Support needed for Shirley: Fighting Stage 4 Cancer

Hello, my name is Kayla and with a heavy heart, I'm creating this GoFundMe to seek urgent support for my sister-in-law Shirley, the cherished wife of my husband's older brother, Lee, who was diagnosed with Stage 4 Metastatic Colon Cancer in May 2024. This shocking and devastating diagnosis has inflicted severe physical and financial suffering on her.

For those who haven't had the privilege of knowing Shirley, she is a truly remarkable woman with a heart of gold, a smile that can light up any room, and a laugh that dispels even the darkest days. Her love for her baby boy, Benny, is immeasurable, yet this merciless illness has robbed her of countless precious moments with him, as she endures grueling chemotherapy and is cared for by her mother, Sabrina, during treatment weeks. The relentless chemotherapy has severely drained her body, and the immense strain on her husband as the primary caregiver of their child, has cast a heavy shadow over their lives.

The current treatment plan involves continuing Chemotherapy until doctors determine it's time to perform a CT scan to reassess the tumors. If the tumors show a positive response to the medication, surgery will be performed to remove them.

The financial strain is immense. Chemotherapy costs $3,000 even with insurance, and surgery will require thousands more out-of-pocket expenses. Any contribution you can offer would be deeply appreciated and go towards mounting medical bills and food due to dietary restrictions.

Thank you for your compassion, prayers, and any support you can provide during this incredibly difficult time. #ShirleyStrong
