I am 49 years old and I raised two daughters on my own. Already in my youth, I started suffering from alopecia areata, hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's disease, among others.

At the age of 41, I underwent two cervical spine surgeries, after which my health did not allow me to return to full-time work. I received a disability certificate. At the age of 47, I was diagnosed with a pituitary meningioma, fortunately, at the moment it is a benign lesion that needs to be controlled.

In 2019, alopecia areata made itself felt again, but this time all my hair fell out. I had come to terms with losing the hair on my head and accepting that I would have to wear wigs, but the fact that two months later my eyelashes and eyebrows fell out and there was no chance of them growing back was hard for me to accept.

In 2021, I was diagnosed with it breast cancer, the prognosis is good because the cancer was detected early. Now I have finished chemotherapy, I am waiting for the date of surgery, then radiotherapy and rehabilitation.

In the current situation, the salary is only enough to pay basic bills, so every month there is stress about where to get money for other things needed for normal functioning. So far, I've managed somehow and haven't asked for help. I have always tried to help others in any way I could, but now the time has come that I have to ask for help.
