Donate to Tracy Smith's Fight for Life and Family
Donation protected
Hello, my name is Cassie and I am trying to raise funds for my mother-in-law, Tracy Smith, and her family during their time of need. Tracy has been diagnosed with a very rare form of cancer known as sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma. This diagnosis was extremely unexpected and has taken Tracy and her family by complete surprise. She was admitted to the hospital on 10/08/2024 and has been there since. During her stay in the hospital, Tracy has been in need of 24 hour around the clock care. Her family and friends have gone above and beyond to make sure someone is always with Tracy to make sure she gets the care she needs and deserves.
We have received bad news after bad news during this time and Tracy and her family are in dire need of help. There was no warning of her health beginning to fail until these last couple of weeks and everyone has had to completely change their lives and schedules instantly in order to be there for Tracy. Her children are having to take off of work as medical and other bills are continuing to pile up. Brianna is Tracy's oldest child and a mother of three, who will take on the role as Tracy's main caregiver once she can be discharged. Tracy's youngest child, Chase, is 17 years old and is expected to graduate high school in June 2025. Brianna and her oldest son, Jacob, are doing their absolute best to make sure he has all the resources he needs in order to graduate on time and go to college to live his life to the fullest. I truly only want them to have to worry about caring for Tracy and Chase at this time and not stress about bills that only continue to pile up. Tracy is honestly the most kind and caring person I have ever met in my life. She loves her family and friends strongly and fiercely and has never been afraid to show it. She is a hard worker, dedicating the last few years at Langley Speedway as their bookkeeper. Tracy, her three children, and her three grandchildren's lives have completely changed and no one is completely sure as to what comes next with Tracy's battle against this aggressive cancer. Hard decisions have been placed on her children and it will only continue to get harder for them.
Monetary donations for medical bills, child care, time off work, and possible end of life arrangements would be extremely helpful during this time. Meal train donations would also be appreciated.
