Brain stroke and cancer

I was a senior in college taking classes and suddenly I turned into a snow White color. I couldn’t think I couldn’t breathe in the middle of an economics class. I went to see the doctor and they told me I was fine days later I had to go back again, and that was when I found out I had a cute lymphoblastic leukemia. I put myself in a very small plane that flew from Indiana took a pitstop in Colorado and then flew to Los Angeles to check into Ucla hospital. I was covered in machine products being wheeled in thinking this was the end for me. They told me I was fine that their treatment was gonna work two weeks later I told the nurses my head wasn’t feeling well and suddenly like a nuclear bomb. My brain just exploded. A full brain bleed started rushing through my head and I couldn’t stop the overcast of fog just rushing through my head. I couldn’t think I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t do anything both together ruined me. That’s what explains why even though the cancer only took four years to fix and ended up taking seven years to clear all the fog out of my head every day when I get up in the morning, there was nothing I could do the fog would just keep a rolling through my head and never stopping to a point where people just could never understand the severity of the problem. If it was minor it would’ve been pretty quick but it wasn’t like I said it took seven years to Fix. But even with that, I finished my education as well. Spent some time working, but unfortunately lost my job since the economy was severely negatively impacted during the covid virus. Even though I fixed the problem what I learned pretty quickly is that brain damage is permanent it never 100% heals. My brain will be a broken machine, physically and emotionally for the rest of my life in a way that nobody will ever understand because they’re lucky enough to not ever having to face this. I’m doing this GoFundMe wanting to raise money, not only to cover the medical debt, but also knowing that my medical costs are gonna be skyrocketing through the roof for the rest of my life combine with the fact that I’ll need other costs long-term. Any help you can give would be very appreciative. I wish I wasn’t on here, but to be honest, I’m not sure if I’m ever gonna be able to go back into the workforce in the way I was in the past if I wasn’t in this much trouble I wouldn’t ask for that amount of money but again that’s just what I need it for knowing that stroke survivors will never function normally ever again thanks so much
