Help Nicole with Medical Costs

Thank you to all who have generously donated to Nicole and family! I made the decision to raise the goal because we have had so many requests to donate and inquiries regarding exceeding the goal. Thank you for your help and kindness during this hard time!

For almost two years, Nicole has been battling some catastrophic health issues. In August 2020, she fainted and fell off her bike. A month later, it happened again, only this time she broke her back and shattered her wrist. In September, during a routine check, the doctor suspected that she had bladder cancer, and in October, a biopsy confirmed that she was suffering from stage 2 bladder cancer.

After getting several opinions from doctors, it was decided that she needed a radical cystectomy, which involves removal of the bladder and the uterus. As you can imagine, this is a devasting reality.

On March 15th, 202` she was she was able to undergo surgery and was healing, when she had to return to ER from complications with the surgery. She is fighting every day, mentally and physically.

Nicole needs our help. Since her diagnosis, she has not been able to return to work. Her family is offering wonderful support, helping to keep up with medical and every day costs, but this adds up and we ask that you give what you can to help her get through this. Without income and medical bills accumulating, her family is struggling in ways they shouldn't have to, in addition to her health demands.

Nicole is a bright light and an amazing mother, sister and daughter. Right now, she needs our love and support to help her get through dark times. If are not able to donate monetarily, please be sure to reach out below in "comments" and send her your love and prayers. She appreciates anything you can offer her at this difficult time, and we will continue to update you here.
