Help Kim Croy Beat Cancer!!
Donation protected
This page is to raise money to help our dear friend, Kim Croy, in defeating cancer and assist with the astronomical medical expenses involved with treatment and travel. The Croys are some of the kindest, most genuine, and generous people I have met. While they were very reluctant to accept help, it is safe to say so many people want to do so. Please message me directly if you would like to donate airline miles.
Kim has unselfishly served our community for decades as a nurse at both MUSC and the VA in multiple critical care roles. Shortly after her retirement, she was diagnosed with cancer.
Please read Kim’s story below:
On December 4th, 2023, I was diagnosed with stage 4 melanoma with metastasis to my lung. I underwent a partial left lobectomy. Near the end of December, we found out the cancer was in my lymph nodes and were promptly referred to MD Anderson in Houston, Texas. After several screenings and appointments, I was finally cleared to start treatments there this week. The airplane tickets are a minimum of $2000 each trip (they are often last minute due to scheduling and the nature of how cancer progresses). I have been 4 times prior to this treatment, with multiple treatments to come. We anticipate at least 6-8 more Houston trips in the near future.
I know God has a plan for me, even though my path is not clear right now. Any help is appreciated very much!
