**Help Us Battle Stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer and B-Cell Lymphoma**

Dear Friends, Family, and Kind Strangers,

My name is Alan Van Winkle, and I am reaching out in a time of great need. My beloved partner, Kathy Raudenbush, has been courageously fighting a brutal battle against stage 4 pancreatic cancer (adenocarcinoma) and B-cell lymphoma.

Her journey has been incredibly challenging. She has undergone extensive treatments, including:

- Radiation for B-cell lymphoma

- Surgical removal of half of her pancreas, her spleen, and multiple tumors

- Treatment for a severe infection

- Six months of intensive chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer

- An upcoming six-week course of radiation to target any remaining cancer that has spread to other parts of her body

The physical and emotional toll has been immense, but we are determined to fight this battle together.

As her primary caregiver, I have had to take significant time off work to provide the care she needs around the clock. This has led to mounting bills and financial strain. We are currently behind on our rent and other essential bills, and the stress of our financial situation is adding to the immense burden we are already carrying.

We are seeking to raise $12,000 to help us catch up on our rent and bills, and to sustain us during these critical weeks of her radiation treatment. This support will provide us with the stability we need to focus on Kathy's health and recovery, and allieviate the financial stress that is overwhelming us.
