My beloved has a friend with breast cancer in need. My beloved appeals:
“Dear Friends and Family,
This is one of my oldest, dearest friends. I have known Amber since first grade. She is battling the toughest fight of her life. I am reaching out because she is in desperate need of help. Life is kicking her ass right now. I am asking for prayers and donations. About a year before her diagnosis, she separated from her husband. She moved into an apartment with a roommate who left shortly after her breast cancer diagnosis. She has been living in an apartment with only the essentials. No furniture to speak of. She took a job in a textile factory working the night shift on an assembly line. It’s a good job but there are times that she is too sick from the side effects from her chemo treatments to work. She recently tried to move to a smaller apartment. She cannot move in until their pest problem is under control, so she is in between homes right now. This summer, she was in a car accident. She was hit from behind and her car was totaled. Amber’s mother is ill, but is doing her best to help take care of her when she can. Her father was a Penn Hills police officer who died of cancer 20 years ago. Amber has a son, Zachary, who recently became a father himself to a sweet baby boy named Knox. She also has a daughter, Zoe, who holds her hand when she is sick. Amber is tough and proud, and I have never known her to ask for help. So I’m asking for her and with her. All prayers and any donation will help. I am sending this to everyone I know and ask that you do the same. Please, please, please pass this on. Much thanks and gratitude.”
