My husband and I are hard workers. We raised 6 children, 2 of them active military, 2 nurses and a chef. We both had great jobs. Not rich but comfortable, finally. Then came a knot on my husband's neck. Stage 4 metastatic squamous cell carcinoma.  He started treatment last October. He couldn't work obviously and thankfully had 4 weeks of PTO. However that left lots of weeks unpaid, lots of medical bills and needs and me having to be off work to take him treatment many days. He is doing much better and is able to be back to work mostly. Unfortunately my bosses decided to let me go, knowing why I had to miss a few hours a week. We are so far behind on bills. I found another job making 20000 less but it's a job. I'm waiting tables a few nights a week after work, but I'm drowning. 3000 would change our lives right now. I could breathe again. Thank you ahead of time for your prayers.
