Tragedy strikes family 3 times in 6 months

Donation protected
Hi my name is Shan and I am the mother of 4 beautiful Daughters. Our last 6 months has been an absolute struggle of tragic grief for the entire family. In October the girls grandad was suddenly diagnosed with cancer and died within 2 weeks causing shock and devastation. Within 4 days of laying him to rest our 26 year old daughter Krissie went missing while travelling to work. After a 3 day man hunt we found her dead in bounday gully. She had had a single vehicle car accident just 8 days before her 27th birthday. As you could imagine it has hit our entire family very hard. Now if that was not enough to bear our 28 year old daughter Ashy found a lump in her breast that was diagnosed as a cyst 12 months ago. 5 weeks ago that cyst changed and became painful. Further investigation has revealed stage 3 breast cancer that has already spreadinto her lymphatic system. The shock was beyond belief but as a family we have had to find the strength to be beside her and help her get through this. We can not bear the thought of losing another child. The treatment is harsh and is going to be a very long process. Ashy is single mum and has a 8 year old son ( Our beautiful grandson Noah). She started treatment within days of being diagnosed and has now completed her first round of Chemo. Unfortunately she has had to give up her job due to being unwell from treatment and having a low immunity. She has informed her realestate that she rents through of her situation as her lease is nearly due, only to be informed that the owner is selling and won't be renewing her lease. The financial burden of everything that has happened over the last 6 months and Ashy not being able to work is bringing extreme stress and anxiety to her. We believe it takes a village to raise a family and are asking for donations to help relieve the financial burden on her. Stress on top of everything else is not going to help her fight this. Ashy is fiercely independent but right now can not find a way out. Pleeeease help us to help her find her way.
