Family and friends,
This is an extremely difficult post for me to make. I have a hard time asking for help. I’ve prided myself on working hard, working extra…whatever was needed to keep from asking for help. Here goes….
As some of you know, my sister is going through the health scare of her life. It has been a hard, scary few weeks. Her husband has been out of work to care for her. Her medical bills are racking up already. I know she is stressed about how things are going to be paid. As a family, we will do everything we can and will continue to do so. The last thing I want is for her to have to worry about paying her mortgage and other bills on top of meds and other medical things she is requiring. She meets with oncology on June 24th to discuss the treatment plan going forward. We will know more about where we are with the “c” word after that appointment. This diagnosis is so unfair. Penny is the first to be there for anyone in need. She would literally give you the shirt off of her back….and has. That’s just who she is. She is hands down the rock of our family.
Unfortunately, this comes on the heels of Penny and I having to pay dad’s final expenses. She and I both would be in a much better place but one, we had no idea this was brewing and secondly, dad deserved everything we did for him. We certainly do not regret that. It has just made things a little tighter than normal.
A Go-Fund-Me is the LAST thing I ever thought I would have to do. This is quite humbling to say the least but for my sister, I will do ANYTHING to help her. I also have Zelle and Apple Pay if donating here is not an option or to avoid the fees they deduct from what is raised.
I know things are tight for everyone right now and totally understand that there are some who can’t give. Praying specifically for Penny to be healed here on Earth means more than anything to us.
I had no idea what to set as the goal so please don’t think I’m being ungrateful. I just want more than anything for my sister to have what she needs during this fight. Thank you ALL from the bottom of my heart. #PrayersForPenny
