Caring for Tracey as she Fights Cancer

Hello family and friends. My name is Kathy Morgan-Litke and I am Tracey Litke’s sister in law.

Recently, while in Mexico, our beloved Tracey received a diagnosis that has shaken us all - cancer of the pancreas and liver. It has been a lot to digest, but our unwavering focus is supporting Tracey in every possible way that we can.

Tracey’s brother James travelled to Mexico this week and has brought his big sister home to Calgary - where we live. She will be living with us while receiving treatment at the new Arthur Child Comprehensive Cancer Centre.

If you know Tracey, I am sure I do not need to tell you what an incredible human being she is. She is beautiful both inside and out, and is a loving partner, daughter, sister, aunt, niece, cousin, dog mama, and friend. Her outlook on life has always been one of positivity and kindness, along with a calm and adventurous spirit. She truly epitomizes what matters most in life - loved ones, making memories, enjoying the little things, and celebrating life in the moment.

I have started this Go Fund Me for her for a few reasons:

• Living in Mexico and not being able to have medical insurance meant she had to pay for many procedures to investigate what has been going on. Time was of the essence so paying was her only option which has drastically depleted her savings.

• Affording the basics is currently a hardship and we would like to take this worry and difficulty off of her plate.

All monies fundraised will go to helping her with all expenses. This includes medical expenses including prescriptions she doesn't have coverage for, treatments, equipment items not covered, comfort items, and any potential caregiving expenses she may need in the form of home care/support.

As a family we are grateful for any support, big or small, that can help Tracey. Navigating a diagnosis like this is beyond difficult and your support means one less worry on a plate that is already overflowing. We want Tracey to be as comfortable and as supported as she faces her diagnosis with strength and bravery.

Please feel free to share.

With gratitude and our utmost thanks,

The Litke family.
