When Talisha McClain was diagnosed with breast cancer in March, the mother of three knew she was going to have to make some hard decisions.
McClain says she wasn’t able to work during cancer treatments, eliminating the family’s income.
“How am I even going to go to the store to buy basic things like dish soap, washing powder, toilet paper, food or clothes?” McClain told KJRH. “I had to move out of my home to a small apartment going from a three bedroom home because I couldn’t afford it.”
At that point, 16-year-old Tyler McClain decided to take matters into her own hands. In addition to working a regular job and mowing lawns, she decided to take on another task.
“I came home one day and was like, ‘Mom, I want to start a cupcake business,” Tyler McClain said.
She began advertising her cupcakes on Facebook, and sold more than 500 to help pay for things around their apartment and her mother’s cancer treatments.
Even Tulsa Mayor G.T. Bynum’s office called McClain and ordered some delicious treats.
Doctors say McClain can’t go back to work until January, so Tyler says she plans to continue baking until then.

If the story is true, I love the young womans compassion and work ethic. Very encouraging and I hope her mothers cancer therapy is successful. God bless them.
They are in Tulsa. Not the permit-happy liberal states.
What a great daughter!
I see a “Gofundme” about to surface.
This story couldnt possibly be true. This couldnt and wouldnt happen under obamacare. /sarcasm
