Funds for Spritti Bee

Donation protected
This GO FUND ME was set up to support the medical and health needs of Heather, who was diagnosed at the age of 43 with stage III Colon Cancer. The funds raised through this help her to afford treatment and prevention of relapse. Cancer is a long-term diagnosis with a crushing financial burden. There are between 5-10 years of oncology checkups and procedures required before you are "in the clear". Utmost care must be taken to prevent relapse including but not limited to: taking supplements, visiting doctors and hospitals, eating organic food with no toxic pesticides, using natural products for hygiene, etc. This fund is to help offset the cost of these types of health care options so Heather can remain cancer-free.

About Heather:
Heather is a mother of 4, married for 26 years to Kevin. She's a Christian homeschool mama, professional photographer, artist, blogger, amateur gardener and plant-lover. She is a health nut (by default) and although she has some diet cheats, she eats extremely clean - as clean as she can afford. Kevin and Heather moved from the city and downsized into a small 2-bedroom farmhouse so that they could pay off debt, live organically, garden, and raise their boys in the country. They live in rural Central-Texas.

The Cancer Story:
Lots of people ask how this could happen to such a young person... to nearly die of cancer before you are even 45 years old... cancer is a "perfect storm" that is made up of equal parts: stress, lack of margin, toxicity (from your environment - your water/poisons on your food, etc... and products in your home), poor nutrition (eating choices), lack of sleep, vitamin deficiencies (again, mostly due to what you eat), lack of exercise... even heredity. Many of these things you cannot control... but you can do your best to fight by getting proper rest, proper support for stress, learning to say no and forgive, eating well, avoiding sugar and fake ingredients, getting outside and moving - sunshine, fresh air, exercise... and eating/taking supplements that aim to help you FIGHT cancer growth.

Everyone has cancer cells. Your immune system - if functioning properly - will kill them. Unfortunately, Heather's deck was stacked against her in 2016.

Heather had no "symptoms" other than being extremely TIRED, and due to an unrelated bout of vertigo, and a sweet friend who refused to let her NOT go to the ER, the doctors discovered she had half of the amount of blood a normal person has in her body. After two bags of transfused blood and a myriad of tests, it was discovered that she had colon cancer that had breached the colon wall, the exterior organ sack lining, and entered two lymph nodes out of the 28 they removed. Heather had surgery to remove a large tumor in August of 2016. Rather than getting chemo, she chose to do a natural route including prayer, holistic treatments suggested by a natural doctor, chiropractor, integrative medical doctor, and from research she had done online from various sources.

Every three months, Heather went in for blood tests and annually she had different procedures including sonograms and colonoscopies to check for recurrence. One of the treatments she was doing with her integrative doctor had to be shipped to her from Louisiana because there was no Texas doctor that would administer it. She would like to continue this until she has received an all clear result from her oncologist in 2-3 years (her hope). This doctor is one she must check in with in Louisiana every year or so, but will ship her medicine. In addition, she goes to see the oncologist every 6 months and does whatever procedures needed annually. She also eats organic food (for the most part), juices, takes supplements, CBD, and eats certain foods that are anti-angiogenic (meaning: "they starve tumor growth").

If you are able, please consider adding this Go-Fund me to your charity donation list. It will be open until 2022 or until she gets the coveted "all clear" from her doctors. So far her results have been good, and she appreciates all your prayers and is grateful for every single dollar that helps her to reach her goal of forever CANCER FREE!!!

Thank you so much!!!
