Help and Support Marian's Battle with Pancreatic Cancer

Update***

We unfortunately were told the most gut wrenching, horrific, devastating news that my mother’s cancer is terminal with up to a year to live. As we are still going to fight, pray, and have faith that we still will beat this horrific outcome we were told, my mother, Marian, has a wishlist of things she would love to do and places to go but with bills piling up we are suffering. My mother will start chemo within a week to slow the process down and every donation received will go to paying off bills including medical, housing, and other expenses along with being able to let my mother enjoy the things she would love to do and places she would love to go. We truly appreciate everything everyone has done from donating, to sharing this, to the very kind words and prayers you have and are giving.

Thank you again and we are not quitting, we are going to continue to fight and miracles do happen and we are praying for a miracle for my mother ❤️

-The Dintelman/sparrow family ❤️

I can't believe I am writing these words because it's like a terrible nightmare that we can't wake up from. My mother Marian Dintelman went into the emergency room a couple nights ago for stomach pain thinking it was just a sickness to only receive the most horrific devastating news that she has pancreatic cancer that has unfortunately spread multiple places. Now, as she embarks on the fight of her life, we are rallying behind her to provide the support she needs to focus on healing.

My mother is the most selfless and strongest person I know. She puts everyone before herself and always is doing everything and anything for anyone she knows. She is the glue to our family. She has so much more life to live, she has so many more things to accomplish in this life, her husband, three daughters, 10 grandchildren and another one on the way, and all her loved ones need her here. My mother is a superwoman quite literally. She loves life, she loves spending it with her family and loved ones. She loves to be outdoors, fishing, in her garden, playing with her animals, cooking and dancing, listening to music and podcasts, reading books, and spending time with her family. She loves her grandchildren so deeply to where she has turned her home and all extra bedrooms into everything all about her grandchildren. Without my mother, our life wouldn’t be complete and our hearts will forever be shattered and broken and our family will never be the same.

We are going to fight this, pray, have unwavering hope, and do everything we can to keep my mother here on earth with us. We are researching everything possible and going over every treatment out there to figure out what is going to be the best option for my mother. With that comes a lot of medical bills, housing bills, other associated expenses and support that quickly adds up and puts a financial burden on my mother and our family. My father who is absolutely heartbroken is not able to stop working due to having to keep up with all of the bills and past bills they are trying to catch up on and I know he would love more than anything to be able to take this time off to spend it with his wife and be here every single second of what they just celebrated of 39 years of marriage.

We are asking for your support to help Marian receive the best care possible. All donations will go directly toward her medical expenses, treatments, and any other related costs to ease the financial strain during this difficult time.

Your contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference. If you cannot donate, we ask that you please share this fundraiser and keep Marian in your thoughts and prayers. Every act of kindness, big or small, provides comfort and hope to Marian and her family.

Thank you for being part of Marian’s support system and helping us give her the fighting chance she deserves. Together, we can help lighten the load as she faces this battle with courage and resilience.

I will keep this updated throughout this process.

My mother is so strong and beautiful and I am not going to let cancer take her from us!
