Send Money: An Online Fund-Raiser

Yesterday I met a Seattle-area woman named Andrea, a 40-year-old former truck driver who has a very serious cancer.

Andrea has stage IV breast cancer and also inflammatory breast cancer. She had cancer in both her breasts and it has now spread throughout her body. She is in treatment with daily radiation, and of course can’t work.

She is also the single mother of a 3-year-old son, John, who she is raising with only erratic support from his father.

Andrea needs a lot of help right now, but her greatest need is financial. She is living on disability and it is just not enough. When I saw her yesterday she said she’d been selling her possessions in order to buy groceries. “I've been pawning them to buy groceries,“ she said.

Please send donations to my PayPal account, with a note that the money is for Andrea, and I will give it to her. Thank you in advance. Jeanne

CA Gov just took almost $500 away from me due to his budget cuts because no state budget, so in no position at the present time to help others.

Bonnie--thanks for the suggestions. I know many of my readers (many many ...) ca't afford to help others financially.

But some can, so that's why I ask.

That is very kind of you to do for her! I wish I could help, I can send a warm light, her poor son. I only hope that there is a light at the end of the tunnel for her.

Warm Blessings to you.
