Vivian Jones Brown hasn't added a story.
Our Sister "Vivian" is a 47 year old woman with Leiomyosarcoma Cancer. This cancer is a very rare cancer that not much is known of it.
She was diagnosed with Leiomyosarcoma cancer in 2012. Since then the cancer has spread to her bladder, lung, and lymphoid. However, there is a bright side.
In 2012 the day of diagnosis until 2013 she went to University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS), and things were not getting any better. They were giving her Neulasta shots which was to treat the cancer but was making her feel even worse. She felt like giving up.
One night she was crying and praying and a Cancer Treatment Centers of America commercial came on and she called at 12:00 Midnight. Someone took the call that night and got all the info they could then the next day they called back with good news. She could come. But she now wondered how is she going to pay for it.
She went and they started taking care of her. She was wondering why no one had given her a bill or said anything. Then one day a bill come for $89,000.00 came. Panic stuck her heart! She called the Cancer Treatment Center of America Oklahoma to find out about the bill and to tell them that she could never pay this. They informed her that she had a zero balance, and that an anonymous donor has taken care of her treatment there.
Now that a bright side, Huh.
Along with the battle against cancer, there is now another battle that has occurred. The essentials of her life, so to say, are winning.
She lost the house while getting treatments at UAMS and had to move into an apartment. She lost the daycare that she was running because she couldn't care for the children anymore.
Now every night she has to take Chemo treatments at home until the next visit to the CTCA Oklahoma, where her husband drives her monthly for assessment and treatment. These cost are not covered by the anonymous donor.
Let me not forget to mention, food for the home, housing cost, caring for her son Brandon (school clothes, shoe, and supplies) and everyday essentials that we some time take for granted are in serious need for her right now.
Which brings us to the reason for this request for your help? Any amount would be useful. Please help her continue winning the battle of this disease and the battle of lack that this disease can cause, by helping her fund treatments cost, food for her home, housing cost and everyday essentials.
