Go Fund Me.... ? Go Fund Me!!!!!!!!!

It was weird, but I started my first ever Go Fund Me campaign.  We don't usually need help, so it was (as everything on this journey has been) quite uncomfortable.  Here's the info that was included, along with the link to the campaign itself.  It will remain open indefinitely so please feel free to donate if you are so inclined.  Or, in a year when I'm back on my feet, you can laugh at me for asking for charity but hopefully by that time, I will have paid it forward.  I plan on doing some charity work of my own when I'm physically able.  Well, here it is: https://www.gofundme.com/shecanlaughwithoutfear On August 6th, 2017, I landed on the Emergency Room Operating Table for internal bleeding.  One week later on August 15th, I got the call that would change my life.   At 33 years young, I was diagnosed with Stage 3 Ovarian Cancer.  This has already been a long road, and it will continue to require lots of attention. Current/accumulated challenges: Unable to work

Prep for Camp Chemo

Preparing for Camp Chemo An Ode To Vanity "It's just 5 days," I told myself While packing my bag of stuff. "You'll just need sweats, socks, and snacks. And maybe some comfy Uggs," No need for makeup, no need to impress. Nobody will be there to see. No need for anything fancy really... But yeah right!  Do you know me?? I got my mascara and BB cream, Determined to look cute I won't let cancer take my confidence And it can't take my attitude!!
