The Stinson Family

When I moved to GA from MD, I immediately started searching for a GYN doctor. I had been experiencing so much pain and hemoraging for so long-I was exhausted all the time.  I found one, and went in on a Monday.  Tuesday, I was asked to come back in to go to the hospital across the street for additional tests.  I had Stage 3 ovarian cancer.  That same Friday, I was admitted for a complete hysterectomy.  In addition to the newly found illness, I have been suffering from Lupus since 2009.  I have made myself get used to the pain, because I have children and a grandchild to take care of. 

Now, here I am STILL fighting trying to get my job back (they fired me because they are saying i did not inform them of my disability). However, I did not know!!! I have not worked this time since May.. I am indebted for my living arrangements. I substituted at a few schools, but at $90/day those funds were easily spent on things my children needed or a small amount of groceries.  All my hair is gone, and as you see on the picture-my biggest supporter is my precious son.  He said to me, "mom I want to wear this so I will be like you!".

Currently, my chemo treatments are over $1000 each time. My stress level is at an all time high, which is now affecting my lupus.  The ONE person that should have been by my side in sickness and death.....is now gone. With all that being said, I cannot get evicted.  We are safe here, we are welcomed here, and this is our home! My landlord is not overly concerned with my illness. He just wants his money-and he is a big time investor so I do not expect much else. The economy is suffering , and I am sure I am not helping him right now.  

I would be forever grateful if you or your organization assist my children, granddaughter and I.  It would truly mean the world!!!! Sometimes at night I just cry thinking about what if this or that happened.  I am in a very low place.  I pray you see our needs.  Thank you so much, God bless you all!!!
