STEPHANIE DURETTE The Big C Battle Is On!

Stephanie Durette was planning for Christmas 2021 when she found out her diagnosis: Stage 4 MBC (Metastatic Breast Cancer). She is now in a fight for her life and is positively determined to win!

Stephanie is a daughter, sister, wife, mother and great friend. She has been our coworker for 16 years, is our Accounts Receivable wiz and just happens to be our trusted sounding-board. She has the charisma and natural ease of someone you can easily talk to and share stories with no matter your rank, age or gender. Just a few years ago, Stephanie moved her mom into her home to take care of her. Her mom was battling with and survived breast cancer! Keith is Stephanie’s supportive husband, her rock, and is by her side at every single appointment. She has a beautiful smart teenage daughter, Emily, who is her best friend and comic relief.

Many of the best Go Fund Me pages are very detailed, describe every facet of an individual, their family and social circle, explaining the full measure of their diagnosis and spelling out each type of treatment. But, out of deference for Stephanie’s and her family’s privacy, the details of her story will only be limited and brief. A point that is necessary to make though is that Stephanie has tenacity! Once she has made up her mind, that is it - she will succeed and she has decided to beat cancer!

In situations such as this, we all get that ache in our hearts of feeling powerless, searching for a way to help. Our solution is to help Stephanie keep her positive outlook so she can focus on getting well. One major way to do that is by relieving any financial stress that will cause anxiety for the Durettes. Money – or the lack of it - is the biggest stress factor and anxiety producer and it can infect the entire household. Obviously, this is why we have turned to Go Fund Me. Mounting medical bills will create financial struggles with every single aspect of day-to-day life; however, that can be avoided with help from all of us and the Go Fund Me community!

Please, Stephanie and her family need all of us to help them maintain a positive, optimistic outlook. Every single dollar will help! Every donation is greatly appreciated and every good wish sent Stephanie’s way helps to build her positive attitude! Thank you!
