hi! my name is Kichona. i’m 25, and a mother to an adorable 2 year old. early february 2019, i was told the cancer i was born with (non hodgkin’s lymphoma) is spreading. not rapidly, but not at a snails pace, either. i have a tumor that tends to swell the most when i don’t need it to, it’s very painful and prevents me from working in the industry i work in (warehousing). my lymph nodes fill with fluid and it makes it hard to breath, eat and enjoy time with my son. i’ve been taking medication steadily that helps with the lymph pain & swelling, and the swelling of my arm. i have 2 to 3 chemotherapy treatments left and 2 radiation therapy treatments to go. getting childcare while i’m sick and bedridden hasn’t been easy (not easy as in i have none.) they’ve discovered 2 lumps in my breast that they’re hoping are just dense breast tissue, and i could possibly be facing ovarian cancer due to my family history (my mother had both breast and ovarian cancer)
in may of 2019 my physically & mentally abusive (soon to be ex) husband began an affair with a young lady that won’t quit harassing me. he has since moved in with her. that means i have no means of transportation anymore, being that my car was flooded during hurricane irma.
i was nearly to goal with my gofundme. i received an email from gofundme stating i could begin using a 0% platform fee. meaning they’d reduce the cost of my fundraiser being up. i then increased the fundraiser to try to gain back the donations i’ve recurved over the years that gofundme has taken.
the last post i made for this, is getting “stale” i guess, and i can’t seem to garner anymore attention for it so i’m making this one in hopes that it will. i need donations for my medication, 2 treatments of radiation, 2-3 treatments of chemotherapy, childcare, maybe a (used?) vehicle if possible, rent (we’ve been close to eviction since my stb ex husband moved out. he was the primary breadwinner.) food and many other things.
i am in the process of trying to get help with all of these things but in the meantime, please signal boost this. i’d really REALLY appreciate this.

thank you. this means so much to me, to my son & i.

The attack targeted more than 10,000 dark web sites that were selling or sharing child pornography. The dark web is often associated with criminal and illicit activities such as online drug markets.
I had my “not like other girls” phase in middle school - so glad I overcame that. I’m delighted that I’m like the girls and women around me, because the girls and women around me are incredibly unique and powerful!
