Team McQueen Fight Club! Rachael's Healing Cancer Journey
Donation protected
Nothing can quite prepare one for the news Rachael received yesterday. Surrounded by people who love her dearly, Rachael was given an Aggressive diagnosis of High Grade Neuroendocrine Large Cell Cancer.
What we know; this Aggressive Cancer is in multiple places in her body though we don't know the origin just yet. Her left femur head has deteriorated as a result, and she will need surgery immediately to implement a steel rod before the bone breaks. After that, radiation, chemo, and immunotherapy will be scheduled. She will also need a Port IV implemented so the medicines she needs can be distributed quicker and more effectively throughout her body. There are also many more CT scans, Brain MRIs and daily doctor visits to Sturgeon Bay, Green Bay and to Froedtert Hospital in the Milwaukee area. We don't have all the answers yet, but we do know this; We Need Your Help.
Rachael is currently in a great deal of constant, excruciating pain. She has been unable to work for a couple of weeks now as a result and will not be able to return to work in the foreseeable future. She needs to focus on recovery, not finances. It's time to unite our forces and come together in community for our girl. Please donate to help cover the medical treatments, bills, medications, traveling costs, living expenses and alternative health & wellness investments while she heals and recovers. Every little bit helps. Every Penny, Every Prayer. Your Daily good vibes, prayers and love are needed just as much as the financial support right now. Every way you can help is greatly appreciated.
It takes a great deal of courage to face something like this. Our girl is bringing all the fight, all the hope, and all the humor with her as she takes this battle on. Her outlook through this all is nothing short of inspirational. She is no quitter! I know we can match her faith, optimism, and courage as well and show her just how loved and supported she truly is. I've seen our community come together to create and perform miracles many times in the past. The power of our people is real. YOU make the difference. Your support is immeasurable.
Rachael's energy needs to be prioritized on her healing journey. That is why we ask you to PLEASE not overwhelm our girl by reaching out personally to ask her questions or process your pain around her diagnosis. Look here for future updates (we'll post as we know more). You can also reach out to me directly if you need help processing this. It takes a village my friends.
The Pearl of Door County (located at 143 S. 3rd Ave, Sturgeon Bay) as well as Trattoria Dal Santo's Italian Restaurant (117 N. 3rd Ave, Sturgeon Bay) are both accepting cash and check donations for those who prefer not to donate online. We are also asking for Donations of Service (IE: Massage, Sound Therapy, Reiki, Body Work, etc). With all the intense work being done on her body in the months to come, it’s so important that she has love poured back into her with physical, emotional, and spiritual ways to release what comes.
Rachael has so much life yet to live. So much love yet to give. And so many experiences yet to be had. We never know how long any of us truly has. Please help Rachael fully live every day as comfortably as she possibly can.
With Humility, Humbleness and Sheer Gratitude, thank you for being a part of the Team McQueen Fight Club! Time to Kick Cancer's Butt!
• Meal Train is in the works, more to come with that soon!
• If you want to get more involved in Team McQueen, please reach out and I’ll let you know how you can help. It takes a village and there’s plenty of ways to support our girl. Thanks in advance.
