Dear Friends and Family,

I am reaching out to you today with a heavy heart and a hopeful spirit. Our dear friend, Melanie Bruton, has recently been diagnosed with glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer. This news has shaken us all, but I believe in the power of community and the strength that comes from love and support.

Melanie has always been a beacon of light in our lives—always there with a kind word, a helping hand, or a warm smile. Now, it’s our turn to be there for her during this incredibly challenging time. The journey ahead will be difficult, both emotionally and financially, as she faces intense treatments, medical bills, and the need for supportive care.

We are launching this GoFundMe campaign to help alleviate some of the financial burden that comes with this battle. The funds raised will go toward:

- Medical expenses not covered by insurance

- Treatment costs, including surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation

- Travel expenses for treatment

- Home care and support services

- Everyday living expenses to help Melanie focus on healing

No contribution is too small, and every dollar will make a significant difference. If you can’t donate, please consider sharing this campaign with your network. Your support means the world to Melanie and their family.

Let’s come together to show the Brutons that they are not alone in this fight. With your help, we can provide the love and support they need to focus on recovery and reclaiming their life.

Thank you for your generosity, prayers, and support. Let’s make this journey a little easier for Melanie, Patrick and Madison.

With love,

Laura Padilla
