Need help please
 

I am a 25 year currently going through chemotherapy for stage 3a grade 2 Er, Pr, and Her 2 positive breast cancer and it has been a journey to say the least. I am not sure where I can go to for help or if there are places that even help with what I am going through. I am struggling to pay for my bills and don't know what to do. I started a gofundme account to try and get donations and so far have been able to raise $70 which I am thankful for because that's more money then I have in my checking account. Please help me if you know of any places. I have already contacted Cancer Care and I might qualify for a $150 grant it just takes a couple weeks. Thank you in advance for your help. Please feel free to private message me or respond to thread.

Ok thank you Lizbeth I will look into that right now.

I think the hospital should have a social worker, maybe they can help you or at least tell you where to go. I take it your family can't help out? Call your local political office (state senate or whatever) and ask for where to go for help. where do you live? so sorry you're having these problems along with your cancer. good luck

Lizbeth the program you told me about ran out of funds last year, but thank you.
Sarah my social worker told me about Cancer Care and I have already contacted them and then American Cancer Society is going to send me some information on other organizations that may be able to help me. I live in southern California, San Bernardino County.
