Sending strength and love for Tina Kloczko

Hi, My name is Michelle Fader

I am starting this page for my friend Tina Kloczko. Tina and I have been friends for 34 years. Our friendship started in the hallways of St Patrick’s high school. I was so quiet and shy, Tina , so vibrant and outgoing. Complete opposites but we became friends on that first day of grade nine.

A little about Tina… She has always had a love for animals. After high school , she went to college to become a vet tech. She started her career right out of college and has never looked back. Tina is the proud mother of two amazing children. Kian , 15 and Sienna, 13.

At the beginning of this year , Tina was diagnosed with a rare form of lung cancer. Adenoid cystic carcinoma. Tina had surgery today ( March 14th, 2022) to have her right lung removed . Once she has healed from that , she will begin radiation. Tina will have a long road ahead of her .

When I heard the news, my first thought was what can I do to help? So here I am , beginning a GOFUNDME page for Tina. My hopes are to relieve some of the financial burden that will come while Tina heals and gets stronger again. This has been shocking and difficult news for Tina and her loved ones. It will turn her world upside down. Please consider donating to Tina and give a little bit of financial relief to her and her family. She will need all the love and support during what will be some very trying times.

Tina, you have always been feisty, strong willed and determined throughout your life. We will continue to send positive thoughts, prayers and love your way. You are not alone my friend.

March 17th ….. an update from Tina 

Okay everyone this is the update, I have IV fluids in me but it’s running at a slow and of limited rate so they don’t flood the one lung. I also have an arterial line so they can watch my blood pressure very closely. I had my right lung out as well as Part of my diaphragm out bc it has spread, part of my pericardial sack which is the sack that surrounds your heart. So very serious. Just being able to drink small amounts of water and ice a day. One cup. Pain management and antibiotics. Nothing else to report folks. Thank u for ur prayers and support everyone. Xoxox
