Join Pam’s Fight Against Stage 4 Cancer

Donation protected
Pam is loved by friends and family across the country and around the world. Her support system is vast and beautiful, and has kept her going through some difficult times.

After beating breast cancer several years ago, we thought she was in the clear. But a diagnosis in June proved otherwise. After months of tests and trials, we learned that her cancer has come back as Stage 4 Metastatic Breast Cancer, meaning the breast cancer has spread to other areas of her body.

As of now there is no cure, treatments and hospital visits will forever be a part of Pam’s everyday life. The tests and treatments and medications Pam is receiving are all prescribed for the purpose of extending life and alleviating pain or side effects. Pam will be receiving this care daily for the rest of her life, and the bills for these medications and tests will be part of her daily life, too.

The hospital has already had Pam fill out paperwork that would qualify her for what is essentially a loan to be used if an expense would be more that’s what she could handle at the time medication or tests were needed.

Contributions to Pam’s Go Fund Me will help her pay for these huge medical costs, and in turn, relieve a good amount of stress that accompanies these bills. As is true with those diagnosed with a terminal illness, keeping her life as stress free as possible is a medically prescribed technique.

Pam’s strength and optimism are unmatched, as her friends and family have all seen when following her journey. She posts honest, heartfelt stories about her journey that have helped bring awareness to what this diagnosis can mean and feel like. And as she’s told the stories of tests and treatments, she’s learned to ask for love and prayers from those around her.

A true fighter, a powerful woman full of grace and strength, a bright eyed, loving wife, mom, grandma, neighbor, coach, advocate, and friend.

Always the giver, she’s struggled to ask for help- but as she’s now faced with a slew of medical bills and treatments and diagnostic tests that are not always covered by health insurance, we feel now is the right time to do so.

So with an open heart, we ask that anyone who is able to donate, please do. The funds will go entirely to her cancer treatment so that she may continue to receive the best care as she navigates the path she’s been sent on. We thank you for your continued love and support.

As a sweet friend recently shared, “a little bit from a few can make all the difference in the world.” Thank you for making a difference in our mom’s world, and in turn, ours, Dale’s, her grandsons’, and everyone’s who knows and loves her.

All our love,
Ben and Anika (Annie)
