Help Morgan keep up the fight with stage 4 cancer
Donation protected
What started with wonderful news that every woman dreams of sharing, later came with announcing life changing results that no one ever dreams of sharing with family, friends, and all.
My Name is Natalie and I am fundraising for my best friend Morgan, her 3 precious children, and her two pets Millie and Ziggy.
When Morgan shared her 3rd pregnancy to all her family and friends in July 2020, she never thought that 8 months later she would
be announcing the birth of baby Liam along with the beginning of her fight with stage 4 colon cancer.
Throughout her pregnancy she experienced symptoms that seemed "normal" for a woman carrying a baby inside her belly. Who would
assume that the discomforts she suffered in her abdomen were the result of colon cancer? On February 15th,
she was admitted at The Medical Center of Arlington for extreme nausea and uncontrollable vomiting paired with excruciating pain in her abdomen.
This led her to her water breaking a month before Liams' due date. Morgan was rushed to emergency surgery shortly after giving birth.
During a CT scan of her stomach, a massive lump the size of a small football was discovered inside her liver. She now has a HUGE scar that starts on the center of her ribcage
down to below her belly button. The doctor and nurses removed the mass, two feet of the large colon and had her liver biopsies. This where she received her positive results for
colon cancer at stage 4. The cancer was removed from her colon and lymph-nodes but it had already spread to her liver.
I've known Morgan for over 16 years and she has been my dearest and closest friend to me. Morgan has always been a hard worker and very independent. One thing I always admired about Morgan is that she is very responsible and always saved what she could when she could. I know Morgan would continue to work if she could and since the discovery of
the cancer in her liver, she will need to fight this with chemotherapy. Every dollar she has saved so far will exhaust soon as well as her maternity leave and short term disability her insurance provided her. I've done a lot of research on the treatment she will need and the side effects she will endure may prevent her from working. The costs alone are pretty expensive. With her insurance paying partial, she will have much to pay out of pocket which is why I've decided to start this fundraiser. I would love the opportunity to help raise as much as we can to help pay the cost of treatments, doctor visits, bills, and help her keep her home.
During this Pandemic it is crucial that Morgan stay safe and as healthy as she can be. She is a single mother of 3 and will not be able to provide for her family while she battles stage 4 colon cancer. I know she is a strong-brave woman and is doing her very best to stay positive and hopeful that the treatment will be a success so she can continue living her beautiful life with her family for MANY years to come.
Please help me give her some peace of mind while she focuses on beating this! Thank you all for taking the time to read this post and please pass it along to everyone you know. We appreciate all the love and support!
