survivor of thyroid cancer

“Entertaining the idea of going back to grad school has been put aside as I struggle to pay for the school debts I already owe and keep afloat with rent and other incessant bills. The stress and the reality of the limbo that I live in are just part of daily life. Any assistance the SAMFund could give me would be immensely treasured. Truly, the hardest part of being diagnosed with cancer at this age is the limbo you face in terms of assistance.”
