At home, she worked hard raising her son as a single mother. Then, in 2013 everything changed when she was diagnosed with breast cancer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I have always been on top of my finances\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In the years since her diagnosis, Melodee\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s life has turned upside down as she explained in her grant application. Once, she held a stable job and was able to stay on top of her finances. Now, she struggles to get by on disability payments and supplements that meager earning by working part time as a Lyft driver.<\/p>\n<p>Saving is made even more difficult, because Melodee travels between Arizona and San Diego to receive her treatment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A SOPFCA Grant Pays for Rent<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When Melodee sent us her grant application, she had been fighting breast cancer for over five years. Now in Stage IV of the disease, she is currently receiving life-prolonging medications as she continues to care for your 14-year-old son.<\/p>\n<p>We were glad to provide Melodee with a grant that assisted with her rent costs. By taking away the stress of paying the rent in the short-term, we hope she can spend more time with her son and focusing on her treatment.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Grant Recipient: Melodee My life has been turned upside down Diagnosis: Stage IV Breast Cancer Treatment: Life-prolonging medications Grant used for: Rent A Pre-School Teacher Receives a Terrible Diagnosis Melodee [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"give_campaign_id":0,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1789","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-case-study"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Women We&#039;ve Helped - Melodee - Shades of Pink Foundation California<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/shadesofpinkfoundationca.org\/en\/2019\/03\/28\/women-weve-helped-melodee\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Women We&#039;ve Helped - Melodee - Shades of Pink Foundation California\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Grant Recipient: Melodee My life has been turned upside down Diagnosis: Stage IV Breast Cancer Treatment: Life-prolonging medications Grant used for: Rent A Pre-School Teacher Receives a Terrible Diagnosis Melodee [&hellip;]\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/shadesofpinkfoundationca.org\/en\/2019\/03\/28\/women-weve-helped-melodee\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Shades of Pink Foundation California\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ShadesofPinkCalifornia\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2019-03-28T22:14:37+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2024-09-24T15:16:00+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/shadesofpinkfoundationca.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/ribbon-circled.png\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Christopher Harden\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Christopher Harden\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/shadesofpinkfoundationca.org\\\/2019\\\/03\\\/28\\\/women-weve-helped-melodee\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/shadesofpinkfoundationca.org\\\/2019\\\/03\\\/28\\\/women-weve-helped-melodee\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Christopher Harden\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/shadesofpinkfoundationca.org\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/742afe9725078b3e7d6c5da2177c6cfe\"},\"headline\":\"Women We&#8217;ve Helped &#8211;
