Medical Fundraiser to help Sheila Gillam

Donation protected
Hi my name is Deb Nettesheim and I am trying to raise funds to help a dear friend of mine, Sheila Westerhausen Gillam (husband Brad) who has been battling breast cancer. This is the 2nd time in 10 years she has battled this. Next week Sheila will undergo her FIFTH surgery since Septemer 2022 due to complications from her initial mastectomy. This surgery will be more extensive with a tougher recovery. In addition her husband Brad has progressive MS and is not able to work or drive. Sheila has been out of work (and out of sick days) so she has had no income since September. Despite the fact there are monthly payments, bills, food, and expenses as well as her having to paying her health insurance premiums out of pocket since she isn't working AND unfortunately, despite paying a premium the insurance requires a medical prepayment of $3000.00 before she can even under go surgery. I know this is a lot to throw out there but my goal is basically to get them through these next months until she can return to work and they can get back on their feet. If you have ever had a loved one suffer from cancer, please consider a donation, no amount is too small. And please know it will be greatly appreciated at their most difficult time.
