Cancer fight... surgery for life.

I am racing this self funding as recently my family and I, we are struggling to pay a $16.000 for a thiroid cancer surgery and treatment, as international students in Australia, my family have to pay for everything almost in front, my little girl childcare, my son school, my Tafe degree, and now my surgery, as we have a private health cover we are covered for almost $6.000 but we need to find the rest of the money without affecting the rest of our expenses and children normal life.
Sometimes I wakes up and believes that I just had a nightmare, but immediately I touch the ground and that cold reality warns that it is not a dream but the most cruel of the realities that we had to live. But I know we are not alone in this, we know we have the unconditional support of our family and friends and a big faith in God for the possibility of making the proper treatment and soon recovery.
If you a willing to help my family and I we will be eternally grateful about your contribution.
