Donate to Shelly Adams' Healing Journey

My name is Shelly Adams. I was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic melanoma on July 28th, 2023. I have it all over my body: my right lung, my back, my lymph nodes, my adrenal gland. Since April of this year, it has spread to my brain. At first, it was one tumor, then 3, then 5, and now I have 8 tumors on my brain. Having it in my brain scares me more than having it in my body. I pray every day for healing and I have given it all to God at this point. The thing that scares me the most is that I don’t want to leave my kids. I want to see my kids get married and I want grand babies eventually.

I do have a life insurance policy that I signed up for in March, but with having the cancer I do, I have to pay into it for 2 years before I get the full benefits. It’s just enough for a funeral and for my kids to get a little bit of money. I don’t know what God’s plan is for me. I’m trying to stay positive and believe everything is going to be fine and this is just a little bump in the road. Honestly, I’m scared! I’m on disability and it’s just enough to pay my bills with not much left over. I would love to be able to start saving money just in case my kids need it and start making arrangements for myself, so they don’t have to go through that.

If any of you can donate/share or just keep me in your prayers, I will appreciate any and everything. I go on the 26th for an MRI and then see my radiologist right after to see where we go from here. I will keep you posted. I haven’t been feeling very good, I have a constant pressure headache and at times it gets more intense. I’m having a lot of stomach pains and issues. Probably TMI but I’ve always been a very open and honest person.

Thank you for all the prayers, well wishes, texts, calls…. Everything! It means the world to me and I love each and every one of you!! God Bless
