Retired minimalist. Found a place in the Central Wheatbelt of WA. Every day I'm amazed with the resilience of this Earth and the persistent damage we humans inflict upon it through consumerism. Heart failure survivor.

I need to raise $950 by Monday, 2/9 when I have my PET scan. My pain has been excruciating, as I'm waiting for Signatera results.
My medical debt from 18 years of fighting this beast is crazy!
Can you help? If 25 people donated $20, I'd be about halfway there!
Thank you. ❤️

Fighting #cancer is the hardest thing I've ever done. It's been an 18 year battle - now stage 4.
I need to raise $750 by next week so I can meet my deductible. I see my oncologist on 1/19 & it will all be due.
