Hi everyone! I've been researching different charities online that might be helpful to some of you. While searching I came across a charity that is very special to me.The name of this charity is the Susan G. Komen for the Cure breast cancer charity. This is a charity which has been useful to me after my mom was diagnosed with breast and, colon cancer a couple years ago.She was able to have both cancers removed during an operation, and she then had to have radiation therapy.A year later my mom had just been laid off from work and had no health insurance. It was time for her yearly check up for recurring any recurring breast or colon cancer. I reached out to Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation after researching different charities online to see if there was anything they could do. They were very helpful, and not only gave me support, but they were also willing to answer any questions i had.They also gave me the great advice of getting in touch with a local hospital in my area, and they were able to perform the cancer checkup test on my mom for no charge because she qualified for the hospitals financial assistance plan. Her breast exam came back negative, and we are still waiting for the results of her colon exam.By reaching out to this particular charity i was able to help my mom receive the care that she needed.

A little about me

So even though I thought I would never blog I'm glad I get to blog about something I'm passionate about. Although there were probably a lot of other things I could have chosen to blog about, I chose something that's very close to my heart. A couple years ago my dad suffered for 16 cardiac arrests followed by a stroke which left him paralyzed, and bed bound. A couple years after that my mom was diagnosed with breast, and colon cancer and had to have two operations to remove each of the cancers, and she later had to have radiation therapy. I was only nine when my father became sick, and even though I had God, and my family to help me overcome all of the things that were happening in my life it would have been nice to receive the support, and help of a charity. After everything that's happened I've always wanted to one day have a charity of my own helping those who are sick and their families by giving them support and helping provide for their different needs. Since I can't do that right now I decided I should create my blog to help others who are going through different obstacles in their lives and to help them find support from other charities that are willing to help.
xoxo
