I was diagnosed in December of 2009 when I was 27 years old. I have had 28 surgeries along with chemotherapy and radiation. Thankfully, I heard about the Help Now Fund through my cancer specialist. She referred me to them. I was going through so much and I was unable to work. Everything crashed down on me. I did a 360 after my first chemo treatments. I was sick, weak, and unable to do much of anything. Read More.

I was diagnosed with breast cancer March of 2011. I then decided to go forward with a bi-lateral mastectomy and an auxiliary dissection. The biggest burden I faced during my
treatment was my finances. I was braced and in endurance mode to get through the surgeries and chemo but, there was nothing I could do to keep up. I began to fall behind on my bills, even more so when I could no longer work. Read More.
