Hello, I am 18 and my mother died two months ago from cancer. When I was three she was diagnosed with Brain cancer and was given 6-12 months to live. She told the doctors she wanted to live to see me graduate from high school. She went into remission multiple times. Finally last year she was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia caused by her radiation and chemotherapy. I spent the last month of my Senior year in the nursing home visiting with her. I was there when she died two days before my graduation. I don’t care what anyone else says, she kept her promise, she was there one way or another.

To anyone affected by cancer… please keep fighting for those around you. Never give up hope… Ever!

I am happy there seem to be so much out there for young people. I am 50 yrs young. I was diagnosed with breast cancer Sep 2011. A double masectomy was my choice; and they pulled my recon at last minute. Nobody in my county of Northern Calif takes this “special breast/ovarian cancer Ins”. I spent 5 yrs taking care of my Mom with mastastesized BC. She has been gone 5 yrs. I’ve lost everything in a divorce lasting the last 4 1/2 yrs. I’ve lost everything because i wouldn’t forgive hiim for molesting his neice. I walked. My million dollar animal rescue ranch was put in foreclosure on purpose, he stopped payment on my car. He is supposed to pay me 1500 a month; our biz makes 200k a year. I can’t get the courts to enforce cntempt of court without a attorney for my spport, I am hungry alot of times. I get 800 a month on disability; I have signed up to go to a biz college in 2 weeks for 6 ms to up date my skills. I have financial aid to pay for school, but I wanted to get some money to live on and possibly buy a very cheap car. Everything out there seems to by pass my situation.
If anybody knows anywhere I can even get a loan (he destroyed my credit) I would be happy to pay it back when I start working. I’m just looking for a small break to get me going.
Thank You
Tammie

Are there scholarships/grants for children who have lost a parent to cancer (breast cancer)? I have a cousin who is in the end stages of her breast cancer. Hospice told us that it’s a matter of days. She has a son that wants to go to college next year. He has good grades, but our family doesn’t have a lot of money.
I would greatly appreciate any information that anyone is able to provide.

Sincerely,

Sonae

I am a hospice volunteer assisting a 49yr old patient who is looking for possible grants/scholorships for him or his daughter to assist with finances after his passing. Since he is unable to work he is looking for possible grants for his daughter for a future fund for her to cont. her education. His daughter is currently 15yrs old. Anyone know if any resources for this type of information??

I was wondering if these scholarships pertain to just brain tumors and cancer. I did not have cancer or a brain tumor. The dostors could never find out what was wrong. I was 11 and i was a perfectly healthy child never had any problems with anything. All of a sudden one day i was playing in my room when I got a headache that lasted for about 2-3 days give or take. My forehead then slighlty swell up and my mother took me to the emergency room. My whole face then preceeded to swell up as well. I was rushed through two ct scans and an mri in less than an hour. the next morning I was having emergency brain surgery where they cut off part of my frontal lobe and a piece of bone in my forehead. they replaced the bone. I then had another brain surgery four months later then four years later at age 16. I was just wondering if there was any scholarships for this. If anyone knows anything about any please contact me at savannawuenstel@att.net
