Donation protected
UPDATE: Sadly Leslie found out about 12/12/24 that her dear doggie, Coco pictured with her, has also got cancer. Needless to say the vet bills are piling up now too. Please give them some relief this Christmas and make a small donation. Thank you and Merry Christmas!
Hello to all my friends and family. To those of you that have not had the pleasure of meeting my dear friend Leslie Kohler, let me say a few words about this lovely and gentle Soul. I first met Leslie about 17 years ago when we were doing volunteer work together. We both attended the same Church, but hadn’t met until then. Leslie is a true and trusted friend and a wonderful Mother to two children. She’s a dedicated worker and is a very compassionate person who serves others well and is a true Christian. She is now asking for help for herself as she battles Stage 3 colon cancer. Here in her own words is her plea for assistance. Please pray on it and donate if you are able. Thank you and God bless you.
Hi! I'm Leslie Kohler and I'm a single woman battling Stage 3 colon cancer. I'm also a substitute teacher, an Uber Eats Driver, and I have one tutoring student. I just completed 8 rounds of chemo treatments and am embarking on radiation combined with more chemo. Radiation is every morning for 5 weeks. After that I'll have surgery to remove the shrunken tumor. I may have to live out the rest of my life on a colonoscopy bag which obviously I'm not thrilled about.
Needless to say, all these treatments have taken a toll on my body and have taken up a lot of time which greatly impacts my income. (The chemo treatments were 3 hours each.) I've pushed through to work but some days I was so tired I just slept all day. My biggest concern is paying my bills, especially after surgery because I won't be able to work for at least a month. Already my accounts are low due to reduced work time.
I'd like to be focusing on my physical and mental health to help cure my cancer but all I can think about is financial survival. Not good for cancer recovery. Can you please contribute to my Go Fund Me Page? I'd love to relax and heal knowing I can cover my monthly payments. I'm trying hard to work as much as I can but it's difficult.
Thank you to all of you that can reach into your hearts and help me through this difficult situation!
