Dora's breast cancer relief

My name is Charlotte Banks and I am hoping to raise funds on behalf of my niece Dora Crosby.  This is recent picture of Dora.

Dora is in the care of her grandparents, Larry and Bennie Guess.  Dora has been their dependent since her Mother's death in 2003.  Dora is a remarkable young lady, she is funny and friendly  and cheerful most of the time.  Dora can also be a spit fire and raise cane when she wants to do so.  Dora was born with special needs that make it challenging for her to communicate what she is feeling and thinking and that is challenging for my parents who are her primary caregivers.

We as a family have recently learned that Dora has a cancerous tumor in her breast and she will have to have surgery and chemotherapy and possibly radiation  We are hoping to raise enough funds so that Dora's grandparents can travel to and from the hospital during Dora's surgery and all of her treatments, this includes gas, parking, meals and incidentals.  Dora's doctors have told us that the overall treatment plan will take approximately 12-13 months.  This will be very costly for the family.  We ask that if you'll please consider donating whatever you can donate.  Dora's surgery and treatment will began in the next 15-30 days from today January 5, 2017.  

Dora means a great deal to our family and we hope and pray with great faith that God will see Dora and the family through this very challenging time.

Thank you very much for reading this Gofundme note and thank you for your kind consideration.

Sincerely,

Charlotte Banks and family
