Help Kelly in her Battle Against Stage III Lung Cancer

Kelly Sparks Needs Us Now More Than Ever

Just a few weeks ago, our friend Kelly Sparks suffered a serious embolic stroke that left her hospitalized and in need of months of rehabilitation. In the midst of her stroke recovery, doctors discovered something even more devastating: cancer.

A biopsy of an inflamed lymph node revealed that Kelly has lung cancer. It is confirmed to be at least Stage III, and further testing is underway to determine whether it has progressed to Stage IV. There is no Stage V. This is as serious as it gets.

While the diagnosis is overwhelming, there is hope. The specific type of cancer Kelly has responds well to certain treatments, and her doctors are optimistic. Her oncology team is preparing a treatment plan that will likely include chemotherapy, radiation, and possibly surgery. But the road ahead will be long and grueling — made even more complicated by the stroke she is still recovering from.

This is a fight for her life — and for the chance to be here for her two young daughters.

Kelly won’t be able to work for the foreseeable future. Between stroke rehab and cancer treatment, she has no source of income and no financial safety net to support herself and her children. She needs our help, urgently, to get through this.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who donated to Kelly’s initial stroke recovery GoFundMe. Your generosity gave her peace of mind in a terrifying moment. But her needs have grown exponentially since then, and this new campaign reflects the full gravity of what she is facing now.

Funds raised through this campaign will help cover:

• Rent and essential living expenses

• Food and necessities for Kelly and her daughters

• Cancer treatment and medications not fully covered by insurance

• Rehabilitation and therapy following the stroke

• Childcare and transportation during treatment

• A financial lifeline while she focuses on healing

Kelly is fighting for her life, and for the chance to be here for her daughters. Let’s rally around her now — not just to show our love, but to give her the real, tangible support she needs to survive this.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for standing by Kelly during this critical time.

With deep gratitude,

Stacey
