I know a young mother of 3 who just discovered she has breast cancer. She has no means of paying for the treatment. Do any of you know charities or people that can assist such a mother? Please.

She should apply to the Social Security Administration or seek assitance from the state for Medicaid/Medicare. At least it will pay for some of the bills.
I would also have her call St Jude's Childrens Hopsital. They may treat her for free because of the children. They may also giver her the name of a Hospital or organization that treats Adults for cancers that can not pay.
It's sad that the corporate world has taken over medicine. Years ago medical attention was offered to people whether they could pay or not. But those days have gone by the way side.

Generally in cases like this there is alot of community support in the form of fund raisers and raffles. Contact local churches as a starting point. Good luck and God bless!

The ABA (American Butchers Association) will do the surgery for free. They did a great job on my aunt.
