Celebration of Francine Norris’s life!
Donation protected
I am reaching out on behalf of a family I love and know that so many of you do as well. They could use our help and find it difficult to ask so I am for them. I believe that every one of us has been on the receiving end of the love, friendship, help and prayers of the Norris family.
A couple weeks ago Francine went to the doctor with extreme abdominal pain, thinking it was another case of diverticulitis. When she got to the doctor, they did a scan, and instead found a large tumor on her pancreas. They immediately went to the hospital and over the next couple weeks found themselves shuffled to different hospitals for procedures, even having to take an ambulance 3 hours to another hospital to get the biopsy done faster. After a tough week or so, the results came back as Stage 2/3 pancreatic cancer.
If you know the Norris family, you know it has been a tough few years. This family is very close and sadly lost their youngest daughter Heather, in January 2019. Now Francine’s husband, Bob, along with Sean and Kristyn has to deal with this incredibly tough news alongside Francine.
This is a tough time financially, spiritually, and emotionally for the Norris family. On top of the medical bills, they may again have to travel 2-3 hours for the surgery. This will also include several nights of hotels for Bob to stay close to his wife through this all. Kristyn lives relatively close (about 5 hours) but that is not a cheap drive, and Sean lives across the country in California
Our hope is to be able to raise money so that this family can spend more time together during this very difficult time. We don’t want them to have to worry about medical bills, travel expenses, or anything like that. We want their sole focus to be on being a family. Any way you can help is greatly appreciated.
We also ask for your prayers in this time. God does work miracles. This time can be overwhelming as well, so either Sean (Francine’s oldest) or I will do our best to keep this updated.
Thank you so much for your support; financially, spiritually, and emotionally.
If there is any other ways you would like to help, please reach out.
