Melissa's Fight Against Cancer

Donation protected
After battling breast cancer at the age of 23, and a double mastectomy at the age of 25 when her breast cancer returned, my sister-in-law Melissa is now facing mestastatic cancer which has returned at the age of 27. Unfortunately, this time it has attacked some very undesirable organs, and is sadly incurable. As Melissa fights to get as close to remission as possible, it is our hope to provide her with some financial stability. Anyone who knows Melissa knows that she is a fun-loving, caring, strong, powerful young woman who strives every day to bring joy to this world. After her first two battles with breast cancer, she teamed up with my brother to make a movie based on her experience. To give a glimpse of how self-less she is, all proceeds for the movie were going to an organization to help battle cancer. In the midst of casting, she received the dreaded news that her cancer had returned; and her journey yet again begins.
As many of you may know, my brother Jimmy and sister-in-law Melissa own and operate a small company of their own, which will be a challenge financially as she begins her journey with chemotherapy.
Money raised will go towards the many anticipated medical bills (surgeries, procedures, chemotherapy, doctors appointments, and medications) as well as basic living expenses.
Your donation will help relieve the various stresses caused by this horrible disease. Every dollar counts!
We truly appreciate anything you can give!
