Our Story

I am a single parent with two teenagers. In December 2022, I was diagnosed with metastatic Melanoma. I went through surgery and treatment through 2023, and it made me really sick. I remained sick after treatment,  ended up in the hospital for 2 weeks at the beginning of 2024 and diagnosed with meningitis and encephalitis caused by the immunotherapy treatment. 

In November 2024, a tumor was found near where the mole was and found Melanoma returned. This time I received different treatment,  targeted immunotherapy for 6 months and then surgery.

At this point, I've lost over 100 lbs, I can't eat, and my hair has fallen out due to lack of nutrition. I'm in chronic pain in my legs and weak with no energy. The last 3 years have been a real struggle. My doctor wants me to go on disability, but I can't because I have a mortgage and kids to care for. Any help is greatly appreciated.
