Help the Brown's during this tough time
Donation protected
Hello! I never thought I'd find myself in this position, but I guess sometimes life really throws you for a loop. Two weeks ago, our mother was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer, with mets (tiny tumors) throughout both lungs. Unfortunately, doctors have said that it is treatable, but it is not curable. Throughout her life, she often came down with typical bronchitis infections. What was originally thought to be a particularly intense bout of bronchitis, ended up being news that has turned our family's life upside down. We're taking things day by day, and appreciating every moment. Our mother, Diane, worked as a cardiac nurse for 20+ years. She dedicated over 2 decades of her life caring for others working on a cardiac ICU floor, as a float nurse, and most recently as a Home Health RN. She put her heart and soul into making sure members of this community were healthy and happy, but unfortunately now the tables have turned, and we are asking for your help.
That being said, we expect an insurmountable amount of medical expenses to accumulate in the coming months. She has just begun chemo treatment, which will take place every 3 weeks for the foreseeable future. Our mom is unable to return to work, therefore lacking a source of income & health insurance, meaning all expenses/bills will be paid out of pocket. Because of this, we are having to sell our home. During this heartbreaking time, all we ask for is your support, but if you feel so inclined to donate, anything would be deeply appreciated and you absolutely do NOT have to. If you're unable to donate, that's perfectly fine, and simply sharing the link would mean the world. If you'd like, feel free to send prayers and good thoughts our way.
Thank you SO much to everyone, we cannot thank you enough.
Sincerely, the Brown's & Family
