Help Justina Couzens with cancer treatment
Donation protected
My name is Rorye, and I'm fundraising for my sister, Justina. Just a few days after her grandfather died on November 24, she went to the local hospital with low blood pressure and trouble breathing. They found she had fluid in her lungs, pneumonia, and her iron was dangerously low. She had to have several blood transfusions.
More concerning, the doctors discovered a mass in her abdomen. They determined it was stage 3 colon cancer and initially thought part of her colon would need to be removed. Now they have changed course and are starting chemotherapy this week (the second week of December). We're not sure at this time how many rounds of chemotherapy it will take, but I will be sure to update you with news as it comes.
Justina is a working mother of three: Kaidyn, 13, Bradley, 8, and Raelynn, 5. She will, of course, have to take some time off from work to recover from the pneumonia and get well enough to receive chemo. Her husband is also hoping to take some time off work.
I am hoping to raise enough money to help Justina and her family bridge the gap from having to take time off work. Ideally, I'd love to help raise enough to begin covering what she will have to pay for cancer treatment after insurance.
I know times are hard. Anything you can spare will help. Thank you
