Yours.
doctor assured her that her cancer
was slow growing, she knew that
it could take up to a year for her
to save or raise the funds needed
for her surgery.
A good friend of hers
mentioned contacting Careity
Foundation to see if they could
help. And they did, in a big way.
Careity paid Perkins’s hospital bill
in its entirety.
“I can’t say enough good
things for them. I don’t know what
would have happened if they
hadn’t helped with the hospital
bill. I was shocked when they said
that’s what they were going to
do. They are doing great things.
At some point I hope I can do
something for them and pay it
forward for someone else,” said
Perkins. “I just truly believe that
Careity saved my life,” she added.
For other people who get a
cancer diagnosis, Perkins suggests
to them, “I would say to have
faith. Believe, and prayer is impor-
tant. I truly believe Careity and
everyone who has been there for
me were blessings from God. I
totally believe in the power of
God and that He has a plan for all
of us,” she said.
Perkins is happy with her
outcome and is looking forward
to spending time with her family,
which includes her parents, her
two grown daughters and five
grandchildren. She doesn’t know
for sure that she’s cancer-free yet,
but said, “We believe that with
surgery and radiation, we got all
of mine.”
