Hi, my name is Julie Reisinger and I am emploring you to please consider helping a family that so is very near and dear to me! Veronica has kept this information pretty private, mainly for her kids, but also because it has happened in almost a blink of an eye. In the past few weeks, Veronica has experienced extreme pain in her abdomen from a mass and tightening of her trachea, among other symptoms. While she has not received an official diagnosis, she will be starting a series of treatments soon, of which her insurance does not cover.

With four children, three of whom are in college and one in high school, I'm sure you can imagine the financial burden this puts on the Hansen family. I wanted to start this GoFundMe to help them cover even the most basic of needs at this time. As you can imagine, the pressure they are feeling from this life-threatening illness is overwhelming. I'm hoping that we, her friends, family and community, can try to help put a dent in the financial strain.

It's also about showing the Hansen's how much they are loved by all of us. I don't know about you, but I've been so very blessed to have them in my life. It's hard when you don't know what to do for someone in this situation. And I think sometimes money sounds "cold". But in this case, it is the best way to show that you care. Any amount. It will be appreciated.

I'm sure you will all be anxious to hear updates about V, and I will make sure to get them to you. Unfortunately, Veronica can't speak for more than 2 or 3 minutes without severely dehydrating herself, so you can leave a message here and she will see it.

Thank you to everyone! Your love, prayers and happy thoughts into the world mean so much!!

Julie
