Tommy has recently been diagnosed with Stage 4 Metastatic Colon Cancer…after having been dealing for the last year with symptoms, he was finally given the tests and the that was the diagnosis. Because of this , he can no longer work.
Being the sole provider for our family for the last few years due to my own medically debilitating issues, this comes as huge blow to our financial responsibilities, as well as a huge blow to his ego and sense of pride…given the chance, Tommy would be, and has been, working his ass off the long and tedious hours to make sure we are all taken care of us the best he can.
We are applying for SSID, which could take months, and looking for sources to help with our bills and expenses, but those are few and far between, and very rarely take care of the entire set of financial responsibilities. And the $217 I get from welfare is barely going to cover anything…
We are asking for help to cover us enough to get through the rough time of the chemotherapy, and until we can get the assistance we need to carry on…
Thank you all so much for taking the time to read through this…
