Eddie had a rough time of it over the last year. Diagnosed with breast cancer, she underwent a mastectomy and is still undergoing chemotherapy.
“That’s okay; I got enough use out of it!” she jokes about her breast.
Despite her buoyant spirit, the breast cancer wasn’t the last of the bad news. When she returned home from the hospital after her surgery, she found that her husband had left and took the dishes, car and bed with him.
This left Eddie to sleep on a sofa and eventually an old mattress on the floor as she recovered from her surgery and weathered a divorce. Thanks to our generous supporters, Friends In Deed was able to help out. Eddie is now recovering in a nice, new full bed wrapped up in a cuddly new blanket!
