Tara thanks you for giving her the courage to move forward! Jul 11, 2016
We've received an exciting update from Norma, Tara's validator with Matrix Human Services. Norma says:
"Tara was excited that I met her at the dentist's office today. She is still continuing her dental work due to the cancer of the mouth. Tara is very thankful to all the people that donated to her. It is giving her the courage to move forward and the strength to take care of her 8 children."
Overview
My name is Tara and I am a single mother of eight living in Detroit, Michigan. Since 2010, I have been going through a rough path in my life because I was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma; a form of cancer throughout my body. Since being diagnosed, my life has been very overwhelming.
I am the sole provider of my family, and my focus is to care for my children. Therefore, I need to care for myself first to be there for them. My health is important to keep my family together, It has been very difficult for me to focus on my dental health because of all the responsibilities I have with my eight children and my cancer treatments.
I need help to pay for my dental work because a big sum of my income has been going towards transportation costs to get to and from the hospital for my cancer treatments and my children. Therefore, I would like to finish my dental work to relieve one of the many stressors I have in my life.
My children need their mother, and I want to be able to support them in the future. By receiving this help, a part of my life will become easier because I would know that I have support and my dental health would be intact. This help would make it possible for me to keep going and focus on my family.
Need funded!
Thank you for helping Tara fund this need.
