My name is Melissa and I'm raising funds for my dear friend and co-worker, Marshel Williams, and her family.

Her dad, Mark Stalder, was recently diagnosed with cancer after a necrotic mass was found sitting on a nerve along his jawbone. Mark will undergo surgery to remove part of his jaw, which will be replaced by a piece of bone from his leg. Recovery time will be roughly 6 weeks, and Marshel and her sister will be his primary caretakers for the foreseeable future, in which case Marshel will incur a loss of income.

I'd love to help them out a little bit with some of the financial burden, so I put this together in hopes that the community would rally around them.
