Kathy Duggan Support Fund

With all the unexpected life serves up, its important to try and remain positive in those moments, to assist in ways we can even if it is just as simple as a kind word of encouragement or a smile. You never know how one may be suffering on the inside and how that one simple gesture could impact the person in emotional pain
Other times a way to pay it forward may require more than kindness and emotional support. In a world where money is a basic need for survival, and then that resource is unexpectedly taken away during a persons darkest hour, we as friends family and humankind can come together to help shine light where darkness has overcome hope. Yes we all have experienced difficulties through life some have an easier time getting back up then others. I hope as you read the story below you will find it in your heart to help someone we call friend. She needs our help financially and any donation big or small will make a very big impact in lifting her up out of despair and is greatly appreciated.....,

Kathy has fought for many years with back and neck issues.  Recently she was diagnosed with Lymphoma (malt) cancer.  Her treatments will consist of 56 chemotherapeutic sessions.  She is fighting for her job and her medical benefits. She does have the support of her friends , but has exhausted her family support. Her bills are mounting and she has no way of paying them.

She has fought debilitating neck and back problems since 1989.  She was assaulted in 1991 that resulted in a broken neck.  In 2012 she had the first of several surgeries on her neck.  She worked through OT and PT to regain her strength.  Kathy had to endure another neck surgery a few months ago that resulted  in her spine being fused from C-2 all the way to T-3.  She has had to take a leave of absence from
her job as theyDX the cancer during this time.

She has since fallen behind in all of her bills. 

Kathy is a 1984 graduate of Hyde School. He disability has run out and she has no income at all. 

Please help in in any way you can. Any amount would be helpful and appreciated.
