Essential worker single mother needs surgeries

She is an essential worker and has never hesitated to continue her work as activities director at an assisted living center. She is loving, fun and always there to help.  Every time I visit her at work to help with a craft or just say hello, the residents light up when they see her. Her mother is undergoing chemotherapy and radiation for cancer, and in spite of her ill health, Nikole is always there for her mother; planting her flowerbeds or just saying 'hello' through the glass door. She has raised her two children, Raven and Charles on her own, and has always worked hard to give them the love and security they need. 

 Nikole is now in need. She has undergone numerous expensive tests and a surgery that has put her $10,000.00 in debt. The surgeon says it is urgent that she undergo another, much more expensive surgery to remove a large growth in her intestine. She has already been off work without pay for weeks. Nikole has decided to postpone this much needed surgery, jeopardizing her health due to her financial situation. This second surgery will mean a long, painful recovery and another two months off work without pay.

Nikole is my niece; the best niece an old lady could ever hope to have. I worry that we might lose her if she puts this surgery off. Please help my beautiful niece. The world needs more Nikoles!
