To Whom it May Concern;
My name is Mary and this is my family's story. On January 17, 2011 my husband was laid off from his job due to plant closesure. He has yet to find employment. He is on his third teir of Unemployment benefits. Which is only $219.00. I am unable to work as I was diagnoised with Stage 3B invasive ductal carcinoma breast cancer on April 14, 2011. I had surgery to remove my right breast and 23 nymph lodes. Four weeks after my sugery I went through 13 rounds of chemotherapy, and currently undergoing 33 rounds of radiation. Which is daily. I have to drive one hour each way everyday to receive treatments. It costs us about $120.00 a week for gas. So that leaves us with a $100.00 a week to pay our house payment, utilities, and basics for the around the house. But this is not happening we are picking and choosing which bills to pay so we can feed our girls, and make sure they have the neccessaties that they need. As of right now we are unable to buy Christmas presents for them as we do not have any extra money. I am afraid of losing our home as well. This has been the worse year for my family. I have become so drepressed and have anixety issues because I am worried about our fanicail situation. My team of Doctor's tell me not to worry because it is harder on my body as we are trying to fight cancer. Well it is really hard not to worry. My husband and I have always been able to pay all of our bills on time and have nice holidays for the kids. This is just heartbreaking for me. I do realize they are so many others with worse problems than me. And may God bless them to get through their situation.
