 17th I was rushed to the ER from work and had a hemoglobin of 2.6 and platelet count of 5. Few hours later I got the shock of my life when the Dr's came in and said I had Leukemia and they were transferring me to Albany Medical immediately! I was alone, shocked, scared and could only think of my girls!! They have now done a bone marrow biopsy and found out it's an aggressive form of AML. They started me on a high dose of chemotherapy immediately and I will need a bone marrow transplant. I will be in the hospital for a minimum of 4-6 weeks while I try and fight this battle best I can for my babies! I have always been the only income and I'm not sure how to deal with the financial burden while dealing with everything else! I'd give anything to be able to just go home and go back to work! Instead I was forced to resign from my job smh!! I do automatically get approved for disability but they won't release any payments until after a 6 month waiting period (how are you expected to pay bills and survive smh) its like they wanna make sure you're going to make it that long before they'll pay you and I've worked the last 22 years and paid my dues smh so I'm reaching out for help, damn near begging for it, cuz I genuinely don't know what else to do!! I don't have the big family support I wish I did! I have us and our girls that's it! I know everyone is struggling right now but if you can spare even a dollar it would be appreciated more than you know! And if not I'll always be more than grateful for a prayer and a share!!
I can’t describe the hurt and pain that comes from loosing someone you love.When love someone deeply in general everything hurts.We was together 17 years.Our 2 beautiful daughters loved there mother,the situation is so bad that when I mention her or anything they change the subject.Its gonna take a lot of counseling ,praying and having faith that in time it won’t hurt as much.I promised my wife I would never let the kids forget abaut her memory or anything that she did!.I thank God it was me that found my wife passed away rather than my kids!!.That morning we had a doctors appointment I went to go wake her up and she was sitting up with here open and frozen!!.I have never seen anything so scarey!! And that same image is what I can’t get out of my head.I know she is not suffering anymore ,and the chemo that she was being given was only killing her slow..Me (widowed father) and our 2 daughters are relocating looking for a new start.I am not ashamed to ask for help or to admit we need help.We appreciate every last donation.Even those who may not have it to give but just have kinds word we thank you from the bottom of our heart.please keep us in your prayers!!.
