As many of you know, my sister Terri Pedersen, is bravely battling esophageal cancer that has spread to her breast and more recently to a lump on her arm. She’s currently undergoing aggressive chemotherapy, radiation, and immunotherapy, which is taking a toll on her ability to eat. As a result, she recently had a feeding tube placed. Unfortunately, the severity of her treatments has also left her too weak and exhausted to work, adding to the financial burden she is facing.

Terri is a very proud person who would never ask for help herself, but her situation is becoming more difficult. Having lost her husband Jerry 15 years ago to non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, she has been living with only one income. The road ahead is long, and she could really use the support of family and friends. Any funds raised will go directly to help her with medical bills, living expenses, rent, and the cost of traveling back-and-forth to appointments.

Terri is a beloved mother, grandmother, mother-in-law, daughter, sister and friend to so many. She’s facing a heartbreaking fight, and now more than ever, she needs a strong support system to help her through this challenging time. Please keep Terri and her family in your thoughts and prayers as she continues her fight for her life. Your support means the world.
