Support Courtney Fato & Family During Her Recovery

In the fall of 2023, Courtney underwent genetic testing and discovered she has a mutation in her CDH1 gene, which means she has a condition known as Hereditary Diffuse Gastric Cancer (HDGC). After further testing, it was discovered that she has precancerous cells in the lining of her stomach. Courtney's options were to continually test until the cells became cancerous or undergo surgery to have her stomach removed. After careful consideration, Courtney decided to go through with the surgery. The surgery is invasive, and she is expected to have a long road to recovery. As a loving mom, wife, and nurse, Courtney has helped many people throughout her life.

Now it is our time to help her and the Fato Family. Throughout her recovery, Courtney will be unable to work, and her husband Ryan will be supporting her and their family. We have started this fundraiser to help with the medical costs and monthly bills to ease the financial stress during this time. We appreciate any donations and look forward to supporting the Friendly Fato's.
