Help Sandy with medical costs

Hello, my name is Bonnie and I am fundraising for a dear sweet person, her name is Sandy Thornton.

In August of 2021, Sandy was diagnosed with Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) as well as Myelofibrosis of her bone marrow. She is receiving numerous infusions in order to keep her healthy enough (and alive) to be able to go to the next step. The only cure for Sandy is a bone marrow transplant. In order for Sandy to be ready for the bone marrow transplant, she has to go through two rounds of low dose chemotherapy, before the major rounds of chemotherapy start. We thank the Lord that she was able to find a bone marrow match from a healthy young lady that is going to bless Sandy with the much needed bone marrow. Sandy is scheduled to go to OHSU for a month, starting November 23rd, to get the transplant and her family will not be able to see her during this time. Sandy, and her husband Jason, will have to relocate to Portland for three months post-transplant, as she has to stay close to OHSU in case of complications.

Sandy and Jason are part of the Grocery Outlet family and own the Dallas Oregon location. As you can imagine being self-employed adds other stresses that complicate this medical journey as well as her healing process. While Jason continues to manage the store, get Sandy to all the necessary appointments and taking care of household matters. Their staff have been a Godsend!! And their daughter Lizzie is amazing!

We hope that you can bless the Sandy with a monetary donation and/or send prayers and positive thoughts to Sandy and her family. Anything and everything is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your consideration.

On behalf of the Thornton family,

Bonnie
