Help Krystle Fight Colon Cancer
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Nicole Russo and I am raising funds to help a dear friend fighting Stage IV metastatic colon cancer. I had the honor of meeting Krystle when she was 15 years old and I was starting my career in social work at 24 years old. Krystle has always had a fighting spirit but she can really use our support now.
Krystle was diagnosed with Stage IV metastatic colon cancer in April 2022 at the age of 36. She has undergone several surgeries to remove tumors and is doing another round of chemotherapy treatments. She is a single-mother of two amazing young boys. The funds she gets from disability barely put food on the table and she is in jeopardy of being evicted from her home due to being in arears. Krystle puts every last ounce she has into caring for her children while fighting for her LIFE.
She needs our help! She is not one to ask for help but it's time for her to receive it! No one-person should have to endure all of the struggles she has been faced with.
My goal is to raise enough funds to get Krystle financially secure for the next year so she can focus all of her energies on fighting for her life and caring for her children. Funds raised will go towards her basic needs such as rent, food, and other basic needs of a single-mother. The stress has not only taken a toll on Krystle's health but also her sons who have been struggling with anxiety due to Krystle being away for days in the hospital and watching her go through grueling treatments Krystle and her boys need all of the positive vibes, prayers and energy sent her way. (I have also tried to find programs and grants to help Krystle. If anyone has ideas to share please place them in the comments section)
Thank you in advance for your generosity and compassion. If anyone in this world deserves a helping hand, it's Krystle!
