We have just found out that my wife Bonnie is diagnosed with stage III Breast Cancer. She will need to go through extensive tests within the next two weeks to determine if the cancer has spread throughout her body or not. Being only 47 yeras old you can imagine how deeply worried we are. Bonnie already has Fybromialgia and coupled with Chemo therapy beginning next month we anticipate her being out of work for several months.
Losing her as a secondary income will be devastating for us. We are meeting with an attorney next week to initiate bankruptcy procedings. If we didn't go that route we would definitely lose our home and everything else in a very short time. Even after this step there is no garauntee I can afford our 1st & 2nd mortgage by myself.
I am a former Police Officer who has since changed careers after relocating. I am also an active Volunteer Firefighter (Lieutenant) in my town and have thoroughly enjoyed serving others for more than 15 years in such capacity. It is so hard for me to write this but this humbling experience widens our eyes as to how fragile our bodies are and can now sympathize with all the rest of you who are in need.
If you are in a position to help us in any way get through this and make it through this treacherous year I implore you to search your heart and do so. I deeply love my wife of fifteen years and cannot write in words what she means to me. There is so much more I would love to give to her or places where I would like to take her but jut cant do so with the finacial burden before us. I can only pray that she makes it through this and we can enjoy each other for many more years.
Thanks for reading this post.
