Brain Tumor

Anastasia

I am 30 years old and I was diagnosed with a brain tumor 5 years ago. I started to get migraine headaches and that’s when I went to the Dr. and had a cat scan and an mri done and they found the tumor on the right side of my brain. I need to find $4000 somehow to have surgery done to live my kids who are 2,6,8 need me so I need to come up with that money for my surgery to live long life. If I don’t get surgery I could die in a year. I’m on the list for surgery as soon as possible. This is the scariest thing that has ever happened to me.
