Help Nancy Fight Cancer
Donation protected
Hello, everyone!
Three weeks ago, our family was confronted with a very scary situation when our mother, Nancy Campbell, began to experience some frightening side effects from what we would later discover was a brain tumor.
Two days before Thanksgiving, she underwent brain surgery, and we spent Thanksgiving together with some family friends in the ICU.
After almost two and a half weeks in the hospital and waiting for news, today, December 8th, we found out that my mother, Nancy Campbell, has brain cancer.
Specifically, she has a Grade 2 Oligodendroglioma, a brain tumor in her left temporal lobe.
(Nancy on Thanksgiving Day in the ICU, post-surgery)
The costs of her surgery and hospital stay have more than surpassed $100,000, and while she has insurance, there are so many expenses that are coming our way. Nancy needs all of our help to fight this!
(Me, Michael, and my mom, Nancy, just five months ago, when she was volunteering in Palisade, Colorado.)
We lost my stepfather to cancer four years ago, and because of this tumor, my mother is now without the ability to work. She needs immediate help to pay for medical expenses, transportation for chemotherapy/radiation, modifications to her house to help her get around, and for basic living expenses to make up for her lack of paycheck until long-term disability can "kick in." (It'll take many months for that to happen...)
(Nancy with her late husband, a Vietnam veteran and our stepfather, Gene)
Her tumor is in her temoporal lobe, and is likely not operable via surgery because of its branchlike nature. Her memory and communication abilities are being severely hampered, and she will not be able to work for some time.
My mother Nancy is a fighter. But more important, she's a loving mom. She raised four kids as a single parent while working full-time as a teacher. She works hard every day for my brother (who has severe cognitive disabilities) to lead a positive and fulfilling life.

We love our Mom. And if you know her, you love her too! She's an amazing lady. She's fluent in multiple languages, and that ability has helped her to bring joy and benefit to others. She was a language teacher and interpreter for a long time, and she recently completed a volunteering position in Palisade, Colorado, working with children of migrant workers to make it through hard times. She's currently pursuing her Masters Degree in Counseling because of her passion for helping others. Your help would mean so much to us, and can help her fight this. Your help can help Nancy to help others again!
Riding her horses and weaving on her loom will help her mentally recover from this tragic illness that has been sprung upon her. Right now, she's having difficulty performing normal tasks and will be starting physical therapy and occupational therapy to get back on track.
Any donation can help! Whatever you can afford can go a long way to helping us to help Nancy Fight Cancer!
With your help, we can #HelpNancyRideAgain!
Many thanks, and God Bless!
