Let's help support Nicole as she continues her battle with her Orbital tumor.

Nicole, is a loving and giving mother of two who resides in Orlando, Florida. She will need to re-locate to Miami for two months to have surgery and radiation due to the rarity of her condition. Unfortunately they do not offer this particular radiation anywhere near her home, which will lead to exuberant upcoming expenses.

Nicole will be out of work for four months between, the surgery, the radiation and the recovery. Given she is the sole provider for her household, this will not be easy financially.

Nicole will need to cover the expenses of her medical treatment, medications, flying family members in to help care for not only her but her young son as well. If you don't know Nicole, she is an amazing cook and is always providing her kids healthy meals six days a week. Sadly, this will be a struggle during treatment. So in addition to helping cover medical expenses, the contributions will help cover DoorDash dinners for her children.

The copayments of these kind of surgeries and radiation treatments can become more than anyone can handle. Our goal is to make Nicole's journey through treatment a little less stressful in anyway possible.

Here is a little bit more about Nicole's condition over the past five years. She will be embarking on her third surgery since 2020. Nicole's biopsies have shown that the cells of the tumor are in the bone of her head. Based on the biopsies, Nicole will need radiation this time, whereas in the past she has undergone surgery only. The surgery is very painful, where they will cut her head open for the third time. The radiation will help try and shrink and hopefully kill this tumor once and for all. Sadly the tumor grew back even quicker this time, since her last surgery, this past summer of 2024. Nicole has about a 30% chance of the tumor not returning after her upcoming surgery and radiation.

We are all praying for Nicole and her family through this tough time and appreciate any donations and words of encouragement for Nicole.

Love,

Theresa and Dena
