Johnny Dare Morning Show show

Summary: Dear Johnny, My name is Angel and I am looking for a little help this holiday season. I have been raising my two beautiful boys by myself since they were 3 and 5 years old.  Sadly, their dad was killed in a car accident.  I do not have any family here in Missouri with me, so I've had to try and do it all myself.   I lost my dad 3 years ago this Christmas day. I miss him every day. He was a huge part of my life. I was recently diagnosed with stage 4 incurable metastatic breast cancer HER 2 Positive 3 plus which is very fast spreading in September of 2022.  I had a double mastectomy then started immediately on chemo.  I had the "red devil" cocktail which landed me in the hospital after every treatment.  I am still doing Her2 blockage infusions every 3 weeks.  I also went through 30 rounds of radiation which I burnt so incredibly bad, and the pain made me cry every day.  I made it through all of that and stayed positive while doing my treatments.  I just want to live for my boys and watch them grow up. A few weeks ago, I was at the doctor's office complaining about headaches, dizziness, blurry vision and being nauseous.  I had a Brain MRI, and the cancer has spread to my brain.   I will now be undergoing radiation to pick the spots off in my brain. I am still staying positive, saying my prayers. I am a fighter, and I will not give up.  No matter where my cancer spreads, I will deal with it, do whatever the doctors tell me do to, do whatever treatments I have to do just to live.  I am only 52 and want to be around for as long as I can. I've gotten behind on a few bills and would just like to get caught up and catch my breath. The cost of everything has gotten to be too much. I would like to be at a place that if God forbid something happen to me my boys would be okay.   Anything you can do is greatly appreciated. Thank you for reading my story – Angel Who Helped: Tammy, Todd, Jimmy, Kevin, Nick, Todd, Paul, Lindsey, Consentino’s How You Helped: Covered 2 months of house payments, utilities, car payments plus groceries
