Hello, my name is Kimm Techau, I am sharing this Go Fund Me for my dear friend Emily Jelinek Smedley. She has recently been diagnosed with Stage 1, T-Cell Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma. She will be unable to work while she goes through 12 weeks of initial chemo therapy. She has a softball size tumor sitting on her heart, creating cardiac problems as well as the cancer battle. Emily has been a pillar of our small community for years as a friend, parent, and business owner in Athol, Idaho. She owns and operates Country Clinical Massage, taking care of all those around her. The clinic has partnered with Hayden Yoga and Massage to keep the clinic operating, but Emily is unable to work during this time. She is a single parent and has to be able to keep her home and life afloat during this hard time.

Any funds donated will be used to help cover the large amount of ongoing medical costs, and living expenses for Emily and her Daughter (and Jaxs). Any donations are greatly appreciated. If you are unable to financially donate, we ask that you keep Emily and her family in your thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time. Super one or Costco gift cards would also be greatly appreciated, if you are wanting to help with food costs. Please send to P.O. Box 1015 Athol, ID 83801.

Emily has completed her first round of Chemotherapy. She is very fatigued, which is unlike her. She is preparing for the impending hair loss that accompanies a cancer journey. We will continue to update this site as we can with new information as the situation progresses.
