Supporting Shannon’s Family
Donation protected
Update: As most of us now know, Shannon is no longer here on earth with us but she is our Angel looking down on us. At this time, we would love continued support for Shannon’s children, Christopher and Abigail, during these uncertain times. All donations will go directly to them and their future. A huge thank you to all who have already donated, and an another huge thank you to those able and willing to continue their support.
As most of us know, Shannon has gone through quite the ringer in the last few months. We would love to do everything we can as her extended family to help her through her cancer fight. Shannon has been diagnosed with Stage 4 Metastatic Melanoma of the Liver. The treatment and care of this type of disease is overwhelming emotionally, mentally, physically, and financially. Even going through all the tests, appointments and treatments, Shannon has been incredibly dedicated to her job and her family. She comes into work everyday trying to put on a brave and happy smile to get through her day while being in immense pain. It would be our honor to help her in every way we can; and with that, we ask anybody who is able to help support some of Shannon’s burden of medical bills. Anything and everything helps Shannon continue her treatment. Thank you, we love you all so much.
