Help Nicole Payne

Donation protected
Nicole is a wonderful mother, sister, daughter, and friend. Unfortunately, she is facing her last days in her battle with cancer. She will be leaving behind her son, Giovanni (16), and her daughter Jayde (8). 

Once Nicole's cancer was identified it was pretty far advanced and it didn't leave her time to save and plan for her funeral. We are hoping to raise enough funds to alleviate this burden from her family. 

Last summer, Nicole went to the doctor because she was having pain in her knee. After several scans, they learned she had a very aggressive form of osteosarcoma. She quickly was given surgery to remove part of her leg and knee where the cancer was most aggressive. They replaced her bones with metal and hoped she would be strong enough for chemo. Unfortunately, Nicole has a unique gene that makes her body resilient to the treatment. So it was doing more harm than good. She and her doctors had to make the hard choice to let cancer continue to grow as she wasn't strong enough for other surgical options. 

Nicole is now in the hospital waiting for the end. Knowing there are funds to help cover her funeral costs will be a huge relief for her.

Any additional funds will be passed along to her children. 

Please consider donating to help Nicole during her final days.
