mutual aid and rent relief for S as she battles stage IV breast cancer
some info:
The country they are currently immigrated to does not allow mutual aid, so this will be our only opportunity to crowdfund. S’ brother, L, is returning home for a week to arrange paperwork for their mother. Once he leaves, I will remove this fundraiser for S and her brother’s safety. Thank you so, so much.
Hello everyone, I am posting this on behalf of my three cousins, who are requesting mutual aid from the people online in more fortunate circumstances. They are three immigrant workers from the global south and medical refugees in a country in West Asia. Currently, my cousin S is fighting stage 4 breast cancer, and due to a deeply upsetting and misogynistic situation, she, alongside her brother and sister, all working class, were forced out of the home they were staying at.
My aunt recently had the opportunity to come and help S with her illness; Unfortunately, while there, she suffered two heart attacks. I am gathering funds to support S in three ways. First is to extend our aunt's visa as she is in no condition to return home. Second is to alleviate their food and housing insecurity, as their combined income is eaten away by S’ cancer treatments and rent. Third is to pad their emergency funds, as S’ chemotherapy is unavailable in our home country and only available in where they are currently immigrated to. Again, we are so grateful beyond words for all the help!!
Visa: 1,000 usd
Rent and food alleviation: 500 usd
Emergency funds: 200 usd, anything extra we receive.
Support L
Because of the sensitivity of the situation I can not divulge more information than I know some people will need, I am humbly asking for understanding; S is near homeless for unbelievably sexist reasons, rent takes up almost 50% of their combined income, and her cancer treatment is not available in the philippines, she will die here if she gets deported ):
