Courtney's medical fund

Donation protected


Courtney Smith is a young vibrant woman with a unique personality. She is a vital community member in the Rochester South Wedge neighborhood. She has been the soul of Thread for many years. Her passion for art continues to play a role in her personal and professional life. If you’ve had the joy of meeting Courtney, she’s always laughing, always dancing, and always enjoying life. She draws inspiration from Frida Kahlo’s strength and artwork as you can see in this picture. Always mindful of her healthy habits, she was beyond shocked to learn of her recent diagnosis of Stage IV colon cancer.

Necessary surgery and then further medical treatments will keep Courtney out of work for an extended period of time. After further testing and discussions with her physicians, she learned that it had also metastasized to her liver. This is a much more involved diagnosis than originally thought. She will require several months of chemotherapy to be followed by a liver resection, more chemotherapy, and yet another extensive abdominal surgery.

Courtney and her family are overwhelmed with this diagnosis but remain optimistic through this challenge. With the pending chemotherapy and surgical procedures that Courtney faces, we are looking to alleviate any financial stressors she may face. We are reaching out to help our girl!

We are beyond appreciative of all previous donations and those that continue to donate.
