Let’s Help Patti Erickson Fight Cancer

UPDATE 4.28.24

Patti’s fight has come to an end and heaven has a new warrior Angel. We can’t thank you enough for all your support over the past 6 months. Your donations have helped cover her medical expenses, in home care and end of life care, keeping her comfortable and at peace. If anyone has any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me (Allyssa DelPiano)

Our hearts ache at the loss of this amazing woman but we take comfort knowing she is no longer suffering and the memories we’ve shared will lift us when we need it most. We love you dear Patti!

Patti is doing well, going for chemo treatments every 2 weeks. She's doing as well as can be expected at this point. Every day brings new challenges, but she is a warrior and meets each one. She is still awaiting a PORT to be put in so she can do treatments closer to home.

I've upped our donations goal simply because Patti has started to receive her bills. I had no idea how much things would be. Below is a pic of ONE bill from her hospital covering just ONE day. She has spent over 2 weeks in the hospital plus her chemo treatments, meds, travel costs etc. I can't imagine how much these will keep piling up and feel for every single person who is fighting this fight. THANK YOU to all who have donated. You are all angels on earth just like our Patti!!

Patti is one of those people everyone knows because she is out there in the community, helping people. She comes to the rescue with a tool bag, a plate of cookies, or a hot and delicious meal. Patti always makes you smile and laugh, no matter the circumstances. She is a true and unconditional friend in the best and worst times.

It’s unimaginable that she’s battling advanced cancer, a cancer that has taken over her stomach, stomach lining, lymph nodes, and more. She’s too young and too strong. But sadly, that is the hand she's been dealt. She has handled this awful news, hospital visits, never-ending sickness and pain with grace and style.

Let’s take the stress and worry of financial burdens off her plate. She can’t work, and her devoted husband is at home caring for her. The medical bills are slowly piling up, and no end is in sight. With a son in college, finances are tight. Let’s help remove that worry so she can focus on the real battle. We love you, Patti!

Here are a few photos of Patti and some of her friends and family through the years. Feel free to send me photos and I can add you to the wall. This is a very small portion of people in her life…it’s just what I have on my phone!
