During this time Shiloh has remained an extemely dedicated mother doing her very best to raise her daughters. Despite being unable to work any longer due to her many treatments and surgeries. She had worked as long as she possibly could while recieving treatments. As some might know being on disability is a very difficult way to raise a family. In the first years of her fight Shiloh donated her time and passion to many breast cancer organizations. Shiloh has also remained steadfast in her faith in GOD. She will be the first to tell you, she could not have made it this far without her savior Jesus Christ!!
We (Shiloh's family and friends) have done many fund raisers over the years. All money raised has gone to pay Shilohs's medical expenses and to help her continue her fight. The funds once again have runout, but Shilohs fight is harder now more than ever. And once again we are asking for your help.
Through your generous donations you can help Shiloh continue her fight. We are hoping to seek out the newest treatments and medications at the best cancer centers in our great nation.
Thank you and God Bless!!!
Sincerely Shiloh's family and friends!
