Help Jane Marie Boehm with medical expenses

My name is Christina Cortes. My siblings and I are doing this gofundme to help my mother Jane Marie Boehm.

Our mother went to the eye doctor for a routine eye exam to see what was causing little floaters in her eye. During the exam, the ophthalmologist noticed an abnormality and referred her to a specialist. After seeing the specialist in September and getting some results she was informed that the spot in her eye was suspected to be cancer.

She was then referred to Wills eye Institute in Philadelphia. After more tests etc,she was also given the devastating news on October 25, 2021 that on top of having this rare form of eye cancer (Ocular Melanoma), she unfortunately is among the small percent that has the type of cancer which has a very high chance of metastasizing to other parts of the body.(mainly the liver and lungs) She will be having her scans this coming week to see if her cancer has metastasized. All of her Oncologists are located in Philadelphia as they specialize in this very rare cancer that affects five out of 1 million adults.

Unfortunately when diagnosed she had no medical insurance so we started looking for one that would accepted by her specialists. We found one and at the moment we are paying premiums which are high and of course any copays and medication that is prescribed for her. In November, she underwent plaque radiation therapy for her tumor and now eye shots every four months for the next two years. Unfortunately it is not covered for her shots as well as lodging when she needs to be in Philly for a few days at a time. Not only is she dealing with this issue she also has chronic ulcerative colitis since September 2021. She underwent a colon resection where they removed about a foot of her colon. She since then has had Clostridium difficile colitis (c diff) she needs a fecal transplant which they do not want to do due to Covid. So we are kindly asking for donations to help with some of the medical bills to relieve the burden and stress that it has caused her since she is no longer able to work. Anything helps!!! Thank you all so very much.
