Mom of 2 young girls facing stage 4 cancer needs urgent help

Donation protected
"In just three months, I went from being a full-time mom to fighting stage 4 cancer — now I’m asking for help to keep my girls safe and our home livable while I battle for my life."

About Me

My name is Chelsea Fronk, and I’m the proud mother of two beautiful daughters — Stella (10) and Emma (11). We live with my father, who is on disability. Until a few months ago, life was challenging but manageable… and then everything changed overnight.


How It Started

* March 2025 — PET and CT scans showed no cancer.
* April 2025 — A lung biopsy led to a collapsed lung, putting me in the hospital for a week.
* Soon after — I noticed a small bump on my right shoulder. Within three months, it grew quickly and became painful.
* Diagnosis — The tumor (5x6 cm) was removed, and tests revealed stage 4 squamous cell carcinoma of unknown primary (SCCUP).

The cancer had already spread, and my doctors are urging me to begin aggressive treatment immediately: two chemotherapy drugs and two immunotherapy drugs at the same time.

The Challenge

This treatment will:

* Weaken my immune system
* Put me at high risk for infections
* Leave me unable to work or manage our household needs

Right now, my greatest fear — besides fighting for my life — is making sure my daughters and father are cared for and our home is safe during my treatment.

Why I’m Asking for Help

Our home needs urgent repairs and safety modifications so I can live safely while going through treatment. At the same time, bills and the cost of raising two young girls continue to grow.

Donations will help cover:

* Essential home repairs and safety modifications
* Household bills and basic living expenses
* Care and support for Stella and Emma while I undergo treatment
* Emergency needs related to my health and mobility
