Lori's Medical Fund

Hello my name Lori Vanderwende, and I'm Joey's mom. On July 26, 2017, I was diagnosed with stage 4 kidney cancer. My left kindey and adreneal glands were removed on September 29, 2017. I was not offered chemo or radation because my case was too severe. This has been a year of new knodules and lessions. A year of amazing love from others. Within the last two months, all knodules have grown by milimeters. I have have lesions on T8 disk and I have a beginie  cyst on my pancreas and right kidney. And then there is my heart, the pericardenial sack that holds my heart is not releasing the fluid and leaving me in continous pain.

Now you may think I may give up, but I'm not going to do it! My trust is in the Lord and he has a plan for my life. You all have helped me with your prayers and donations. Although I have appreciated all of your help, I am still in deperate need to continue my goal of going to Utopia Wellness Center in Tampa, FL. Their sucess rate is incrediably high and would love the opportunity.

Thank you for keeping my and my family in your prayers.

Lori
