Help Steve & Rhonda with cancer medical expenses

Donation protected
Mid September 2022 Rhonda felt like she had a sore throat, sinus or ear infection, clearly something wrong. She went to the doc, and got no answers. A lump slowly grew on her limph node area on her neck. Shortly after the New Year, she had another appointment got an MRI, and was told a biopsy was needed to verify if it was indeed cancerous, and unfortunately it was.

1.31-appointment at the UW Carbone Cancer Center, the following week, we were told that it was Squamous Cell Carcinoma. It started on base of her tongue and has spread to her neck.

2.23-After waiting for the PET scan machine to come to town, 3 weeks later, it's just about time to start her 6 and a half weeks of chemo and radiation. Due to her treatment, she will also eventually need to have a feeding tube put in.

Back in 2011, Rhonda was also hospitalized for 4 months with Cirrhosis of the liver. When she arrived at UW, we were told her liver was functioning at 8%. She was determined to get better and be able to come home, after lots of hard work and determination, she was able to., and had been sober ever since!!

As Steve and Rhonda's daughter- I would love to be able to relieve some of the financial burden, a little worry, and anxiety during this time, to give them both more energy and good vibes to heal from this awful disease.
