Helping Hands for Nicole

Donation protected

My cousin Nicole was in the ER two years ago experiencing abdominal pain. The ER physician failed to order a CT scan to discover the underlying cause of the pain. Fast forward to this year, she started experiencing more severe abdominal pain, losing weight, and having fevers. After one 6 hour surgery in September and another biopsy, she finally got her diagnosis of cancer. She is going to undergo many procedures, as well as Chemo and radiation.

Nicole is a hard working mother of 5 ages (17,15,15,9 and 5)who has a full time job as a mental health therapist. The pain and procedures she has undergone already have caused her to use all earned PTO, and, as of this time, she is unable to work, which means no income at all (with it being so close to the holidays with 5 children, adds an additional source of stress and worry). Unfortunately, due to only being at her new job for under a year she is not eligible for any type of short term disability. Raising a family financially this day and age is hard regardless of other struggles that come into play. This is an unimaginable time for Nicole and her family, but yet they remain positive, hopeful, and full of faith.

This would be used to pay living expenses as well as medical bills since she is not able to work from being in pain, having procedures, and doing chemo (not to mention continuing to raise her amazing kids). Having no income with 5 kids, a household to run, and serious health issues (so close to the holidays) is impossible and extremely stressful and worrisome, which is why i want to do this for her. When a situation like this arises there isn't much anyone can do. Helping take the financial load off of Nicole can remove added stress and allow her to focus on herself and her health the way she needs to. Nicole is more like a sister to me and would do anything to help anyone. She is an amazing mother, daughter, wife, sister and friend.

Any donations would be greatly appreciated. If you’re not able to donate I completely understand, but, if nothing else, could I just ask for prayers of healing and strength for Nicole and her family during this time. Those don’t cost a thing, but are very powerful and needed on this journey. God bless, and please know I will post updates on Nicole as I have them.
