Review for Pink Warrior Angels, Copperas Cove, TX, USA
I want to thank every single person who donated to this organization, because you changed my life, thank you so much. I am 40, diagnosed with bilateral breast cancer at the end of May 2021, had a double mastectomy in late June and my second cancer surgery on 10-6-21. I have worked full time, 1-2 jobs, since I was 15, I am single live along with my dog, however, after my employers insurance paid their portion, I was left with close to $6k in medical bills. I live paycheck to paycheck so for me personally, I was not afraid of breast cancer, the financial burden was the greatest stress I have had through this awful journey. I grew up very poor, I put myself through college twice, therefore I have $30k in student loans and the same time I found out I had bilateral breast cancer, I was in a car crash and had 4 broken bones in my right foot and lower shin. I have never felt so grateful in my entire life, then when I received the email from Pink Warrior Angels, that they are helping pay my breast cancer bills. I began to cry , happy tears, because I am alone, my family is not close and I have had to rely on myself for full care, and help from my best friend, as well as a nurse practitioner who works for one of my cancer doctors, she has supported me and lifted me up with words, reminded me how I did this, on my own and how strong of a woman I am as I don't have a support system or a supportive family. I have been through a lot of very hard things in my life, that I did not ask for, that I did not deserve. This organization, the donations by you, gave me faith, hope, encouragement-knowing, there are generous and good people in the World, there are selfless people who are kind and giving...Thank you, I am forever grateful for your donations, for this organization and I want to say to every one who had or has breast cancer- never ever give up. I believe God gives us challenges, to overcome, and it makes us stronger, and I believe he gave me this challenge to overcome to make me stronger, cancer changed me, I am different now. Much different..Thank you again, Steph
