Help Madisen in her battle with rare cancer
Donation protected
In July of 2023, Madisen L received a crushing diagnosis for a young wife and mother of three small children. Doctors told her that the concerning lump she had noticed behind her knee was a rare form of malignant sarcoma — she has cancer.
Madisen has since been blessed with the good news: as far as scans can ascertain, the cancer has not spread. At least, not yet.
With the help of her husband, Seth, she must now face a gauntlet of treatment decisions that will affect the rest of her life. And not just for her sake, because the outcome will also impact her two daughters and her son, all under the age of six.
Madisen will be doing the responsible thing for any customer of the medical industry, and seeking multiple opinions. Some of her medical providers are out of state, and will require Madisen and Seth to be away from home for days at a time. Once all of the preliminary consults are complete, treatment will begin in earnest.
On behalf of my sister-in-law Madisen and her family, this is a request for financial support to help this young family with:
- Travel expenses (including fuel, room, and board)
- Childcare (for anything necessary for leaving their children in care of family during travel, appointments, and treatment)
- Lost income (as Seth has and will continue to be missing time at work to be with Madisen during appointments and treatment)
- Treatment (TBD, but likely to incur significant cost and possibly medical debt regardless of the avenue chosen)
Your donation will assist a Christian family in their pursuit of healing for their wife and mother. It is my hope that through this means, their psychological burden — already significant with anxieties about the future of Madisen's health — can be eased as we show them that the Lord will provide for them financially through this trial.
Thank you for your support.
