Many in the Longwood Community know Chrissy Story through the Longwood Youth Theater Experience (LYTE) program, her work with special needs children, church or though her three amazing children: Rich and Anna Cornell and Logan Story. If you do know Chrissy, then you know she is always worried about and supporting everyone else, and she never wants the attention on her. Well, I personally think it's time to return the love and support she so often provides to others.

In December of 2020, Chrissy went to her doctor to get her annual mammogram. By the middle of March-she noticed a large lump in her right breast. After a biopsy, she was diagnosed with DCIS- Ductal Carcinoma In Situ- stage 1b and had a double mastectomy in May. Unfortunately, during the surgery, her doctor discovered that the cancer was in her lymph node as well. After further testing, the doctor discovered that, due to her genetic makeup, the cancer she has is very resistant to chemotherapy. Now, in addition to chemotherapy, Chrissy has to get antibodies infusions to help the chemo fight the cancer. Chrissy will need the infusions for the next year as well as 4-12 treatments of chemo. As you can imagine, hospital and medical bills will be coming in on top of typical monthly bills to help take care of her family. Unfortunately, she is currently unable to work due to her course of treatment. I am asking for your support to please lend a helping hand and donate to this fund to support Chrissy during her time of need. I personally have experienced the devastating physical and financial reality of cancer and other serious medical conditions in my own family and know the cost of treatment can be an overwhelming burden. Please give what you can and share this post. Thank you.
