Help Kristin Focus on Beating Cancer, Not Work

At the end of summer, my sister got the surprise of her life. She was feeling unusually tired. We chalked it up to burnout. Her oldest had graduated from college, she and her husband moved him twice until settling in Chicago - life was lifing, as they say. She went to the doctor and was told to immediately see a cancer specialist. The tumor markers in her blood were high. She got in and was given the prognosis that no one wants. CANCER - ovarian cancer - stage 4.

Yes, Kristin, my sister and a dedicated wife, mom and amazing contracted bookkeeper, received devastating news last summer: stage 4 ovarian cancer. Despite undergoing a major surgery and starting chemotherapy, she's been struggling to balance her health with life and work responsibilities. As an independently-owned, solo business, she can't afford to take time off, even while battling this life-threatening illness.

The Challenge

Kristin faces a difficult situation:
