My name is Persephone. I’m 20 years old and I have hodgkins lymphoma. I have done 6 months of chemo and am hopefully done. I will find out when I get my pet back in the middle of june. However I found out in the middle of treatment that I also have thyroid cancer. I will undergo surgery for that sometime in the next few months. To be quite honest cancer has beaten me up and taken all of my money. Chemo has been incredibly painful and difficult and I haven’t been able to work since I started treatment. I can’t stand for more than 30 minutes and visits to the hospital are unpredictable. This is the hardest time in my life and I’ve decided to put aside my pride and to reach out for help. My parents have been working tirelessly to take care of me financially and have been taking care of me in terms of health as well. They are tired. I am tired. I want to be less dependent on them and give them a chance to save for retirement. I have zero money in my account and no assets. I have been on food stamps since february and I want to get off of it. I would also like to start saving for a car. Any amount given I would be forever grateful. I don’t know the future of my health and I am terrified. I want my family to have peace of mind in every way.
