Wife got diagnosed with fractured vertebra. While look at it, they found cancer. A lot of cancer. Cancer in her breast, spine, rib cage, sternum, and pelvis. Waiting for the diagnosis of what cancer (appointment is the 30th), but the doc already stated that it is sta
We don't have insurance and are already working hand to mouth. This really bothers me to ask for help, but this is bigger than me.
My wife runs/ran a Home School Resource Center. She provided classes for home school families and resources to help them find a teaching method that works with each child. She had classes for the littles (Tall Tales, Cinderella in different cultures), to computer programming with the teenagers (sratch/blockly) with robots to program. She provided a safe place for parents socialize while the kinds can play. She has many special needs students and treats adapts things to allow them to participate in the same classes. She does this at no cost to the families.
We also run a (low key) animal rescue. Felt our city was not doing a good job, so we put our money where our mouth was. We currently house around 40 cats (do you know how hard it is to count a cat colony that are not in a cage?) and 12 dogs. We house and feed them not matter the condition. Recently we got some feline pathogens in our colony, so we are not taking any new animals, but we are maintaining all the ones we currently housing. Essentially we are running a cat hospice now.
I could go on talking about how great Bambi (actual name) is and the things she does.
We are accepting donations for bills/medical and final expenses.
I would like to be able to say that I am handling this well and taking good care of my wife, but that isn't reality. She is my rock. Hate seeing her in pain. Hate what the pain meds do to her mind. I am filled with rage that I can't do anything to help her. Have turned into a Karen.
Anyways, If you will help, great. If not, I get it, everyone is asking for money. If you don't have the money, I understand. Take care of your own people first.
