Financial Crisis due to Breast Cancer and can’t work

This request was posted on the old FreeBeg forum and is closed. See people who need help right now

Hello. This is a difficult post to write, and a little embarrassing, but I do need financial help. On January 14 of this year I was diagnosed with breast cancer. On February 27 I went out on short term disability to start chemotherapy. Surgery followed, actually two surgeries followed and I will start radiation in about 2 to 3 weeks. Because I am a flight attendant and I am not allowed to work during cancer treatment because of the chemotherapy and because I’m weak and exhausted, I can’t perform my job. I am very grateful that I have the opportunity to be eligible for short-term disability, however I am only making 60% of my salary and have medical bills left. I am also behind on my mortgage and on some utility bills. I also have 3 cats and 2 guinea pigs and must be able to feed them. Oh, and feed me...   I currently have a negative checking balance and must pay my power bill and buy groceries. 

What a relief to find a website like this! I would be eternally grateful for any financial help you could give me. Thank you. Please use this link to donate.   Any help would be appreciated! Bless you!

Please help.  Thank you.
