Mandy's Story:

In April 2016, my Sista-Cuz Mandy, a loving mother of 2 children and all around wonderful person, was diagnosed with Stage 4, Follicular Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. It involves her entire lymphatic system, bone marrow and her bones.

Needless to say, we were all blindsided by this life changing news. She had struggled sometime with a serious auto-immune, but this was the last thing anyone could have expected.

There is no better adjective to describe my cousin Mandy than KIND and GIVING. Despite leaving her career to raise a special needs child and volunteering in every aspect (even organizing class reunions and family reunions), she persevered and established herself as an amazing mother, loving friend, devoted and caring daughter, a committed and loving significant other, strong in her faith and someone so unbelievably kind and generous to all those in her life. She is the first to offer help and is always the last to ask for help.

Another immense part of her character is her STRENGTH and DETERMINATION. This is something that has shone brightly since her diagnosis. Despite heavy doses of chemo treatments and massive rounds of medications and sickness, she tries to continue with her day-to-day activities. Mandy has set her mind on prolonging her life and winning!

Mandy has always been a tough lady whom handles life by grabbing the bull by the horns type mentalility. But she has suddenly come up against something no one has a choice in nor can control: CANCER.

She has taking this news in a characteristically brave manner and dealt with many challenges throughout with her warped humorous fashion as you see above. Her positivity and fortitude will serve her well in the days, months and years to come as she faces a long road of chemo, scans, tests, surgeries, and treatments which will continue for atleast 2 years or more.

How Your Donations Will Be Used:

While they have medical coverage from her spouses company, there are many things that won’t be covered – missed work, extended oncology treatments, medication, care requirements, immunotherapy treatments, suppliments, insurance balances and who knows what else will come up. His medical plan also only covers so much, with the two of them left responsible for making up the difference. We want Mandy to be able to focus on what is important and not worry about mounting medical bills and financial stress. As many people know, a life shattering diagnosis like this does not come without cost - and there are some significant costs for treatments not covered by insurance.

Anyone who knows her knows she would (and has) given the shirt off her back to help family and friends. Family and friends are very important to her and kept close to her heart. She is a very loving person known for sacrificing herself and her own needs to help others.

She is going to kick cancer's butt with our prayers and support, and we are going to surround her as a community with all the positive vibes, love, banter, hugs and ALL the support we can!

Let’s fight this fight with Mandy and give her the best possible chance to beat this! Our world is a better, brighter place with her in it!

How You Can Help:

PLEASE consider helping, any amount helps immensely and is of great help to her journey! She needs to be able to get some relief and peace of mind from the mounting medical expenses.

Also help us by sharing, sharing, sharing! And if you personally know her, please mention it in your share so that her cause is taken seriously and not mistaken as an ad or spam.

Thank you so much. I know my cousin Mandy would not ask for such help. So we need to show her we are behind her and fighting with her. I am sure she will be ever so humbled and grateful for any and all help.
