Support Megan While Fighting Cancer and Welcoming New Life

Donation protected
My sister Megan and her husband Roy have been on a long and emotional journey to grow their family. After enduring four rounds of IVF-three unsuccessful and one miraculous success-Megan is now 23 weeks pregnant with their much-anticipated baby.
Recently, Megan discovered a lump on her neck, which led to a series of ultrasounds, biopsies, and doctor visits.
She has been diagnosed with papillary carcinoma of the thyroid, with the cancer also affecting her lymph nodes.
Megan was looking forward to spending her 6 weeks of paid maternity leave cherishing every moment with her hard-fought-for newborn. However, instead of the joyful maternity leave she envisioned, she will now have to undergo a neck dissection, total thyroid removal, and additional treatments.
At this time, it is unknown how long Megan will need to take off work to recover from surgery, undergo treatment, and care for herself while also adjusting to life with a newborn.
We are asking for your help to give Megan the time she needs to heal and bond with her baby without the financial strain of lost wages.
Every donation will go toward easing the burden of unpaid time off, covering everyday expenses, and allowing Megan to focus on what matters most-her recovery and her baby.
Thank you for supporting Megan and Roy during this incredibly difficult time. Your generosity means the world to them.

**UPDATE: I want to sincerely thank everyone for their incredibly generous donations. Your kindness and support mean more than words can express. I’ll be keeping everyone updated as we navigate this journey together with her. We couldn’t have done this without you all, and I am truly floored by your generosity. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Please continue to keep them in your prayers
