This is so tough. I beat Stage IV esophageal cancer, pneumonia 15 times, necrotizing pneumonia that nearly killed me,  a feeding tube, 2 major esophageal surgeries, a house fire and now they've discovered mets on my lung and want me to restart treatment. My son and I are homeless. I have 25 cents in my pocket. A very kind person paid for our hotel room until Monday. There is an opening in a place that has furnished apartment style units for around 400.00 per week. The Social worker at the cancer center can get funding in about ten days but no sooner. None of the agencies in our area will cover lodging. I can't even start this treatment until we are settled. The shelters here have waiting lists. I'm so distraught. I'm hoping for a miracle, that some kind soul can cover the cost of that apartment. They could just call the place and do it by phone. We have ten bags of our belongings that we salvaged. I don't know what to do. My son is all I have. I need a hand up in a big way. We will also need to take an Uber from where we are now to the new place. Or if someone could even pick up one night at our current motel to give me another day to figure out what to do about the place I would like to be in. Please, anybody if you can help, please do. Thanks so much.

Request an Oncology Social Worker from your treating hospital or clinic right once to arrange for emergency housing, obtain health insurance (such as Medicaid in the US), and manage your care.
