Mom of 3 with stage 4 T-Cell Lymphoma Needs Help

I am setting this GFM up for my beloved friend Kay. Please share with anyone and everyone! This is her story:

Kaitlyn Marie Williamson is a person that if you met her once, you will remember her forever. A devoted friend, hard worker, and the best mother her 3 beautiful children could hope for. She has faced a hard life with many challenges and tragedies including the loss of a child when she was just 18 years old. Through it all she has battled and fought to come out on top and keep her family safe and loved. Her personality lights up every room she enters and anyone that knows her understands what I mean. She is a selfless, compassionate, kind and loving human that causes people to gravitate to her simply by being her.

Over Thanksgiving weekend, feeling ill, she went to urgent care. They immediately knew something was wrong and it led to her admission to UCSD Cancer center where she was diagnosed with Stage 4 T-Cell Lymphoblastic Lymphoma and Leukemia.

This news was devastating. Upon discovering the actual diagnosis we learned the protocol to follow. Extensive, aggressive and debilitating chemotherapy treatments spanning a projected 2 years. This burden will be handled with the strength and courage Kay has shown in the past and is known for and her family and friends are devoted to step up to help every step of the way. This does however put a deep financial burden on the family as she has been out of work for several weeks and will only get state disability that does not kick in for a couple months.

The initial report was allowing Kay to come home in a week for outpatient treatment. That abruptly changed once arriving at UCSD Medical Center. They feel she should remain under their care for at least a month to see a reduction in the mass in her sternum. This was also devastating news as her kids have been without their mom for weeks now and will most likely barely see her for the next month. This includes missing Christmas and couldn't come at a worse time.

Despite sitting in a hospital bed fighting for her health, her concern lies with her children's well being and her family to not bear any further suffering or hardship through this period.

It would mean everything to her to know that her children are comfortable as they bear through this together.

My devoted family

 

Please help spread the word to all who feel compelled to aid in easing the financial burden her husband and family will go through. Any amount is appreciated, big or small. This will go towards many different expenses including housing, groceries, hospital bills, and recovering lost wages as she is unable to work. Kay will need time off after beating this for mental and physical recovery and devoted time with her children and family. The bills add up quickly and she needs your help, friends and family.

Thank you for reading this and thank you all for your words of encouragement and support. We will fight this and we will win!
