I am a single 51 year old woman with one child and 5 grandchildren. And I have breast cancer.

I am self-employeed and have no medical insurance. Treatments and surgery will cost thousands and thousands of dollars. And then there is the bills to be paid at home so that I don't end up living on the street. 

It is all so overwhelming and seems impossible to keep a roof over my head while not being able to work. 

My bills at home are around $3500 total each month and if I want to keep my business, that is another $8000-9000 per month. 

And that's before i even look at what the medical bills will be just to start with. 

To be honest, I have no idea where to even start with all of this. I don't have friends or family to support me, financially or emotionally. I can't ask my daughter for help, she has her hands more than full with 5 kids and no support from the fathers. 

I don't know what to do. I'm just in a holding pattern trying to find a way to survive.

I've never had to ask for any help. Never had anyone to help. I have no idea what these fundraisers might be able to do to help me, but I am desperate. 

If you choose to help in some small way, then you truly are angels sent from above.
