Help Gina A Woman With The Biggest Heart With Medical Bills

Donation protected

Hi Everyone,  this is Julie.  Gina has been my best friend (more like a sister) for over 17 years. Gina has helped so many people,  and she still tries to help even when she needs help herself. Why? Because that's the kind of person she is!
In April 2024 she went to the hospital not being able to breathe. They found out she had massive blood clots in both lungs & one in her leg. She was admitted and put on blood thinners. 
After many more tests and hospital stays, the blood thinner was causing her to hemorrhage ( which she already had this problem before the blood thinners) but it was so much worse now!
Her hemoglobin went down to a 5! She was rushed to the hospital again. And began receiving blood transfusions.  She had over 20 over the next few weeks! The blood was coming out as soon as they put it in.
The hospital stopped the blood thinner. This caused blood clots to shatter in her toes. She was screaming and crying! The doctors said it's like having a heart attack in your feet! This caused her toes to turn black and the blood flow stopped in her toes. The 2 big toes were the worst!
Many many more tests were done and it showed she has Stage 4 uterine cancer on the outside of the uterus and stage 2 cancer inside the uterus.
The doctors decided to give her radiation directly to her uterus. 
She was in the hospital for another almost 3 weeks.
She also suffered MANY mini strokes from the cancer.
When she was released she had to start chemo.
This has been a long road!
Her 1st CAT scan came good! Everything looked good . She continued the 6 sessions of chemo! 
She fought through all these sessions. 
The day after chemo you need a white blood cell needle.  This was the worst for her. It caused pains throughout her whole body . She would constantly cry in pain.
She finally seen a pain management Dr who got the pain under control as best as he could. ( nothing can get rid of all the pain from this)
Her little toes all healed. 
The right big toe kept getting worse.
That had to be removed March 7th.
She is hoping the left one will heal and she does not need that one removed. 
She finished the 6 chemo treatments. 
But her last few Cat Scans & Pet scan showed more swollen lymphnodes and they got larger over the last few scans.
She continued to get Keytruda Chemo treatments.  That can not stop. She needs a hysterectomy,  but it is too dangerous to do now.
The doctor is waiting for the next PET scan ( which should be this month)
So Gina will most likely need to go back on full chemo after that.
This woman has been through hell , but has continued to fight for her life!
Now the medical bills are coming in for stuff insurance isn't paying for!
Gina & Rich were not able to open the Christmas tree farm this past December,  so that was another financial hit for them.
She is no where near done fighting for her life , so that will be more medical bills coming in!
She refuses to ask for help! Well she really needs it! 
Gina & Rich put smiles on so many peoples faces with their Holiday displays! . They even donated trees to those in need ! Gina tries to help everyone she comes across ( even me) she helped me get on my feet and changed my life for tge good!  Well now she can really use the help! 
They are really struggling with the medical bills! 
So if you can please help! And share this page! 
She deserves to get the help , that she usually gives everyone! 
All the years of free holiday displays to make children & adults happy! And to make their holidays extra special!  She has a heart of gold! 
Thank you everyone for your time!  And please help her if you can.
