Love for Tony and Melissa Schmid

Donation protected
Tony and Melissa were married September of 2015 and the love these two share has no words to decribe how perfect they are for each other.

Melissa has been struggling with cancer for quite some time. The past year has had many long and hard struggles for her and Tony, and many trips to the cities and Dultuh for hospital visits and stays. All the time Tony has NOT left her side.

Melissa has seen many doctors and specialists. Had many different treatments to kill the cancer, including Chemo, but her battle has not come to an end. God is calling his beautiful Angel home.

A few weeks ago, Melissa had been put in the hospital for fluid build up in her lungs. They were sent home and Tony was able to treat her from home and taught how to drain the fluid and still be able to work his morning and afternoon bus route for the school district.

Tuesday Tony and Melissa were given the news that her whole left lung is a tumo and it in inoperable. Doctor gave her 2 weeks, maybe a month to live.

Melissa is home. Hospice is active with them and she is on oxygen now 24/7. It is hard to eat becuause of all the fluid build up in her chest cavity, and it is pushing down on her diaphram causing issues. She is being kept comfortable as she is in a lot of pain and discomfort.

Tony is trying to do all he can to fullfill her last wishes and be there for her until her very last moment before she goes and meets her father in heaven.

This account is set up to not only help with the medical expenses that may be uncovered by insurance, but also for Tony as he is not able to work right now, and in the future will need more time off to grieve and try and find a new "normal" for him. Also, money will go towards funeral costs, as funerals can be very expensive and I know Tony wants nothing but the best for Melissa.

Every little bit helps. Melissa doesns't have much time and either does Tony in planning and funding.

Our goal is 100,000 or more to give some relief to Tony and Melissa on bills, funeral costs, and whatever the need may be.

Even if it is only 5 dollars, your gift is graciously accepted and Tony and Melissa cannot thank you enough for your love  and support at this difficult time.
