The Mikesell Family

I am a prior Navy veteran, mother of two beautiful girls. They are 3 & 14. Three weeks prior to my diagnosis in March of this year, we were weeks away from a planning to buy our first home as a family. Within several months of my diagnosis, we lost all of our dreams, our possible new home, and our entire down payment and savings. I have two forms of aggressive breast cancer, this is a life stopping event for us. We are currently living in a 32 year old trailer on my in law’s property. This was only supposed to be for a few short months until we could buy our new first home. However, now it is our permanent home. It is literally falling apart at the seams and you can see daylight in most places in the house. The floors are falling through and honestly my family deserves better than this and we worked so hard to save and now my sickness has resulted in this. My cancer has changed our circumstances to the point we are barely making it and we have exhausted all avenues.
