Gofundme - need help if you can..

Last edited Wed Apr 8, 2015, 07:30 PM - Edit history (1)

This is one of my sisters good friends. I don't know her, but her plight hit home with me and I wanted to help. I gave $100. I wish I could have given more.

This woman has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer. She is a single mom putting her son through college on a barbers income. The treatments are very difficult and are affecting her earnings.

She really needs all the help she can get. She's had this fundraising page for about a month and just passed the $1000 dollar mark on a $5000 dollar goal.

I find it so sad that a bigoted pizza parlor can earn almost 1Million dollars and people like this who face such real life difficulties can't reach a 5K goal.

I know things are tight for many people, but if you can help, please know it will go to someone who is in real need.

Thank you for your consideration! Please spread the word on your social media if you can as well..

Here is the gofundme page:

I completely understand.

Hopefully those who could spare some will be able to help. I figure if I couldn't give more, the least I could do is bring some light to her circumstances. People can be so kind as we've seen here so often.
