Help Kaylene (Baker) Clark with medical expenses.

Donation protected
Hi, I'm Helen and I'm setting this up for my sister Kaylene. This week she was at Mayo Clinic for tests and was told she has bone cancer in her right leg and will need a amputation of her leg. The surgery is scheduled for December 19th at Mayo so very soon. We are raising funds for travel expenses as well as getting her Christmas shopping done for them, and any other medical expenses that come up and are not covered by insurance. **Back story for everyone who don't know. Kaylene was born with a rare bone disease that causes cartilage tumors in her bones. It's mostly affected her right leg. She's had many different surgeries and has been living with chronic pain for years. As a child she broke her leg easily and has spent lots of time at Shiners Hospital in Minneapolis. Recently she has noticed more pain and larger bumps on her knee. She isn't able to bend or straighten her leg. Her Dr ordered a mri and immediately sent it to Sioux Falls who took a look and sent her to Mayo Clinic. The tests showed a very large tumor in her knee that is intertwined with the nerves and blood vessels, making a knee transplant not possible. The good news is it hasn't spread. Kaylene has 4 children and one granddaughter. Her baby is only 1 1/2 years old and hasn't been away from his mama. Let's bless them so that they can get through this and make Christmas happen for them during this difficult time. We expect she will be there for at least 5 days depending on how things go. Above all let's pray for peace, comfort and ultimate healing and outcome. God is faithful. Thank you.
