Help Stephanie Gardner fight breast cancer

Hi! We are Lisa and Linda, friends of Stephanie, and we ask you to please help us help our friend as she battles an aggressive form of breast cancer. We are a couple of the many friends and acquaintances ready to help her with emotional support, transportation, meals and errands through this ordeal. But the harsh reality of having cancer is that much money is needed to pay for treatment, even when someone has medical insurance. We are prepared to help with this need as well.

Whether you count yourself among Stephanie's friends and acquaintances, or even if you don't know her, we ask for your help to raise funds to cover Stephanie's multiple co-pays, high deductible, high out-of-pocket maximum and other expenses incurred in her treatment process. And these expenses will most likely extend into a new calendar year to start the deductible cycle and out-of-pocket maximum all over again. Those are just the direct costs that are associated with cancer treatment.

Several indirect financial burdens while undergoing the various cancer treatments are also anticipated. Stephanie will likely lose full income from time lost at work. She will still have to pay her medical insurance premiums. Transportation expenses to get treatments, mental health counseling fees, perhaps new dietary requirements, and so on can also become onerous.

Please help us give our dear friend some financial peace of mind through this battle so she can concentrate on getting all treatments required to recover fully.

We thank you in advance for any help you can offer. We also invite you to revisit this page for updates as Stephanie has stated she will keep us all posted on her progress.

Warmest Thanks,

Lisa and Linda
