Jessica's Cancer Battle Fund

Donation protected
Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted strangers,
We are reaching out to share the story of our sister, Jessica. She is not only a sister to us but a cherished friend, a dedicated daughter, a wonderful mother, and an amazing interior designer. Recently, Jessica's life took an unexpected turn when she was diagnosed with rectal adenocarcinoma. As if this wasn't enough, there is now a concern about a possible neoplasm of the uterus or ovaries, adding to the complexity and urgency of her situation.

Jessica's journey has been overwhelming and filled with numerous visits to specialists, countless imaging tests, and consultations to determine the best course of action. The current treatment options include chemotherapy, radiation, and potentially a rectum resection with permanent colostomy placement. Each option carries its own set of challenges and financial burdens, and Jessica is facing them with remarkable strength and courage.

Why We Need Your Help
As Jessica continues to fight this battle, the medical bills are piling up, and the costs are becoming insurmountable. From specialist consultations to imaging tests, lab tests, future chemotherapy sessions, and possible surgeries, the expenses are overwhelming. We are hoping to raise $15,000 to help cover these medical costs, alternative "non-covered" treatments, and to ensure she meets her high out-of-pocket deductible. Unfortunately, our healthcare system doesn’t offer the best health insurance for self employed individuals, and a lower monthly premium means a higher deductible. Your donations will support Jessica through this difficult time and help to alleviate the stress and financial worry.

How You Can Help
Your generous donation will go directly towards:
Medical bills: Covering the costs of specialist visits, imaging tests, chemotherapy, radiation, and potential surgeries.
Medication: Ensuring Jessica has access to the necessary medications for her treatment and pain management.
Daily expenses: Helping with transportation to and from medical appointments and any other unforeseen expenses that arise during this journey.

Jessica is an incredibly kind and caring person who has always put others before herself. She has touched the lives of many with her compassion and generosity. Now, it's our turn to be there for her. Every donation, no matter how small, will make a significant difference and bring us closer to our goal.

Thank You
We understand that times are tough for many, and we appreciate any support you can provide. If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing Jessica's story with your network. Your thoughts, prayers, and positive vibes are also immensely valuable to us during this time.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your kindness and support. Together, we can help Jessica fight this battle and give her the strength to keep going.

With Love & Aloha,
Gary, Tina & Ellyn
