For Jackie

Donation protected

Imagine experiencing chronic neck and shoulder pain for years without finding lasting relief from any treatment.

Then, imagine waking up one morning unable to lift your head off the pillow due to excruciating pain.  This is how Jackie Stuntebeck-Lokken started her day on April 9th, 2018.

An emergency room visit, x-rays, and other tests revealed that Jackie had multiple cancerous tumors in her neck and upper body.

The diagnosis: Stage 4 Adenocarcinoma (a form of lung cancer usually found in non-smoking women) with advancement to Jackie's vertebral bones.

Now, imagine having to share this devastating news with your family.

For Jackie, there is no cure; treatments will only attempt to slow the process of the disease and manage symptoms & side effects.  

But Jackie is a Wife, a Mother, a Nana, & our Beloved Friend, and she’s got more living to do.

Despite maintaining health insurance with a supplemental policy for back-up, Jackie and her family are incurring significant, accumulating expenses.  Jackie had a “rainy day fund,” but that’s wiped out.  How does one financially plan for a cancer diagnosis?  From co-pays to the full cost of treatments for which insurance refuses to pay, Jackie’s debts are rapidly mounting. Additionally, the costs of transportation to appointments, lodging, and meals away from home are overwhelming, and are compounding the stress Jackie and her family are now enduring because of the unexpected diagnosis and Jackie's physical symptoms. 

Jackie’s chronic conditions and her shocking terminal cancer diagnosis can only be described as tragic.  Yet, through it all, Jackie remains hopeful, graceful, and full of gratitude. Jackie’s wish is that no other family ever finds itself in the position her family is in now.  She vows to fight for time and comfort until she can no longer.

Peace of mind would be a blessing for Jackie as she carries on. We can ease her financial burden through our monetary donations.  Will you please help?
