**UPDATE 10/9/24**

Tina is more alert and eating on her own. They removed the feeding tube and hopefully she will continue to eat more. She was transferred out of ICU and put in another room., and everything is looking good. Tina is being released from Stanford and being sent to Lodi Memorial Hospital Acute Rehab for after release rehab. She could be there for up to 10-14 days. She will now be closer to friends and family, but she still has a long road ahead of her.

Amanda is still recovering from her Chemo treatment last week, but is in good spirits and eager to get healthy.

Thank you all who have text, called, checked in, donated time/money or prayed. It means the world to the family.

Please continue to share and reach out.

Hello All,

I am Jennifer and I am writing to ask for your help and support for my best friend Amanda, and her mother Tina, who are facing many medical challenges at the moment.

Amanda-

On August 26, 2020, in the hight of the pandemic, Amanda suffered a stroke. Amanda was determined and was slowly recovering when on June 15, 2024, Amanda was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer. A week later she had a hysterectomy to remove the cancer and has sense been going through Chemotherapy treatment. Amanda is a mother to 4 amazing boys, Anthony, Alex, Eli and Brayden. And she continuously shows how brave and strong she is everyday.

Tina-

On Wednesday, October 3, 2024, Tina had a stroke. She took an ambulance to Dameron Hospital (Stockton, CA) and then was transferred to Stanford. This is over a 2 hour drive for most of the family to come visit her.

Tina is a devoted mother, grandmother, and friend. She is the glue that holds this family together. She adopted her 3 grandchildren and has been raising them, while also caring for Amanda and her medical needs, and caring for Blair, her brother-in-law.

Amanda and Tina have been struggling financially and Tina currently does not have a working vehicle. Any money donated will be used for medical expenses, traveling to and from hospitals and maybe towards a new car!

Any amount you're willing to contribute is so greatly appreciated, and if you aren't able to contribute money at this time, please share with your friends and family.
