Hello, my name is Tiffani and I’m fundraising for my mom, Jodie Carlow Herpel.

If you know my mom, you know she is made of sunshine and radiates positivity. She is a source for good and a light for all of those around her. So when all of this happened we were so, so, scared. We were in a darkness we couldn’t seem to come out of. But not my Mom. My mom had hope. And faith. And whatever happened, it was Gods will. I wouldn’t be surprised if that faith alone was why she got her miracle. 

In October she was diagnosed with pancreatitis after spending many a night in the ER with severe pain.

she had MRI’s, ultrasounds, and all kinds of tests, and stent put in her bile duct connecting her liver and pancreas. Then, the doctors found a mass on her pancreas. Not only was she put through the wringer with scheduling a biopsy, she had to travel to Northern Utah to get it done. Along with that biopsy she had more tests. Bills just started piling up. Results came back finally and she likely had lymphoma of the pancreas. But she needed another biopsy. In salt lake. Two weeks later she had one.

you don’t even need to hear the whole story to assume the medical bills are outrageous- with poor insurance coverage to boot.

after her second biopsy, so many hundreds of prayers and fasting and thoughts on her behalf, the second biopsy came back clear of cancer. A miracle. But we still don’t know what that mass is on her pancreas. The finding out will add to the medical bills, and as it is a new year, a deductible has not been reached.

We are rejoicing she does not have cancer, but we are also seeing the weight of medical bills lying supremely on my parents shoulders. We want to help! We are sending out a call for help.

$7,000 is the current total of her medical bills. As of today. But, there will be more.

if you can donate and/or share this, we would be so grateful.

Thank you!
