Hi everyone, my name is Khristina, and I am a 43-year-old single mother. I was diagnosed with stage 3 Breast Cancer (Her 2+) on July 6, 2022. This has been the toughest journey of my life. I have been pushing through but between rent, bills, and all that life requires, I'm having a hard time staying afloat. I could really use some helping hands to intervene.

 

I was one of those people: hardly ever sick, no broken bones and my only surgery was getting my tubes tied after kid #3, over ten years ago. These days, the hospital has become my version of normal. I have done chemotherapy, double mastectomy, more chemotherapy, radiation, and currently, immunotherapy and lymphedema physical therapy. There has been so many side effects and emotions involved in this cancer treatment.

 

Throughout my first rounds of chemotherapy, I maintained my job with shorter workdays and working from home. After my surgery in January, I had to walk away from the stress of showing up for anything more important than my health. This has been such a difficult time: physically, mentally and financially.

 

As of now, I am still awaiting financial relief. I have applied and reapplied for disability (March and Dec) and my doctors have referred me for available resources. I appreciate anyone who's able to help me get above water during this time. Your donation, prayers and shares are truly appreciated!

 

I am grateful that God has continued to show up in my life. I have not lost faith in His love, His healing and His provision. I know this is temporary and soon enough, I will be strengthened, full of energy, taking care of myself and my family. I already see Him restoring and redeeming! He's not done with me yet! There's so much more to my story! Thanks for reading. May God continue to bless you!

 

"After you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, Who has called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself restore, confirm, strengthen and establish you." 1 Peter 5:10
