The Future..........

 This is probably one of the hardest concepts for me too talk about, because frankly I am someone who just wants to do it on my own. Most of the time I can, but thinking about the future a little, but not too much I have decided it's time for me to address this.

When I was first diagnosed and my friends said they wanted to set up accounts and raise money for me I wanted to hide.  I WAS not going to ask for any donations.  I was going to figure this out on my own.  Now I have learned more about what I am looking at and how much time off work I will be taking.

I will be honest and say that I am doubled covered on insurance right now.  I have school district coverage and OHP.  Now with that said there are things that one or the other will not cover.  For example the PET scan was not covered by my OHP.  The other great thing about my insurance is that I renewed Oct. 1 so the deductible I had just met is gone.  I also had to sign up for a better plan then I have in the past with my district coverage for the obvious reasons.  Let me tell you, I am grateful for the amount my employer covers on my premium, it really is a lot, but now out of my already small pay check I will have over $200.00 taken out every month for the lower deductible on my insurance. 

So this is all a hit to the income.  To top that off my sick leave will be used up at the end of October.  That's only 2 months into my 9 month school year.  So everything after October will be unpaid time off.  I am looking at a whole lotta unpaid days.

 Family Medical Leave Act allows me 60 paid working days of unpaid time prior to being at risk for loosing my district insurance.  I'm not jumping that far ahead though.  I can't! 

The point of all of this honesty is not to say please give me money I deserve it and it's definitely not to say FEEL SORRY for me because that is the last thing I want at all.  I don't want to have people feel sorry for me.  I want to be lifted up and have positive energy and vibes around me at all times! 

The point of the honesty is to say....... I absolutely dislike asking for donations but I feel I have no other options.

We have set up accounts to help me go forward.  We have both a Go Fund Me and a Bank of America account that anyone can deposit money into at anytime, anonymously and it will be going to help pay the bills as needed.

Any money donated will not be touched until it is 100% necessary and when I make it through this and become a BREAST CANCER SURVIVOR one of my missions will be to pay it forward!

Other ways to donate:

My mom has had T-shirts made. The proceeds go straight into the accounts if your interested let me know and I can get you in contact with her, or email her at thebackporch5@hotmail.com. They can come in different colors.  She just went simple for now.

One of my best friends is making tamales.  All her proceeds are also going into my funds.  I can get you in contact with her if that is way you would like to donate, or her Name is Michelle
Lynn Orsborn on FB send her a PM.

 I have also received gift cards for every where and I love them, they will be sitting until we absolutely need them. 

Food donations are also welcome and I will eventually have someone set up a web based account to sign up for that.  Currently we are handling food because I have more good days then bad but come surgery and radiation we would love food donations. 

Prayers, right now are also the best donation ever and I will accept those day in and day out PLEASE!

Watching my kids and taking them out for some normalcy is also wildly acceptable as a donation to my family!

Please don't feel obligated to any donations and know that I am just grateful for the readers of this blog.
