Mustard Seeds for Andrea Dougherty
Donation protected
Over the past 4 years, Andrea Dougherty has helped so many people while battling Stage 4 colorectal cancer, herself. While undergoing heavy chemotherapy, she has planned 3 Annual Benefits for victims of the disease and has started the "Have a Little Faith" Foundation which has raised thousands of dollars for living and medical expenses for multiple families affected by it.
Today, Andrea is in "FIGHT MODE" with the growth of the tumors in her lungs, as well as a new, bigger threat in the form of a large tumor in her rectum.
On June 5th, Andrea underwent an ostomy-surgery that has left her with a new norm she is trying to learn to deal with. While still healing, the doctors have scheduled heavy-duty radiation that will be a month long and will occur almost every day of the work week. In tandem, they will put her back on chemo. Both treatments together, while still healing from surgery, are going to require her to up her already-intense fight game. WE NEED HELP.
Of course Andrea will not be working during this time. It is highly likely that she will need to spend much of her time resting. She is the strongest person we have ever been blessed to know and winces each time we talk about "financial support". She much prefers doing for others first. But we are asking for help from all of you to relieve ANY of the Earthly fears she has in surviving this time so she can bless us with her presence even longer and spread her love of Jesus Christ and all others.
There is an organized group of supporting family and women who will be responsible for watching the living expenses and medical bills, and any other important needs that come in during this time. ANY monetary donation will be optimized to help their family make it through this critical time frame. (We decided against meal train as there was wasted food from overly generous donations last time and there are new dietary restrictions in the house that make it less feasible.) This time we will shop and cook as needed.
This is OUR time to show Andrea the kindness, love and respect for everything she has shown to others. It is our opportunity to show her God's love through US; as she has done time-and-time again for others.
Whether it be in the form of a lump sum or a scheduled monthly donation to get her through the next 3-4 months, we are more appreciative than you will EVER know. She is so deeply loved and we selfishly want her here with us now - and into the future. We feel that removing this burden from her so she can focus on her relationship with Christ and HEALING is the most important factor to ensure this.
God bless each and every one of you. Again, there are no words to express our gratitude for your love, prayers and help!
