Donate to Kate's Journey Through Cancer Treatment

Hello all! My name is Fran Cosgrove.

I have a big favor to ask. I have a good friend who is facing another health and financial crisis. Many of you know Kate Scola DeRico Gaudiosi and all that she has been through. Again, she is facing another health crisis as she has been diagnosed with Bilateral breast cancer. The doctors said her case is unusual. She underwent surgery on September 30th, where she had a double mastectomy with reconstruction surgery. As most of you know, over the past 12 years, she has battled bouts of bladder cancer along with losing two husbands and now faces this as well. I said to her, "If it wasn't for bad luck, you would have no luck at all." Kate works an average of 80 hours a week to keep a roof over her head. Unfortunately, with her recent diagnosis, she will not be able to do that.

So I am asking for your help to raise money for Kate as she will be unable to work as she faces a long journey with surgery, radiation, and chemo. No amount is too small. If you cannot donate, please share. Let's help Kate so she has one less thing to worry about.

Thanks all!
