Help Robin start a new life after cancer
Hey - I'm Liz, and I'm fundraising for Robin - she needs a little help in her journey, as all of us have or will at some point!
I met her when I was very young, she nannied my siblings and I for years, and made a huge impact on our childhood! She was always fun, imaginative, positive, kind and so loving! We still won't eat avocado because of wild and wacky fruit day.
She had us convinced that a monkey had bitten the bead she wore in her hair (it was the 90's) :) actually, she recently told me this was true - during a missions trip to communist countries, outside a circus a monkey jumped on her shoulder and bit her bead on the end of her braid!
Robin has raised her own children since then, and been through quite a lot of life trials.
Last year she found out she had cancer,
Ampullary adenocarcinoma of the pancreas, caused by diabetes medication (still on the market). She has recently finished her last round of chemo, but recent scans have shown the cancer may be spreading to lymph nodes.
She needs us to help lessen the financial stressors, with 20k in medical bills, now looking for holistic healing measures - which insurance never covers! she also has to find a new place to live, various debt, and to facilitate end of life expenses.
Thank you for reading and any help is so appreciated!
