in case you guys didn't know, its juneteenth. so share & don8!

i'm reserving this space to advocate for Judith who is suffering from severe Long COVID and because of medical racism, systemic and other, proper treatment has been non-existent, unaffordable. she has several kids, one of which was diagnosed w cancer and has faer own fund too.

this fund is three yrs old. and has gone semi viral several times. and its still not funded. that has to change

[illnessfaker]

So, I found a lump Feb. 9th in my left breast. March 7th, results from my biopsy confirmed that it was cancerous. March 8th I met with my breast surgeon who explained what a triple negative breast cancer means and why it is particularly aggressive.

My specific breast cancer is Invasive Ductal Carcinoma. I’ll need 6months of chemotherapy and subsequently, a mastectomy to remove my left breast. This fund is to support my monthly expenses such as rent, utilities, food and pet expenses while undergoing chemo & I am unable to work.

My employer’s already advised me that I wouldn’t qualify for short term disability though as “cancer” is considered a preexisting condition and I was told my diagnosis prior to enrollment into our benefit program which doesn’t begin till March, 18th. I am also only eligible for 2months of unpaid personal leave so my job itself is in limbo as well as I navigate next steps.

I’m still seeking support through other methods such as local organizations but all things take time & with my case, urgency is needed.

A portion of this fund is allotted for the recovery period of the mastectomy. I am currently awaiting genetic marker testing. If positive for certain markers, it would indicate a high likelihood of cancer returning in my right breast, most likely meaning a double mastectomy.

After speaking with my oncologist, I’ll know far more and will update/adjust to reflect that information then.

I’m still in shock. Please share. Please consider clearing my fund.

I’m still also heavily involved with raising recovery and surgery funds for my mother Jude. Please consider assisting us both as this is a particularly difficult time for our family all around.

here is the link to the mother's GFM:

#Repost @inculturedco (@get_repost) ・・・ "After stewing the beef and chunks of pumpkin together in broth, we removed the pumpkin, pureed it, and added it back in, and then the rest of the vegetables. (Soup joumou is almost universally described as a "pumpkin" soup, though calabaza is a squash; it's a sticky subject.) You could smell what was on the stove from the foyer of the building. While the soup cooked, Fleurimond talked about what it means—that is, what freedom means for Haitians, freedom that is the result of the only successful large-scale slave rebellion, a first domino in the eventual cascading of the Atlantic slave trade. "It's our 'but,'" @nadegeFleurimond said. "It's like, we may be poor, but we're the first black republic. We may be suffering but we're children of revolutionaries."
