Hope Manz Memorial Fund
Donation protected
Hope Manz passed away yesterday (8/12/16) morning. Thank all of you for your donations. They will be used for her final expenses (cremation, scattering of her ashes at her requested place) and a memorial for her friends.
Her OWN FAMILY is not contributing to her final expenses in any way, shape or form. They did not donate, in fact they have posted on facebook that this page is "fraudulent" and that the money raised is going to "her friend." I'm glad that they don't have to deal with Hope's last requests, because they would probably put her in a dumpster and not care about what Hope's last requests were!

To you, Katherine and your kronies,
Hope "did not want this"? She chose to be here with Jules rather than HER OWN BLOOD FAMILY! What makes Katherine think that she has ANY CLUE what Hope wanted?
"Please Beware" she says. Beware of what? Beware of people who are carrying out their daughter/sister's last wishes as she left this earth? Beware people making them look bad because they couldn't even donate to help pay for her final expenses? Beware the people who are doing the job that a FAMILY is supposed to do?? Yes, I would beware. I would beware God allowing to happen to you what you would have allowed your sister/daughter to go through had YOU been the ones taking care of her. Thank God she was here and not with you, because her suffering would have been infinitely more painful and lonely. YOU should be the ones asking for donations to take care of your sister/daughter. INSTEAD you are feebly attempting to prevent ANYONE from carrying out Hope's last wishes. Way to show your true colors.
I know that if you're reading this, you're probably Hope's friend and you are aware of the issues with her family. This is just further proof that her family truely does not care about Hope whatsoever. I am in disbelief at the lengths that they have gone to just to spite Hope, AND SHE'S ALREADY DEAD! What more do they want?
I didn't know Hope before she moved into our home in March. I didn't understand how it was possible to be estranged from one's entire family. Now I understand; Hope was the black sheep. Sure, she had her issues. But that didn't stop her from making people laugh, helping people when they were down, and lifting them up when they were sad. Hope, I understand why you hated your family, and God help me, I'm trying not to feel the same way, but it is very, very hard.
Angered and dismayed,

Hope has stage IV metastatic melanoma. The cancer spread from the bottom of her left foot to her bones, internal organs and finally her brain. She was initally diagnosed less than two years ago. She has had one surgery to remove cancerous lesions from her foot.
At this point, the cancer has spread and taken hold of her brain. the radiologist notes from her last MRI with contrast stated "five cancerous tumors and innumerable bleeding lesions" in her brain. This is what she is dealing with. The bleeding on her brain is what the Dr's are most concerned with. I will save the description of symptoms Hope is dealing with because of the bleeding on her brain.
Hospice has been here for over four weeks. At times it's around the clock and at other times, it's once or twice a week and then I am on my own with her until my husband gets home from work. I have to dispense her medications, feed her when she wants food, keep her clean, change her bedding/depends, and all the other necessities to insure her comfort is high and her pain is low.
As of yesterday (08/10/16) Hope has become non-responsive. Meaning, she no longer opens her eyes, talks, or eats. She has no bowel sounds, her respirations have dropped to approximately 4 to 6 per minute. (norm is 18) In less than 8 weeks, Hope has gone from taking care of herself, to being unable to attend to even her most basic needs. The nurses said she is "transitioning"....meaning she is going to die soon but could hang on for up to a month.
At this point, I have two goals. To keep her as comfortable as possible and pain free. I will keep updating her FB account as things progress. Thank you in advance for all you're doing! Every little bit helps. God bless and keep you and yours always.
