Please help Brooke Fight Pancreatic cancer
My name is Michael Bookston and I am doing this fundraiser for my wonderful daughter-in-law Brooke Elizabeth Brinker. Last week after experiencing what she thought was a kidney infection, Brooke and her family got the devastating news that she has stage 4 Pancreatic cancer which had also spread into her liver.
This has hit our family hard, as she is only 35 years old and a mother of three including a seventeen year old son, a fourteen year old son, and a six year old daughter that adores her. Brooke and my son have been together since they were sixteen years old and I know this is going to be hard on him as well. She is to begin Chemotherapy soon; we have been told with the strongest possible dosage.
If there was ever a fighter you would want in your corner it would be Brooke. She absolutely will not give up as her children mean everything to her. They know mommy is sick, but they do not yet know the full scope of how serious it is. This is a whole new world for us now as I am sure it is going to be a very rough road ahead mentally, physically, and financially.
What we want for Brooke and her family is that they be able to spend as many meaningful hours together as possible making memories that her family can cherish forever. If there is anything that you can contribute toward that vision it would be so greatly appreciated as the family is not in a good financial situation and this undoubtedly will be a heavy burden to bear.
Thank you.
