Novie Mack Kicking Cancer in the You Know What!

Hello, my name is Katy. I'm Novie Mack's aunt. Since October 2023 my sister, Meagan (Novie's mom), and her partner, Brandon (Novie's dad) have been caring for Novie as she battles a rare cancer (called a sacrococcygeal teratoma) which started in her tailbone and spread to her lungs. Novie is a rising 3 year old and has a twin sister, Tilden (pictured). They are lively, incredible, joyful, powerhouse pre-school aged kids. Seriously, watch out for these two!

Novie successfully completed chemotherapy in early January, but will soon have an operation to remove the remaining tumor. The chemo successfully cleared out the cancer in her lungs.

Why am I organizing this Go Fund Me?!? Well, you can imagine! But both Brandon and Meagan have not been working (paid jobs) since October. The goal of this Go Fund Me is to alleviate the growing financial concerns as they care of Novie, Tilden and, just as importantly, each other.

I am, and they are, so appreciative of any contribution you're able and willing to make. Even if you're not able to contribute, we appreciate the healing thoughts and well wishes to our families and Novie. It's been a tough few months, particularly for Novie, Tilden, Meagan and Brandon and the girls' grandparents (Lorna and Michael Milani and Linda Mack who have played a major role is supporting Meagan and Brandon and caring for Tilden during long hospital stays).

With much love and deep appreciation!
