#172 We need your help

Sam Stokes has been one of my most loyal and helpful readers. She makes excellent suggestions during the beta reading stage and always eaves me honest reviews.In 2014, she was diagnosed with Thyroid cancer and underwent a total thyroid removal surgery.

Little did she know that this was just the beginning of a tumultuous journey that would change her life forever. Since then, she have developed a condition called Normocalcemic Hyperparathyroidism. This condition, which resulted from the damage from the initial operation, requires specialist treatment to prevent it from claiming her life within 15 years.And if that wasn’t enough, life threw more hardships her way — she was also diagnosed with a progressive and compressive brain tumour. The cancer treatments which saved her life damaged her digestive system, resulting in osteoporosis, dysautonomia, coeliac disease with malabsorption, an ulcer duodenal, massive weight and muscle loss that caused hypermobility in her vertebrae, and debilitating migraines that lead to vomiting and nausea.

Additionally, she suffers from a loss of coordination, mobility, and ataxia. These are just a few health problems she now faces daily.This journey has been incredibly challenging, forcing her to stop working altogether. But she’s not ready to give up. If the tumour can be reduced and controlled and the parathyroid disease stabilized, she can regain my health and embrace life again.A day without constant pain and headaches is a dream she holds close to her heart.She is now in a desperate situation and in need of financial assistance to fund her treatment for this life-threatening illness. Although her country has excellent basic health care, specialised treatments are not covered, so she must find the means herself.At the urging of a friend, she started a GoFundMe campaign to raise funds for medical treatment to combat the life-threatening condition that emerged due to battling the two different cancers and their respective treatments.Your support could make all the difference. Every donation will go directly towards funding her treatment and allowing her to beat these illnesses and stabilise her health following the two different cancers.She is fighting with all her might to conquer these challenges, but the mounting medical bills and expenses are overwhelming.

She cannot afford the treatments that could heal her body and restore her health. This is where your kindness and generosity can change the course of her journey to recovery.To donate towards her life-saving treatment, simply visit Sam’s GoFundMe page. Thank you in advance for considering Sam’s cause and for your generosity. We are both grateful for any contribution you can make.
