Please help Krista with her battle against cancer

Donation protected

My Name is Dave and I am reaching out to everyone I know and everyone that you know in the hopes to help my sister with her battle with her newly diagnosed colon cancer. We are extremely heart broken to now know that Krista is going to have a very rough go dealing with 2 rather large tumors in her bowels and liver. They are so big at the moment that they have deemed them "inoperable". Krista and her family will need all the support that we can give as she starts chemo treatments in just a couple short weeks.


The tumors in her body have been very swiftly having a profound and negative effect on her. Krista has eaten only but a small portion of solid foods in nearly a month and has since lost nearly 25 pounds already. Being reduced to virtually a liquid diet, she is almost unable to have a normal bowel movement.  She is in extreme pain and now very suddenly on a wide variety of heavy pain medications.  

No one deserves cancer, especially not my sister. She is beautiful, loving, caring a fanstatic mom to Gage, Blake and Hunter.. a wonderful daughter to our parents David & Minnie.. a thoughtful and caring sibling to all 3 of us boys (Kevin, me and Dana). She has many friends who all love her dearly and I know would do almost anything for her. Well now is the time. 

Krista's partner in life (Gary) is a very special person. They have an incredible bond and love for eachother. If you get to see them together you will understand how perfect they are for eachother.  Gary is going through so much himself.. this is very difficult for him. Hearing the words "inoperable" rendered him speechless and not knowing what to say or do. Gary is the breadwinner for the family, but very soon he will have to be off work to look after Krista when she is too sick to help herself from the ravaging effects of Chemo.

She deserves to have the best fighting chance possible and if we can ease even a small amount of the financial burden that they will be facing, it would be a huge help in the long run.

Through all of this so far, she has remained  extremely positive and always smiles when she can. She is so strong.

Please give what you can. We all love Krista so much.

Much love sis,

Dave

Here's a few photos of my beautiful sister.. always smiling. :)
