I don't know who this lady is, but at the the time of this report, the hashtag #keepdebbiealive was trending on Twitter.
Here's her story and more images:
My name is Deborah Osarere Idiagbonya, I have been living with stage 4 Invasive ductal carcinoma since 2012, an online campaign was created #savedebbie to raise funds for me by friends in my home country Nigeria which enabled me to come to the US, where I have been receiving treatments at Howard University Teaching Hospital till date. I went on remission April-September 2014 before the cancer resurfaced and i started a fresh treatment of chemotheraphy, now my cancer has metasized to the bone and skull wall which is now affecting the lungs functioning well.
I decided to use this medium to raise funds for my treatments because the insurance stopped paying for some of my major treatments and doctor's visitation and the organisations (African women cancer awarenesss association) , (ZURI WORKS) , (Courage to Dare) that has also been helping me can not afford to pay all the bills.
The money will be used to continue my treatments and major surgeries, I need the funds as soon as possible to enable me continue with my treatments. If people can help me raise this money they will help keep me alive, I would be eternally grateful to them like I have been to all the Nigerians that donated towards my treatment in 2012, because they were used by God to keep me alive till this moment when my doctors at the time said I had only a month to live. Please help keep me alive by donating to my treatment and don't forget to continually put me in your prayers because that is a major key to the cause of my healing.
Touching, right?
