KELLY WALTHER CANCER FUND

Donation protected
October of 2014 ,Kelly's world turned upside down. Kelly, my sister-in law, was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. Kelly began her long regiment of chemotherapy and radiation. After an 8 month battle , Kelly was healthy and given the chance to have recontructive surgery and back to a normal life. However , an infection developed and surgey was postponed. Once again Kelly had another long journey with doctors and medication. During this time period , Kelly continued to work part time to maintain her position with her employer. Unfortunately  Scott was let go after 14 years with his company. Kelly continued to work while Scott looked for employment, eventually find ing a job in January of 2016. Things were starting to improve.   Kelly was back on track for her reconstruction.   In February 2016, Kelly began experiencing vertigo and was soon diagnosed with brain cancer. The successful removal of a walnut sized tumor has left Kelly with a plate at the base of her skull.  Again , Kelly faced another round of radiation with physical and occupational therapy.  Kelly has made some progress but still has trouble standing , walking , and other activities of daily living we all take for granted.   In early July 2016 , Scott found himself again without work. He must stay home, being the only care giver for Kelly who requires 24 hour attention during her recovery. 
Kelly and Scott have a minimal  income  and are at a point where they are unable to pay bills like  water, gas, car and day to day expenses.  They will lose everything they have worked for all of their adult lives . Any help would be appreciated and thank you.
