Meet my dear friend Amy. Amy, in her 40’s, has been forced to endure what nobody should EVER have to especially while struggling to raise her daughter and 2 sons. Amy was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer just under a year ago. She underwent, a bilateral mastectomy, chemotherapy, and in the midst, Amy lost her job due to her inability to work due to the side effects of surgery and treatment. She recently underwent testing, only to find out that the chemotherapy didn’t do what was hoped for, and the cancer has escaped the breast area. She is devastated, her children are devastated and afraid, and her Landlord has no mercy, and is serving eviction papers on Friday. She will then have no place to go, as she has no family in the area. Amy has always been a go-getter, living life to the fullest, and having to endure many things that a mother shouldn’t. The ACS has promised to help, but she hasn’t received any assistance for her rent and bills for almost two months now. This is a tragedy. She’s contacted local charities for help. Apparently, the resources are thin as she only receives “we’re sorry, but...” letters. I am coming to you as not just a dear friend to Amy and her kids but as a compassionate and empathetic soul, and asking you to please help Amy and her kids via a financial donation, if you’re able. The worry of her impending health, upcoming surgery for a total hysterectomy to remove the estrogen producing ovaries that caused this cancer to begin with, is a burden no one should bear, and facing eviction. Unfortunately, this is her current situation. Thank you for any help and prayers you can contribute to this very unfortunate situation. If you’re unable to make a financial donation, please remember Amy and her kids in your prayers. God bless, and thank you. Christina Markoff
