Brittney's trip to Mazalan & Bills

Donation protected
Hi, I am Tammi, Brittney's mom.  I am campaining for Brittney to raise some money for her to go to Mazalan with her good friend Mary.  Mary was offered her auntie's time share and was going alone until she found out Britt was off chemo for a minute and could go!!!!!  So exciting!!!!   Britt also has some bills and with all the added expenses I have had over the past 9 months with her cancer and her recent separation from her newly wed husband and move here  she has tapped out what savings she had. So she has some personal bills she needs help with, namely her car payment and student loan payment.  So if you can help, thank you so much; if you cannot; that's ok too, prayers are free and also very much needed :-)

So here is her story:
On Jan 24th, 2016 I took Britt to the emergency room at Emanual Hospital in Portland OR because she was in severe pain.   They sent her to Good Sam Hospital where  the amazing Dr. Frankhouse and Waters and Rotromel took her to surgery and found a large tumor they could not safely remove.  She was referred to the amazing Dr. Liss at The Vancouver Clinic  with hopes to shrink it enough to have a HIPEC surgery in Seattle.  Britt underwent twelve rounds of chemo! Shrunk that bad boy down from the size of an orange to the size of a walnut!!! We went to Seattle after she was done and the Surgeon Dr. Ong had not been able to see the CT to make a decision, so we ended up being sent home and called back.  We went back last week and he basicly said she would have to have her overies, uterus, colon, part of small intestine, spleen, 40% pancreas, part of stomach, rectum, and sigmoid colon remove and he would scrape the outside of the bladder.  He said it was a 50/50 surgery that she would even get off the table.  He said life after surgery would be different:6 months healing from surgery, if no complications like infection; will loose 20% weight and maintaining wt will be a problem; will most likely need to use insulin, may never have sex again.  He was honest and frank, said this would be risky, and may lead to the cancer taking off and moving to lungs and liver because her immune system will be so overwhelmed with healing everything up it may not allow the control she has right now.  Tuesday  morning 10/4/16 Britt woke up, she came out  to the kitchen and sat across from me.  She began to cry and said, "Mom, I don't want to do the surgery, I want to fight this with chemo, diet, excercise.  I told her I am with her all the way!  Then I got a call from her friend Mary, she asked me if I thought Britt could go to Mexico with her; I told her her timing could not be better! 

TIming is urgent as the vacation timeshare is for
Mazalan:  October 17th to October 24th, 2016

My problem is recent expendatures for  travel, relocation back home, hotels, rental cars, eating out, special amenities, etc has me tapped out!  I really need help raising money for her ticket and spending cash; also she is 2 payments behind on her car payment and next due just after she gets back. 

My hope is we can send Britt on this trip that could be the best time ever with her best friend in the world and she can spend shop, dine, and relax without a care in the world for  a minute.  I just cannot tell you home much this would mean to her and to me. 

I am so thankful for any support you can help with.  I just want her to be as happy as she can be.  The other reason I would like her to go on this trip is she was recently married.  In fact, at his request to hurry up with chemo he had her elope with him just after her 10th round of chemo and she almost compromised the last 2 rounds.  When she finished the last 2 rounds and went back to him, he told her she was broken and he wants a divorce!  She is back here at the home she grew up in.  She  really needs a vacation and this will truely be a
great one!

Thank you with all of my heart.  Thank you for your prayers and support!

Love,
Tammi
