Hi. My name is Misha. I am raising funds for my best friend Debbie Moebs. Debbie has Stage 4 cancer. Debbie has shared with you all the details of her cancer so I won’t go into it all here. A lot has happened in her path to addressing her illness in such a short time. I will be honest, this is the last thing I thought I would would be doing this Thanksgiving. About 7 months ago we found out she has cancer. It changed her life, the life of her fantastic fiancé Mike and everyone who loves Debbie. She did all the right things to take care of herself through this illness with the support of so many. But there is more treatments to come as she moves to palliative care.

I knew she was strong, but the courage she has displayed and continues to display during her treatment has been remarkable. While cancer takes a toll on you body, it has not diminished her spirit, her attitude and her outlook on life. As she navigates her future, there are financial issues to deal with like medical expenses, medical devices, medications and end of life plans. It weighs heavy on her mind as she hasn’t been able to work since her diagnosis.

Throughout her illness, Like many of you, I have been frustrated not knowing what I can do to help. I know the friendship and support we have all shared with Debbie and Mike has helped in immeasurable ways, but current and future financial burdens are mounting. Many of you have asked how you can help and this Go Fund Me is a way to do that. This fundraiser will help pay the bills and lessen the emotional burden of growing medical costs. This is peace of mind for Debbie.

I know you all have your own personal relationship with Debbie, but for me, she has been a friend, a sister (Sorority sister and I like to consider myself an honorary Moebs sister), a bridesmaid, a listening ear and my greatest supporter. She is generous in spirit, with her time and always supportive of others. We have had so much fun over our 30 years and counting friendship. If you can help me ease her mind and pave the way for a peaceful journey through this next part of her life, it would be appreciated.
