Meet Emily, my baby sister.  Emily is 29 years old, and has 3 wonderful boys, aged 5, 7, and 9.  On January 27th of this year, Emily lost her husband and the father of her boys to a horrific motorcycle accident.  Dealing with this loss would be extremely tough for just about anyone, but nothing could prepare her for what came next.  

On 10-13, my baby sister was diagnosed with stage-3 brain cancer.  2016 already being the worst year of her life, Emily's outlook was positive, telling me that "It could be worse".  In 2 weeks, Emily will begin her treatment in hopes of fighting this awful disease.  This treatment will consist of radiation and chemotherapy 5 days a week for 6 weeks.  

Our family does not have a lot of money, so she is applying for medicare in hopes that they will help cover the costs.  I am not asking for help with her medical bills.  However, due to the physical and mental tolls that chemotherapy and radiation can take, she is going to be overwhelmed trying to keep her home clean, and keep her boys fed and dressed for school.  

I am trying to raise money to hire her a cleaning service for the 6 weeks she is going through treatment, as well as some sort of child care service that can get her kids fed and off to school in the mornings, and fed in the evenings and put to bed.  

My hope is that during this stressful 6 week period, she can just focus on herself, and winning the fight against cancer.  Her treatment starts in 2 weeks, so we need to raise this money pretty quickly.

Please...if you can help, our family will be forever grateful.  We know how awful this kind of treatment can be, and just want her to not have to worry about her kids in the meantime.  Thank you for taking the time to read Emily's story.  Even if you can't help, please share this with your friends.  Any help we can get towards our goal will make her life a little easier.  

Thank you again,
Emily's loving brother, Ken.
