HELLO KIND SOULS! BLESSINGS TO YOU ALL!! PRAYING FOR ALL OF YOU!!
MY NAME IS LISA ISOM AND I WAS SUDDENLY DIAGNOSED WITH SMALL CELL LUNG CANCER, ONE OF THE MOST AGGRESSIVE AND FAST SPREADING CANCERS THERE IS. THIS NEWS HAS BECOME AN EXTREME STRESS ON MY FAMILY. WE ARE TRLUY DEVASTATED BY THE NEWS AND ARE TRYING DAILY TO COPE. I AM RECEIVING CHEMO AND UNFORTUNATELY LOST MY HAIR BUT IT’S A SMALL PRICE TO PAY TO GET BETTER!! I MAY HAVE TO HAVE RADIATION AND A FEW CLINICAL TRIALS BUT THAT COULD TAKE MONTHS AS I JUST STARTED AND I’M ONLY ON MY SECOND ROUND OF CHEMOTHERAPY. HOWEVER, RIGHT NOW TREATMENT AND MEDICATION ARE EXPENSIVE AND THE COST OF LIVING HAS BECOME A BURDEN. RENT, TRANSPORTATION, FOOD AND MONTHLY BILLS ARE ALL BECOMING DIFFICULT CHOICES TO MAKE AND I HAVE A DAUGHTER WHO NEEDS ME TO PROVIDE. IT IS ONLY US IN THE HOME, SHE IS ONLY 12 AND RELIES ON ME DAILY. ALTHOUGH WE ARE TRYING TO OUR BEST TO MAINTAIN THROUGH THIS HORRIFIC SITUATION, SCHOOL IS FAST APPROACHING AS WELL AND THE THOUGHT OF SCHOOL SHOPPING OR SUPPLIES IS SIMPLY OUT OF REACH. RESOURCES ARE DWINDLING AND ANY CONTRIBUTION WOULD GO ALONG WAY AS I HAVE DEPLEITED MY SAVINGS. PLEASE FIND IT IN YOUR HEARTS TO GIVE SO WE CAN LIVE SOMEWHAT COMFORTABLY AS THIS IS SADLY OUR NEW NORMAL! THANK YOU IN ADVANCE AND PRAYERS TO ANYONE IN THIS SITUATION. I AM EXTREMELY GRATEFUL FOR ALL OF YOU WHO CHOSE TO DONATE!!
