Disciple of Prayer
My mom has supported me and my sister by herself our entire lives. She does more than what the average person should handle on a daily basis. She works from 3am to sometimes 6-7pm and then does Lyft after work trying to take airport rides to make as much as she can just to scrape by. I work a full-time job over by Planet Fitness; however, between child support and giving my mom whatever I can to lessen the load/burden, it just doesn't seem to be enough. She hasn't had insurance in over 4 years. It's only just recently I found out she was actually diagnosed with cancer—I believe of the pancreas—she won't tell us after I confronted her about it. Every night when I get home, I sit in my room and I hear her crying and screaming from the pain, and now I know why. Her stomach is severely bloated; it's completely disproportionate to her body, and I don't know what to do. I try rubbing topical treatments to try and relieve her pain. Lidocaine, anything—she won't see a doctor, but she says we can't afford it. I don't know what to do, and in a last-ditch effort because at the moment I write this, I'm in complete tears, I just need you all to please. I am on my knees begging you all pray for her. She is the only thing outside of my children that I have left in this world. Please pray.
