Help for Cancer treatments
Donation protected
My name is Eunice Quash. In February 2009, I was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer, Leiomyosarcoma. Two oncologist told me that I had about two to six months to live. Chemotherapy was recommended but offered no positive outcome. At best, it would extend my life an additional 2 months. Medical doctors had no hope after I made a major decision to refuse chemotherapy.
Considering that this cancer could end my life, I made the decision to adapt an alternative lifestyle. I began to see naturopathic doctors, ate organic food, and became a vegetarian all with the support of close friends, family, and my 11 year-old daughter at the time. It has been six years. As a single parent, maintaining this lifestyle has become a huge financial challenge.
As a result of this cancer, I had to leave my job, and depend on disability. As of today, the tumor is still present. Over the years it has been challenging for me to keep up with expensive, alternative naturopathic medication and treatments. Those costs aren't covered by Ontario’s Health Insurance Plan or my insurance plan. Last year (2014) the cancer tumor caused some major complications with my kidneys; I was hospitalized.
I am asking for your financial help to raise $10,000.00 ($500.00 monthly for intravenous treatments and injections treatment) so that I can continue to pay for alternative treatments that have worked so far to extend my life, and have surpassed the doctors’ predictions. I continue to have faith and hope. I thank God, family, friends, and my church for ongoing support and prayers, and the care from my doctors throughout my journey so far. I would greatly appreciate any financial help that you are able to donate. Thanks so much for your kindness and thoughtfulness which will always be remembered.
