These funds will be used to support Deb as she battles colo-rectal cancer and navigates the financial challenges of her medical journey. She has just completed intensive treatments, recovering from difficult surgeries and other ongoing health issues such as seizures and strokes. Deb has been through chemo and radiation, just recently finishing in the past week. She awaits follow-up testing in the upcoming months to see how effective recent treatments have been.
She has been unable to work as she navigates this difficult time. Prior to this series of medical events, she was working to re-establish her role as an RN.
She has also been through significant insurance changes which have impacted out-of-pocket expenses in the last year.
