Phenomenal Woman - What Cancer Cannot Do

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Krissy, I am starting this GoFund Me for one of the strongest woman I know. My Aunt Colleen. My aunt is like a 2nd mom to me, there is nothing I couldn't go to her and ask for advise, help, or just her honest opinion for. She has and will always be a super woman to me.

On May 23rd, 2023 (my 43rd birthday) we were told the news that she was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) starts in the bone marrow (the soft inner part of certain bones, where new blood cells are made), but most often it quickly moves into the blood, as well. It can sometimes spread to other parts of the body including the lymph nodes, liver, spleen, and central nervous system (brain and spinal cord).

She has been spending most of her time in Rochester, MN staying in hotels and driving back and forth from home (Grand Rapids, MN) to Rochester for treatment.

I started this to help her with the upcoming expenses she will be faced with. She will be having to have a bone marrow transplant, which will require her to stay in Rochester for at least 100 days. Hotel expense, food and medical expenses that insurance will not cover will be 100% out of pocket expenses.
My aunt has been positive through all of this. Never mad, never talk of giving up. She is a fighter and will never quit. Faith that god will never give her more than she can endure. She is always positive.

We will keep updating this post with information of the progress. No amount is to small.

Thank you in advance for any help.
