Support Dianna's Battle Against Cancer
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Melinda, and I am fundraising for Diana!
Dianna is a wonderful person who brings light to the darkest days and makes people smile with ease. She's a 37-year-old wife ( Jon, 18 years), mother (Caitlyn, 17 & Conner, 15), sister, daughter, and best friend. If there was a quote that could describe her, it would be this one by Albert Schweitzer: "In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit."
Unfortunately, Dianna was recently diagnosed with Stage 3 Squamous Cell Carcinoma - which is the second most common form of skin cancer, for her the type of cancer is rare due to its location in the internal pelvis/rectum area that has spread to many lymph nodes. Dianna and her husband, Jon, have health insurance, but like most families, her deductible is $3,000, and her out-of-pocket maximum is $7,000. Dianna has already exceeded both of these limits and has not yet begun her treatments of aggressive chemotherapy and radiation. She had to go to the emergency room, which turned into a hospitalization stay, extensive lab work, MRI scans, CT scans, PET scans, port placement for chemo, and many consultation/doctor appointments.
Could you please consider donating any funds to help Dianna get rid of this cancer and lessen the financial burden on her and her family?
