Support Angie While She Fights a Brain Tumor

Early in the morning of January 17th Angie Machado suffered an intense seizure waking her family and landing her in the back of an ambulance while she was still unconscious. 

Angie awoke while in transit to Providence Hospital in Portland, Oregon. At the hospital they preformed a CT scan that showed swelling and a mass in Angie's frontal lobe. She was then sent for an MRI which showed a 5cm by 4cm tumor. Angie spent the day in the ICU on anti-seizure medications before being sent home. 

She has since met with a Neurosurgeon who believes the tumor is an Astrocytoma and is recommending surgery as soon as possible to remove and biopsy the tumor. The surgery has yet to be scheduled, but we will know the date soon. 

Angie is a self-employed house cleaner (and a damn good one), and has already missed several days of work. She hopes to work as much as she can until the surgery, but is now unable to drive becuase of the possibility of another seizure, making it hard for her to get to her clients home. 

Angie, her partner Mike, and son Liam are in immediate need of financial help to keep the rent paid on time. They will need on going help while Angie is recovering from surgery and unable to work. We do not know what their exact needs will be as we move forwards or if they will be faced with medical bills from this down the road. 

Please help this small family fight a big tumor! Any amount helps!
