AmieJoe's Bucket List
Donation protected
AmieJoe Roper is an incredible nurse, mentor, and single mother to three amazing boys. 3 years ago, while pregnant with her youngest son, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She has been courageously battling it since. Recently, she was given the news the cancer has spread to her lungs, lymph nodes, spine, bone marrow, and brain.
AmieJoe has been the epitome of a fighter. She has continued to work as the RN Stroke Coordinator at Good Samaritan Hospital in between her cancer treatments. She has supported her boys through milestones and sporting events - even making the local news after a referee at her eldest son's basketball game collapsed with a heart attack and she administered CPR! He lived. She is ALWAYS giving back.
After receiving the devastating news about her cancer, AmieJoe and her son, JJ, compiled a bucket list of things she would like to do with her boys while she feels well enough. This list includes:
*A trip to Disneyland (covered!)
*Hiking through Fern Valley in the redwoods
* A road trip to the Grand Canyon
*A trip to Crater Lake
*The Polar Express train ride
*Great Wolf Lodge
*Bend snow sledding trip
*A trip to Bandon with a visit to the Wildlife Animal Park
Funds have been tight for AJ as her treatments have been lengthy and expensive, with many set backs. Her friend Heather Herman and I have decided to make this bucket list happen for her, starting with an unforgettable trip to Disneyland. As she may be weak from treatment, (she will be receiving radiation, followed by more chemotherapy) we would like to raise enough money for hotel, airfare, and tickets for her mother to travel with her as well. If you have anything to contribute, even ideas, connections, or coupons, please contact Heather Herman or myself. Let's help AmieJoe create magical memories with her boys!
