Help Natalie Fight Cancer!

Natalie is such a special woman! Many words come to mind to describe her: beautiful, honest, kind-hearted, sweet, fun, charismatic, intelligent, spirited, ambitious, thoughtful, young, courageous, enthusiastic, and lovely to name a few.  Those of you that know Natalie,  know that she is a generous, Christian woman with a huge heart!  She cares for her family and friends more than anyone would ever know and always considers others' feelings before her own.  In March, Natalie was diagnosed with cervical cancer which would prove to change her life forever.  The specialists were trying to be conservative in treating the cancer by performing less invasive surgeries to remove all the cancer cells.  Natalie underwent several surgeries which forced her out of work and caused more emotional and physical stress.  Doctors gave her body a rest for a few weeks before the next surgery which was going to be her last.  In May, just two short months after being diagnosed, Natalie went in for another "easy" procedure, but the cancer had spread into her lymph nodes labeling it Stage 3 aggressive cervical cancer.  This forced doctors and her family to make the terrible decision to perform an emergency hysterectomy only to tell Natalie after surgery.  She is currently undergoing chemotherapy once a week and radiation five times a week, and her doctor is  recommending six and a half weeks of treatment.  Doctors have advised her take a minimum of 3 months off from work during and after treatment, as she is going to be extremely weak and tired while fighting side effects of treatment.  As you are aware, everyone responds to treatment differently so Natalie is anticipating how her body will react.  She is a strong 25 year old woman, and I know her perseverance will get her through this trying time in her life.  Just before her diagnosis, Natalie bought herself a new car not anticipating this for herself .  She still has monthly bills to pay and the  medical expenses will be growing exponentially during treatment.  If you would like to help Natalie navigate through this period of her life, any donation amount would be greatly appreciated.  If we reach our goal in helping Natalie, the extra money collected will be donated to  another cancer fund or other charity.  We believe God has a plan for Natalie and he is in total control of this situation.  God can get us through anything if we believe in His plan and wait on His timeline for our lives.  If you cannot donate financially, we are just asking you to pray!!  Pray for healing, knowledge, strength, protection, peace, health and love.  Thank you again for all the support in this time of need.  We love our Natalie with all our hearts!
