This is an original post from Lauren’s personal FB. She needed to raise $2800 for her mortgage and 1200 for the nurse however the nurse is actually 1300 so it’s 2100. She has always said she would’ve asked for money and asked all of her 1957 personal Facebook friends for a dollar. That’s what the reference to that is below to start.
The $2100 will take care of her mortgage next month and one week of treatment with the nurse I’m going to be honest she’s probably getting more than one week, she has eight weeks of oncology treatment. Lauren does not have cancer. Lauren has necrosis of the brain which means her brain is eating itself and she already has a hole that measure that 3.1 mm 2.1 mm deep. This oncology treatment does not work then that will continue to happen until it takes her language, her vision and different areas of the temporal lobe. once she gets to the point if this occurs, she cannot speak or understand language and has no vision. That is when she would not like to be present in the world anymore, but say her goodbye and be celebrated for the fight that she fought privately entered for her children and I’ll be respected that her children will make the decisions on arrangements. Unfortunately, this is where Lauren is at right now. She is currently battling severe cushion syndrome from steroids. It does have to be typed in just like that if you google it. She has managed most of this her own self and taken care of bouncing back with some muscle tone, however, she has early onset from the disease and her bones are still pretty bad a brittle. She has a home wheel chair and all of the products to be taken care of at home, including a waffle mattress to keep bedsores from forming because she has lost 30 pounds of actual weight in the last three weeks. However, she is holding on to an extra 25 pounds of fluids.
Hey, it’s OK. It was worth a shot. I’m going to have you borrow the money from family and friends directly, but that is okay. At this point, my kids are far more worthy and important than my pride. We were able to raise $200 and that’s pretty amazing so for those of you that stepped in with a dollar I guess it really does work in certain ways. I was hoping for more like the Tiktok effect but there’s other people out there going through things. I’ve been living on bard time so if I don’t make it to the oncology appointment, me and my kids are still at peace. I’ve had 40 years here and I do want another 40 but the amount of love they know I share for them and care for them because I’ve been a mother more than I’ve ever been anything else. I was a child for 16 years and I’ve been a mother for 24 and I am thankful for that my biggest accomplishment Was to bring them into this world because all four of them are good, hard-working, investing in this community and they smile and share love every day. So my time here did make a big impact. Now am I gonna actually leave now I’m gonna keep fighting this s**t. Each day I’m working on my health. I am not at the hospital because the one I am actually linked to as my primary cannot have me there if I’m able to speak talk and walk even though it’s decrepit done because they release me to go home thinking I was gonna be able to get Oncology the next day that’s why they were comfortable with it as well. However, I cannot attend any other hospital in this city other than Saint Francis. So there’s some luck right there Saint Francis is more of a general hospital that I could come in if there’s an emergency and be admitted and get my own room however I’ve been away from my kids and people work are busy and being alone takes you. So he thinks Crystal clear with a screenshot. This is why I total up to. I did have a personal friend who I am very close with give me $100 also. So tomorrow we’re just gonna pay the deposit. And hoping in the next week I have the money. The first oncology session starts at October 30 at 9:30 in the morning.
Thank you all again for the prayers the love and the dollars. I always said I would only ask somebody for a dollar and that was my attempt.Thank you all for your love and donation❤️ I am exhausted and am going to bed. I have taken my meds and my goals to get 12 hours of sleep to recuperate. I will begin to give any additional updates tomorrow afternoon.
