My Story…
When my mom, Esther, was diagnosed with cancer in 2002, my six siblings and I experienced deep human connection and compassionate advocacy from our friends and neighbors. We were kept fed with hotdish and bars, friends' parents drove us to school, and my mom's church threw us a big ol' fundraiser.
Despite all that care, my family faced unexpected challenges and cancer's financial toxicity. My mom died in 2003, and her medical debt was transferred to my dad. Juggling this huge influx of debt, our grief, and our terrible new normal without our mom, our family finances snowballed and we lost our home.
This has shaped my life and my outlook, and I am so grateful to know that Cancer Legal Care is here to help families like mine. The free legal services Cancer Legal Care provides helps to mitigate the legal and financial harm a cancer diagnosis has on individuals, families, and communities.
I hope you will support Cancer Legal Care by supporting me!
