Help Annie with medical costs

Donation protected
Hi. I'm Gary, Annie's Dad. Annie has been living with a brain tumor for more than 5 years now. Most of it was removed when it was 1st discovered 5 years ago. Unfortunately, part of it is inoperable. She has already had chemo and other experimental treatment since the 1st surgery. She has had a 2nd surgery too. The tumor has now grown and advanced more and requires further more serious action including a 3rd surgery, radiation and more aggressive chemotherapy. This is urgent and this new round of activity has already begun. The tumor isn't like others that can be removed with only surgery like a single mass. This tumor is infiltrative which means it spreads like tentacles. It is also right in the middle of her brain on the meridian between the left and right hemispheres. It is also deeply embedded. This makes it particularly dangerous and difficult to treat. As you can see in the picture, Annie is beautiful. She is beautiful in every sense of the word. All she wanted is to have her own babies naturally and was hopeful prior treatments would take care of the tumor so she could live a normal life. Now she is in survival mode. It is very hard to take and I'm calling on all friends, neighbors, relatives, fellow church members, co-workers to lend your support. Annie and her husband Dom have already exhausted their funds and we're not sure how much insurance will continue to cover. It is heartbreaking. She hasn't given up herself either. In fact, in the year after her 1st surgery she went on earn her master's degree in special education and has been teaching special ed ever since. She is the the living testimony to the resiliency of the human spirit. And she has the best husband a father could ask for. He's been carrying quite a load on his young shoulders and I couldn't be more proud. This whole experience began right after they got married. The picture is on her and Dom's wedding day and those are six of her little nieces. Please help Annie and Dom squeeze more out of this beautiful gift of life and their young marriage. They and all of us could use as much support as you can give both materially and spiritually in your heartfelt prayers. Thank you and God bless you and your family and friends. Sincerely, Gary Wilson, Annnie's Dad.
