Help Sheila's son Tyler with Final Expenses
Donation protected
Help us raise funds for our dear friend Sheila who is fighting metastatic (stage 4) melanoma brain tumors.
Late last year Sheila underwent emergency surgery to remove one golf ball size tumor. She subsequently underwent radiation to treat 6 additional tumors. Sheila was tested for the metastatic melanoma BRAF gene and this is her future. She is facing immunotherapy for the rest of her life. There are repercussions to these therapies that will result in fighting additional chronic diseases (i.e. thyroid, diabetes, etc.)
Her spirits are good. Kerry and I (Bunny/Bernadette) had a great visit with her in January. As you can imagine dealing with the medical prognosis alone is overwhelming. She is disabled and has been unable to work since the fall and this has put a financial burden and multiple stresses on her that I'm hoping this fundraiser will help to alleviate.
Additionally, Sheila's only child, Tyler is a 1st Lt. in the US Army currently deployed to South Korea and hopes to be return to post in Colorado Springs to be closer to his mom.
