Gina and Stephen’s bucket list & Medical Expenses
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Jaime and my little brother, Stephen Lytle married an amazing woman many of you know, Gina Lytle (Petrarca). The sister I never had. The reason I think many of you will know her is because they actually knew each other since elementary school days. We were neighborhood friends. Little did we know that 20+ years later, they would meet again, date for some time and then be married in a beautiful ceremony at Rocky Point on November 20th of 2020. Small ceremony because of Covid but one that will never be forgotten. Less than one year later at the age of 38, Gina was diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer. She is a fighter and has gone through a year of chemo, but the cancer has now spread. My brother carried the health insurance until he was laid off a few weeks ago. My hope is that enough people love them as much as I do and want to help out with, not only the medical costs, but also with anything they want to check off their bucket list! Time doesn’t stop for anyone and for them, it’s ticking even faster - a clock you can’t slow down. I’m doing this so that they can have the reception (more to come on this; however they can’t be present) and honeymoon they never had, as well as simply living comfortably for the time they have left together. Money should be the last thing they worry about. I’ll be doing an in person fundraiser in addition to this, but planning is still in the works. I hope that all of our friends and family, as well as their friends and family see the importance of this donation. We love you all!
