Help Gretchen continue to fight cancer
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Gretchen Hopper I was diagnosed in December 2020 with Stage 4 Metastatic Colon Cancer. I received surgery in January 2021 to remove a mass in my colon, a full hysterectomy and that left me with cancer in my liver and my right shoulder bone. It's since spread to my left shoulder bone and still have liver cancer after doing 6 months of strong IV chemo. Then 4 months of oral chemo I now have new masses on my spine, pelvis, liver, and left femur. This fight isn't over, there are more therapies and holistic treatments to do. Helping with this fundraiser would mean helping with household bills, travel expenses, and treatments that would assist me in continuing this fight. Stage 4 is not a death sentence it is a lifelong battle. Remission is possible and our God is a Big God who answers prayers and heals those that seek Him in prayer. Our prayer is for remission and a long life ahead. Many people live a long time with this disease.
A little bit about our family, I'm married to a beautiful man Andrew (Andy) who loves me fiercely and the Lord knew he was perfect for me. We have four beautiful children Marissa 18, Andrew 15, Christian 13, and Daniel 12. They all keep me fighting another day along with my faith in God.
Your help is so appreciated in advance, we never thought we would have this battle in front of us, but here it is and a year later the financial and emotional stress is wearing. I never wanted to do a GoFundMe because I am not one to ask for financial help. Definitely, the Lord has provided much this year through our friends and family and we are grateful for all of you, you know who you are.
