Tish's Medical Expenses

Donation protected
This Go Fund Me account is to help Tish Pralicz pay medical bills associated with her breast cancer diagnosis. Tish is my "former" stepmother and because she was never "wicked" (unless you mean wicked awesome), I would like to help raise money to pay these bills. A cancer diagnosis is something no one ever wants to experience- helping Tish financially is one small thing we can do to alleviate some of her stress during this difficult time. 
 
On April 14th, Tish went in to the doctor's for a routine mammogram, where a "calcification" was found. Tish quickly had a biopsy, which revealed breast cancer. Since her diagnosis, Tish has had 3 surgeries, including a double masectomy. Despite these surgeries, her margins were still not clear, and she currently is receiving chemotherapy.

Because of her phyical limitations, Tish had to give up her 2nd job, which helped her pay the "regular" bills. This loss of income adds to Tish's financial insecurity. In addition, Tish does not have any PTO left, so if she needs additional treatment or she gets sick, she will not get paid for the time lost.

In total, Tish needs to pay her deductible of $4500 plus prescriptions at $10 each.

If we meet our goal of $6,000, these expenses will be paid. 

Please consider donating, no matter the amount. Your efforts are greatly appreciated.
