Hi, my name is Brook and I'm Beth's sister. As you may already know, Beth was diagnosed with a grade 3 astrocytoma (brain tumor) exactly 2 years ago. Since then, she has seen God move in a mighty way in her treatment journey. She has received the absolute best care at Mayo Clinic with Dr. Q and his team. In August of 2020, she underwent surgery and Dr. Q was able to remove 80% of her tumor. After her recuperation, she stayed in Jacksonville for radiation treatment. That was then followed up with months of chemotherapy. Once completed, MRIs showed no sign of her tumor or any bloodflow to that area. Praise God!
Since then (over a year ago), the team at Mayo is keeping a close eye on Beth's tumor. This requires trips to Mayo every 3 months. Each trip incurs significant costs (airfare, hotel, meals). Thanks to inflation, those costs have skyrocketed. Beth has considered trying to reduce costs by seeking care elsewhere (like Mayo Rochester), but if you're like me you don't want anything but the best for her.
As you can imagine, this places a significant financial stress on Beth and her family. 2 years ago, I organized a t-shirt fundraiser and y'all rocked it! But that was 2 years ago, and I'm reaching out to her loved ones once again asking that you consider helping her defray some of the costs again. Dr. Q and his Mayo team in Jacksonville are amazing and as a family, we want to ensure that Beth continues her treatment there. A donation in any amount would be so appreciated. Prayers for her and her medical team even more so! Thanks so much and God Bless.
