So many of you have generously offered how to help me in my fight against cancer, and up until now, I didn’t want to accept it. It has been hard for me to come to terms with the fact that cancer is slowly eroding my everyday abilities. Within the timeframe after round #1, I was overly hopeful that things would somehow fall into place.
And then I got a cold abruptly after round #2. If it had been anything beyond a cold, surely it would’ve included a trip to the hospital. My broken immune system and hazy mental state have meant scaling back on work entirely until finishing all of my chemotherapy rounds.
As of now, there are three major things that could help our household; food for nights that I am too sluggish to put food onto a baking sheet, cleaning, and general help with any miscellaneous items. With that said, here are ways you can help:
FOOD- Our local pizza joint serves so much more than the best slice in Western Jersey and quickly puts out entire meals in a quick turnaround time. We are asking for gift cards to Cesco’s Pizza for those nights that creep up after a long day. https://cescospizza.com/
CLEANING- We have teamed up with a wonderful local cleaning service, Mommy Maids, to come in on the days I have to go in for chemotherapy. The following are links to their payment forms:

MISCELLANEOUS: The last and potentially most important thing is my GoFundMe page. I cannot express how surreal it is to see my name and face on one of these pages, but it is time to eat my pride until I come out through the other side of this.
Thank you to everyone who has taken part in this journey through any measure of support. I am grateful for my loving community, and hold onto the hope that this will in time be an ailment of the past.
