Kim has cancer. Now that that’s out of the way, it’s time for us to focus on helping her survive this. After two years of kidney procedures and constant discomfort, the picture has become clearer—Kim has been diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma.

Multiple Myeloma is a type of blood cancer that has dramatically impacted her overall health. It first affected her kidneys and has now caused lesions on her bones. Kim’s career is physically demanding, and her work has been significantly slowed as her body struggles daily with pain and discomfort. Despite her limited energy, she now faces the enormous task of covering weekly copays for chemotherapy and medications. Even with discounted hospital programs in place, the financial burden is overwhelming.

We have a few ways to help raise funds: through direct donations here and direct Venmo donations. We are hoping to find other ways to raise funds and suggestions are welcome. Any contribution, no matter the size, is deeply appreciated.

Lastly, a kind reminder: a phone call or a text to Kim can be the greatest gift you can give her. Please reach out and let her know how loved and valued she is as she fights through these treatments. Thank you to everyone who supports her during this incredibly challenging time.
