Michelle Pirolo's Cancer Battle

Donation protected
Hi my name is Lisa Motto and I am trying to raise funds for my sister, Michelle Pirolo who is 48 years old and was just diagnosed with Stage 3 Ovarian Cancer which has, unfortunately, spread to other nearby organs.  My sister has just begun a series of chemo treatments to try and shrink her tumors which will then require a complicated surgery to remove the diseased areas followed by more chemo treatments.  Her doctors anticipate her surgery to be sometime in October.  Because of this sudden diagnosis, my sister will NOT be able to work for quite awhile which means she will NOT have any income.  My sister is not married and is self-employed with a small skin care business in Florida.  My sister has health insurance, however, it will not pay for everything and she has a very long road ahead of her.  She will need monetary help for her living expenses and also for her medical expenses, medications, and chemo treatments as well.  We as a family are trying to make it so Michelle has one less thing to worry about and can concentrate on getting well.  My sister is hopeful for a full recovery and hopes to return to work in the new year.

Michelle, is a very spiritual, generous hearted, happy woman who has suddenly had her life turned upside down.  She is trying to remain positive during this difficult time.  Our family is helping Michelle in any way possible, but we have decided to also reach out for public support in her time of need.  Any contribution is welcome and very appreciated.  We would also be grateful if you would share this post.  Thank you for taking the time to read this.
