The health of 15-year-old Jinger Vincent depends on whether her family has enough money to buy gas in order to get her to her medical appointments. Vincent, a life-long athlete, was diagnosed with bone cancer more than a year ago.
Her father, Keith Vincent, said"it's tough" seeing his daughter, once healthy and vibrant, now"wasting away in bed" during the most difficult period of her illness. "Let's pay the mortgage first," Analiza Vincent said."Let's pay the majority of the bills. But the end of the day, I said, 'Wait a minute, we do not have money for gas.' So I end up, like, going the instant cash. That's our best friend right now."
"Having to watch them, 'We have to pay this bill. We have to pay that.' And I'm downstairs and I hear all of that. It just seems so stressful and I feel bad for them," Jinger Vincent said.

Surging Gas Prices Likely Drove US Inflation to 40-Year HighU.S. inflation likely reached a new 40-year high in June, driven up by a spike in gas costs, more expensive food and rent, and pricier cars and hotel rooms. A government report Wednesday is expected to show that consumer prices soared 8.8% in June compared with a year earlier, according to data provide FactSet. That would be an increase from 8.6% in May and the biggest yearly rise since December 1981. Inflation at that level would make it highly likely the Federal Reserve will implement another large interest rate increase at its next meeting in two weeks. Higher rates are intended to cool consumer and business spending and slow the economy and inflation.
