This says it all. I'm not trying to be morbid. I have my sights set on living a long beautiful life. But being diagnosed with #cancer 4 times has taught me to say what I feel while I can. I want SO MUCH to be able to focus on making memories with my family. Please help & share. ❤️ (Cont'd ⤵️)

Me again. Ashley desperately needs help b/c she can't get the testing and treatment she needs for her Stage 4 cancer b/c her insurance company turns her down! We need to raise $750 by this Sunday so can you chip in only $10 or $18, $25, $50, $100 or more? Click: www.gofundme.com/f/help-a-mom...

Mitch McConnell took 92 PAID days off and retained his benefits. He "came back" for a few quick votes and is gone again. I have ZERO paid leave because the little I had was used up last school year. I teach 5th grade every day while exhausted. I need a substantial amount of help. Thank you. ❤️

The amount of money Jeff Bezos "earns" in 5 MINUTES could completely pay off the debt I've accrued while fighting #cancer for the last 18 YEARS. He could be doing so many amazing things for humanity. What a shame. I hope to someday live in a country where I don't need this help. ❤️

There is an extra layer of grief that comes with worrying that your children might lose you. Thinking of them navigating life and not being here to help them is excruciating. I want to be here for everything. Please help me afford the tests and treatments that make it possible. ❤️ #Cancer #Stage4

Another day, another denial. Every couple months, my Signatera ctDNA test gets denied again. They say it's "experimental" & hasn't been proven to increase outcomes for patients, but it tells my oncologist if I have tumor DNA in my body BEFORE it would show up on a scan! $4,900. Every 2 months. 🫩😞

Paid sick leave doesn't exist, including for #cancer patients like me. #MitchMcConnell took 92 PAID days off (and frankly continues to), directly benefiting from a policy he denies the rest of us. Meanwhile I'm teaching 5th grade every day so I don't lose benefits & income. Please help & SHARE! ❤️

While these guys hoard money, people like me go bankrupt or die because they can't pay for the care they need to literally survive. They are seemingly never satisfied with the amount they have. My life would be changed by the amount of money they "earn" in mere minutes. This isn't right. ❤️😞

I went to college, got 2 bachelor's degrees, a master's degree, a teaching career. I had my babies, married the best man I know. And it didn't matter in the end. I got sick, really sick. And I have nothing to show for the years of hard work because medical bills took it all away. We need change.
