Hi. My name is Cindy. I am battling Fallopian tube cancer for the second time. I have treatment currently every 3 weeks. The first week and half I am pretty tired. My husband John &amp; son Cameron are my in home care takers for now. My daughter Christy comes up from Vegas as needed too. What I really need is friend visits and for a week after treatment help with dinner.  We are just a family of 3. We are on a very fixed budget with my husband taking early retirement and our son is working and going to 
college. I too am retired. Thank you in advance.

This e-gift card allows access to all Walmart products. Useful for anyone anywhere.
Why We Love This Gift: We love this gift because it offers access to things like pharmacies when a family you love is in need. Many aspects of surgical care are not covered by insurance - these expenses can add up. This is especially true when a family is on a fixed income. Items like canes, walkers, surgical gauze, and more - can all be underwritten in this way. (Bonus: It respects, as well, the privacy and dignity of the person you love). Supplements that are doctor recommended (always check) can also be covered in this manner. Walmart also just has everything so for someone who has lost their job it enables them to get what they need without spelling it all out. People are proud.
What To Express in Your Card: You'd do exactly the same. xo

Enable this person you love to grab a meal - wherever s/he is.
