My amazing Sister-in-Law Kelly Vargas has been selected for a clinical trial in Southern California at City of Hope, the “holy grail” of brain tumor treatment. See the attached link to learn more. https://www.cityofhope.org/research/car-t-cell-therapy/car-t-cell-therapy-for-brain-tumors

For those of you that have been following Kelly’s journey, you know that she has had multiple surgeries and treatments and has been championing glioblastoma since early 2020.

As you are probably well-aware, Kelly is an amazing wife, mom, auntie, sister, daughter, and friend. She is one of the most selfless people I know who goes above and beyond to help anyone at a moment’s notice and without question or hesitation. She never asks anyone for help, but has agreed to let me create a Go Fund Me account to help her out at her time of greatest need. Let's gather together to help Kelly and her family get through this difficult time with a little less stress. This Go Fund Me account will go directly to her to be used for lodging, travel, and food.

Kelly will be in Southern California for 6-12 weeks with her support team rotating shifts to ensure she has the care and support she needs. The first week will include surgery and insertion of catheters to administer treatments. The following weeks will include ongoing treatments and monitoring with recommendations from City of Hope that her support team be present daily.

Thank you so much for considering how you can help Kelly and family. If you would like to provide support in other ways or have any questions please feel free to reach out.

With heartfelt gratitude and appreciation, we thank you!
