Mom of 6 vs Stage 4 Metastatic Breast Cancer!

Dearest Family, Friends & Supporters,

Please join me in a warrior rally to help my baby and only sister, Mary Beth (46), in a battle against her newly diagnosed triple negative Inflammatory Breast Cancer/ Invasive Ductal Carcinoma and Metastatic Carcinoma of the axillary lymph nodes. Inflammatory Breast Cancer is both rare and aggressive and triple negative breast cancer is more difficult to treat.

Mary Beth is a wife of 15 years to her soulmate, Marcello and Mother of 6 beautiful children: Joshua (24), Kaden (20), Gabriel (15), Giovanni (13), Enzo (8) and Ariana (6).

Due to high insurance premiums associated with working for a small business, Marcello and Mary Beth have been unable to carry health insurance on themselves. Their minor children are thankfully covered.

Mary Beth is currently signed up with a healthcare program through the University Health System that has a monthly premium of $400 to continue to receive healthcare through that program.

Mary Beth will be facing chemotherapy, a double mastectomy surgery, along with dissection of her lymph nodes, radiation treatments, and possible drug trials.

Mary Beth and her family have a very long and strenuous fight ahead of them.

Any financial blessings that you can send their way would be more than greatly appreciated.

I will be lending as much support financially as I can, but as someone who lost her husband to Stage IV Lung Cancer in 2020, I am grossly aware of the overwhelming expense and am somewhat limited as to how much I am able to help.

Thank you so much, if you have read to this point. My wish is to alleviate as much of the financial stress and strain that goes along with a cancer diagnosis so Mary Beth can focus on her treatments, staying as healthy as she possible can, and spending this precious time with her family.

God Bless you all!

Shari Collins (60)
