April 6th, 2008
There has been an outpouring of support from the blogging community since I announced that I have cancer for the the third time. So many people have been doing such great things.
I’m grateful to everyone who has donated money to Miss Ann’s efforts. I’m incredibly humble that a dream I have to take my daughters to Disney World may come true.
After the trip treatment will start and I’ll be out of work. Currently I work as a temp making $10 an hour. Once I stop working I won’t receive any benefits or disability pay. I’ve also dropped out of school so my student loans, private loans, are going into repayment…a monthly payment of $800. Hopefully the federal loans can go back into forbearance.
I haven’t finished paying my medical expenses from Cancer 2007 and here come the medical expenses for Cancer 2008 with higher co-pays!
The reality is that we can’t make it financially on just my husband’s income. If you know of foundations or grants that can help please let me know.
I have a lot of pride. A LOT. I hate when people put PayPal buttons on their sites asking for donations and feel like a hypocrite that I’m doing it myself but I’m in a crisis situation. If you don’t want to donate at this one’s site or that one’s site and you want to help you can do it here.
The money isn’t going to go towards anything frivolous unless you consider a $40 co-payment for chemotherapy frivolous.
Thank you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
