- Hi, my name’s Lisa. I’m 59 years young and I have cancer. When I heard that awful word, my first thought was the children. I have 5 adult children, many grands, 4 great-grands, and the children I’m raising. Then I thought about my husband Michael, who’s an amazing husband, hard-working, and everything he does is for me and these children. He didn’t know when he married me it included a whole package, but he’s never once complained.
- When we hear CANCER, we view it as sad, a death sentence. I know I did. You’ll have to bear with me; I’m not good at speaking about myself. I actually didn’t want to do a fundraiser for fear of rejection and also because I’m not good at asking for help. I’m usually the one helping.
- I have cancer of the liver, bowel, and bone. As I said earlier, it doesn’t have to be a death sentence, but treatment is costly, at least the treatment I’m pursuing, which insurance of any kind doesn’t cover. I also have multiple sclerosis, so I haven’t been able to work for many years, and of course, most insurance won’t cover me, and I’m not covered under my husband’s insurance. So, I was convinced to start a fundraiser to help with medical expenses.
- My dear friend Tonya has sacrificed her time taking care of me for the past 2 years or more. I’m blessed in many ways and have so much to live for, so giving up isn’t an option. I’ll have to pursue this treatment for the rest of my life. Any and everything would be a blessing. I know some people may take advantage of things like this, but I’m prepared to include my medical records.
- My 10-year-old grandson is super amazing. When he prays, he always includes everyone in his life, especially me. But I’ve told them we’ll overcome all obstacles with God’s grace and divine mercy. I know I’m all over the place with this. I can only put it bluntly: I need help. WE need help. I didn’t realize how expensive this would be. I don’t have many resources. All I know is I want to live. I need to live for these children who have no one else but me to rely on. Sadly, we live in a time where grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc., are raising children that need them. I don’t plan to abandon them to this disease.
