Hello Everyone at American Cancer Fund,
This is a very difficult letter to write. I'm reaching out to you seeking help although i understand that your organization is funding cancer research and not patients themselves. I'm in desperate need of help and i'm asking to please help me with information if not with funds. I've learned that people who are in process of becoming permanent residents are in a very tough situation when it comes to health insurance and medical bills. I'm a US citizen and i'm currently working on paperwork for my Mom to become a permanent resident. She has been fighting cancer for the last 4 years (getting treatment in Russia) and this summer her Russian doctors told her that they don't have any more treatment options for her.. I was lucky to be able to bring her to NYC where incredible staff at Memorial Sloan Kettering Center presented us with treatment options for her providing very good prognosis! The problem is that she is currently uninsured as she is in process of becoming a resident, but by the time she becomes one (which could take 6 month) and is able to obtain insurance, it might be too late... We're trying to raise funds to save her life through gofundme.com, the amount is huge ($150,000) and i'm afraid i won't be able to provide her with much needed care on time.. She is a wonderful piano teacher who is loved so much by a lot of little kids and she has so much more love and joy of music to share with the world. This is my fundraising page on gofundme.com: http://www.gofundme.com/dbwras
If there is any way you could help me with funding her treatment, spreading the word about fundraising or giving advice and information on where to seek help i would be forever grateful! 
Thank you for your time reading this email and All the Best to You!
