About this fundraiser

Today is a hard day.  I know there are millions of posts and it's hard to read all of them.  I pray this is one that will be read. This isn't a story.. it is my life.

My father and his friend started a go fund me page to help me with some sever and urgent dental surgeries that have came up unexpectedly due to my cancer and treatments.

I've not really advertised or spoke much about it.  I have stage 4 inoperable and incurable cancer.  When they found it.. it had already spread from my left lung to my windpipe and esophagus,  and a spot in my right lung.  In order to be able to survive ive had radiation and now I take double chemo every six weeks.  Most people have certain number of treatments and they are done.  Me...I have to continue double chemo until the day I die.  The great news is my large tumor has responded to treatments and shrunk some and the rest is held at bay.  Now praise the Lord it's been the same for last 2 scans.

I have a 12 and 17 year old boys at home.  Also, an amazing husband.  

Financially I'm at a cross road.  My insurance right now is paying most of my medical.   Dental... not so much.  It only will pay $1500 a year.  

My dental surgeries are necessary for me to live.  They are trying to prevent blood posioning from abcesses.  I just got the news that instead of 5 procedures the urgency has Increased to 2 or 3 procedures...and it must happen now.  I have 6 to 8 weeks after the 1st procedure to come up with the rest.  Its allot of stress to wonder will God work a miracle for me.  I know I'm not deserving..but for my family I'm asking and praying.

Unlike medical I can make payments..due to my circumstance I must have a specialized dentist and payment is required up front.

I've prayed and am stepping out in faith to ask anyone that can to share, pray and help if you can.  

I will say this is the most humbling and humiliating thing I've done up to date.  However,  I'm really scared.

I know there are so many scams.  This isn't one.  This is my life.

Cancers hard.  Watching my 12 yr old Gabriel and my 17 yr old Houston look at me and not knowing how long we have is harder.  I really want to see my son graduate.  

I'm asking anyone who reads this to see what you can do to help.  Asking for your help is so hard for me.

I will say this journey has given me such an amazing walk with the Lord.  Which I dont think I would have ever accomplished without my situation.   I'm very thankful for that..  very rare have I ever prayed for myself.   Its a hard thing when you've always prayed for others.  I still feel selfish doing it.  But I'm desperate.
