Mother of 5 kids diagnosed with stage 4 cancer
Donation protected
My name is Michelle and I am setting up this GoFundMe page for my sister Jody Glidden.
My sister Jody has worked hard all her life. She takes care of others that have disabilities and special needs. She has sacrificed her time with her family to care for others who needed her. And now she needs some help from others.
After several years of being in and out of the hospital for unexplained pain and being misdiagnosed, Jody has now been diagnosed with endometriosis uterine cancer stage 4 that has metastasized to her lungs.
Jody has been told that she needs to go to Boston Massachusetts to talk to the oncologist there to determine what treatment she should have to slow this cancer down so she can be here to see her babies grow up. She deserve this blessing ! Local doctors here in Bangor/Brewer didnt feel comfortable treating her as her type of cancer is in a rare location. So Boston is the place that she NEEDS to be to get the fighting chance that she needs. However with 5 kids it's hard. Shes been out of work for 2 months already and shes the major bread winner of the family so to say they are struggling is an understatement! As well as every day regular household Bills, Jody and her family now has to come up with the fianaces to go back and forth to Boston for treatment. Her and her significant other Chris will need help with transportation , food and lodging while in Boston.
My sister doesnt EVER ask for help from anyone. She prides herself on being able to support and provide for her whole family on her own. Shes a very strong person with one of the biggest hearts I've ever known.
If there is anything you can donate to help my sister please do, even if its only to share to get the word out !
Thank you for taking the time to read, donate, and share .All are so appreciated... including all the prayers and positive thoughts and love!
Thank you from all of us !
