translation? can't figure out this verb

translation? can't figure out this verb

I am trying to understand something a client wrote and can't figure out one thing. The sentence is "Luchar con todo lo QUASEME ponga en el camino." The "quaseme" is the problem . . . she may have used a phonetic spelling.

Thanks in advance for any help.

P.S. I already have looked in about 6 different dictionaries/translators.

"(I'm going to) Fight anything that comes my way" would be how I'd translate it.

Well written: "Luchar con todo lo que se me ponga en el camino".

Thanks for the help! "I'm going to fight anything that comes my way" fits the context. I'm an attorney who works with indigent clients, who frequently are undocumented Latino immigrants who speak only Spanish. I am learning Spanish in order to better advocate on my clients' behalf and I have them fill out a questionnaire I wrote in Spanish. Understandably, given their circumstances, many of my clients are marginally literate even in their native language and they often use phonetic spellings in their written responses . . . this sometimes makes it a challenge for me!!

Again, thanks for the help it is very much appreciated.

I don't understand what this sentence means. Can someone help? The way that I translate it is "Fight with all you put me in the way." ??
