Help My Dear Friend Kelly #FightLikeKelly

Donation protected
This is my dear friend Kelly, I have know her for 7 years.  We met when I opened my doggie daycare and she worked in the auto body shop behind me and we would chat between the fence and about the dogs and other things.  Our friendship blossomed and we started hanging out with each other, and now our husband's are very good friends.  She is very special to me and to many other people.  Especially her son, Shane.  She has done so much for her son.  She was a single mother for many, many years.  No child support or help from Shane's dad.  She put him through college on her own.  Shane is the light of her life and she is Shane's light.
Since 2014 it seems like Kelly has been hit with something medical every single year, and the medical bills have just become too much.  They do have insurance, but it only covers so much.  

It all started with a mass on her uterus the size of a grapefruit in 2014 which she needed to have a hysterectomy for.  In 2015 she had frozen shoulder in her right shoulder for 10 months,  and 2016 it got into her left shoulder. Then in 2017 they found a mass on her left kidney, which turned out to be stage 3 renal cell carcinoma.  She had to have the kidney removed and it had spread to her fatty tissue and lymph nodes. They were scanning every 3 months to watch.  In 2018 her appendix had to be removed and in 2019 her gallbladder.  And the most recent, at the end of 2020 they found that her renal cell carcinoma had metastasized to her right lung.  She has gone through radiation treatments, and during the radiation treatments they decided to do further scans to see if the cancer had traveled anywhere else and they found a  tumor between her pituitary gland and her optic nerves. They ended up having to do a craniotomy that she recovering from now.  She just had scans done from her craniotomy  yesterday and  we will know if treatments worked on January 25th. 

I know with everything that has been going on with Covid and everyone is finding it hard to make ends meet, but if you could find it in your hearts to help this loving wife and mother and a very dear friend, we would be so very grateful.

Thank You!
