Bonnie's Battle with Cancer

Donation protected
Bonnie and Steve literally saved my life. Having taken me in 5 years ago after I broke my neck and had no option of returning home and receiving any quality therapy.  Bonnie and Steve opened their first gofundme to finish their home to make it all accessible for me and Bonnie took on the challenge of being my care giver from home while she also worked from home. Bonnie was the best person I could have asked for to help me get used to everyday life as a quadriplegic. After 4 years I have gained almost complete independence just in time for us all to turn around and help Bonnie and her family through the most challenging thing they ever experienced. Her dad Dave was diagnosed with stage 4 melanoma in his brain and lungs. He went through 2 major brain surgeries in less than a week. The cancer came back worse after severe complications during chemo which lead to his passing shortly after all the while having his family there to support him. Bonnie took on the big decisions of Dave's passing while still balancing everything. Honestly an incredible woman and my best friend.
       After Dave's passing was beginning to set in, the family, Dave's wife Pam, Bonnie, and Steve decided to move in together to all be there for each other bringing family even closer. Shortly after Bonnie went in for a routine breast examine and was diagnosed with a very aggressive metastasizing cancer. She has since been through a very intense treatment for chemo which has left her severely sick which left her hospitalized for 17 days all the while she has still been the same Bonnie she always is always looking out for us all. She has had to shave her head and is looking at her options after treating the cancer she'll have to have a mastectomy to complete rid of the cancer. We want to allow her to have the option of having reconstructive surgery if the risk isn't too high. Bonnie would need a very skilled doctor likely from out of state and the funds to do so since she has had to go on disability. 
       I think it's time to give back to the most giving person I know and allow her to not have to worry about finances and instead focus on recovery like she did for me 4 years ago. If anything else this will all give us the chance to practice being like Bonnie who has always given to those in need no matter the circumstance! Please help Bonnie through her recovery and allow her also the option of alternative therapies that her finances won't allow at this point. There are so many stressors she is facing at this point while money shouldn't be one of them.
