* Update on Kathy's Cancer GoFundMe Campaign: Relieving the Financial Burden of a Brave Family-January 10,2024

We want to provide you with an important update on the GoFundMe campaign for Kathy's cancer treatment and recovery. As Kathy continues her fight against stage 4 melanoma, her situation has taken a challenging turn.

Due to the complications and progressive nature of her illness, Kathy has transitioned to a nursing home where she can receive the specialized care and support that she requires. The emotional toll and the financial burden on Kathy, her husband Nathan, and their 15-year-old son have become overwhelming.

Nathan, who has been Kathy's devoted caretaker and an incredible source of strength, has been unable to work during this difficult time. As medical bills accumulate and daily expenses continue to mount, the financial strain on the family has become more than they can bear alone. The additional cost of Kathy's nursing home care has further exacerbated their financial challenges.

We come to you once again, our compassionate and supportive community, to humbly ask for your continued assistance. Your donations have made a significant impact thus far, allowing Kathy to access the necessary treatments and support services. Yet, there is still more to be done.

Every contribution, no matter the amount, will provide hope and relief to the family during this arduous journey. Your generosity will help cover medical bills, nursing home expenses, transportation costs, and other financial obligations, allowing Nathan and their son to focus on supporting Kathy throughout her ongoing battle.

Please join us in easing the financial burden on this courageous family. Share this campaign with your network, spread the word, and donate if you are able. Together, we can make a tangible difference in their lives, providing them with the support and stability they desperately need during this challenging time.

We extend our deepest gratitude to each and every one of you for your unwavering compassion, generosity, and continued support. Your love and kindness mean the world to Kathy, Nathan, and their son, and make an immeasurable impact on their journey towards healing and recovery.

Thank you for being the strength behind their fight.

With heartfelt appreciation,
Steve and Dena Milz and family





Dear Friends, Family and Community,

We are reaching out to you with heavy hearts to share my sister in law, Kathy's recent health journey. What began as a trip to the emergency room for what we believed to be a kidney stone turned into devastating news - Kathy has been diagnosed with stage 4 melanoma skin cancer. The cancer has spread rapidly throughout her body, affecting her bones, both lungs, and breast.

Kathy has already begun treatment, undergoing one round of chemotherapy before starting radiation therapy. Unfortunately, during the setup for radiation, her back fractured under the weight of the disease. The cancer has now reached her spine, presenting significant challenges to her mobility and overall well-being.

Since Christmas Day, Kathy has been hospitalized, undergoing surgeries and treatments to stabilize her back and manage the pain. She has already undergone two radiation treatments, but they are currently on hold to allow her back to heal from surgery and regain some strength before resuming cancer treatment.

We are reaching out to our community in hopes of rallying support for Kathy's ongoing medical expenses, rehabilitation, and the upcoming cancer treatments. The financial burden of medical bills, medications, and rehabilitation services is overwhelming, and we humbly ask for your help.

Every donation, no matter the size, will make a significant impact on Kathy's journey to fight cancer and recover her quality of life. Your generosity will go directly towards medical bills, rehabilitation costs, and any other necessary expenses.

Above all, we kindly request your thoughts, prayers, and positive energy for Kathy during this challenging time. She is a strong, resilient, and loving person who deserves every chance at beating cancer and reclaiming her health.

Sharing this campaign with your family, friends, and networks will also help broaden our reach and increase our chances of meeting the goal. Together, we can make a difference in Kathy's life and provide her with the support she needs to face this battle head-on.

From the depths of our hearts, we thank you for your love, kindness, and generosity in helping Kathy on her journey towards healing and recovery.

With gratitude,

Dena and Steve Milz
