Conquering cancer for Meghan Kleineck
Donation protected
Meghan Kleineck is a young woman with an infectious laugh and inner joy that lights up the lives of everyone she meets. She is filled with positivity and the desire to help others. Meghan is an amazing friend, beautiful daughter, and treasured aunt. She is adored by her brothers and cherished by her boyfriend, with whom she shares her passion for life, her humor, and her hopes for the future. Meghan Kleineck is a young woman who loves children. She is a fierce advocate and has, in fact, dedicated her career to helping protect them. Meghan is a child welfare social worker, and sees each child as she would see her own. Her passion for children is breathtaking, and she has been looking forward to having her own for as long as she can remember. Meghan was diagnosed last month with Stage 3-4 Non-Hodgkins Follicular Lymphoma, an aggressive cancer that will need immediate and aggressive chemotherapy. While this treatment will most likely result in remission for Meghan, there is the very real possibility that it could destroy her ability to become pregnant. For this reason, her oncologist has recommended that she harvest and freeze some of her eggs. Unfortunately, this is a very expensive procedure, and one that is not covered by insurance. While there are grants to help, the bills are already mounting and chemotherapy hasn’t even started yet. Insurance unfortunately only covers a percentage of the expenses incurred in diagnosis, treatment, surgeries, etc., and Meghan is quickly becoming overwhelmed by the relentless accumulation of debt. Cancer is challenging enough on its’ own, and takes a very real mental and physical toll.
We are asking for help to relieve the financial one, knowing that easing the financial strain will help give Meghan the best possible chance for recovery. We all want, in the worst way, to just make this go away, but we can’t. Helping our Meggie financially, however, is something that we can tangibly do to help. $10,000 is the goal, but I believe we can be over-achievers. Anything you are able to donate will help. Thank you and please share this to all. <3
