Melinda Lytle's Fight Against Multiple Meyloma

If you are fortunate enough to know Melinda Lytle, you know that she embodies the essence of kindness, generosity, and compassion. She has been a blessing to everyone around her always willing to lend a helping hand to friends and those in need. Melinda’s heart knows no bounds, and her selflessness has touched countless lives in our community. Melinda is an amazing hairdresser, interior designer, and annually decorates Christmas trees for many families.

This week Melinda was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma which is a rare blood cancer that affects the bones amongst other things. She had surgery on a broken femur and a neck fracture over the last week so she is unable to work and provide for her family. Her doctors are very optimistic about her treatment, but she has a long road ahead of her. She is in great spirits, in true Melinda fashion.

As a single mother of three boys, Melinda has always put her family's well-being before her own needs and is not great at accepting help from others. However, her inability to work due to the accident has brought financial strain upon her family. She is the definition of hard work, but this hard-working woman won’t be able to do that for some time while she recovers.

We pray that our friends and community will rally together to support Melinda during this challenging time. We have seen how she has blessed so many others, and now it’s our turn to give back to this extraordinary woman who has done so much.
