Dear friends, family, and all who read this,

We are sharing this with a very heavy heart. Our daughter, Madison, has just been given a breast cancer diagnosis — words no parent ever expects to hear.

This news is still so fresh, and as we work through the shock and start planning for her treatment, we know there’s a long road ahead. Madison is only 37 years old, and she is one of the sweetest, most caring people you could ever meet. She is always finding stray animals to help save or foster, from ducks to cats, even little critters, her love for animals is unmatched. Now more than ever, Madison needs our help and support.

She will soon begin a treatment plan that will eventually invlolve surgery; which means months of appointments, procedures, and recovery time. Unfortunately, her health insurance does not cover any biopsy’s or surgery’s. This makes her journey with cancer even more difficult and it’s not something we want her worrying about.

With this new diagnosis comes unexpected medical bills, time away from work, and added expenses that no one ever prepares for.

We are raising funds to help cover:

• Medical bills and treatment costs not covered by insurance

• Transportation to and from appointments

• Lost income during recovery

• Everyday living expenses so she can focus fully on healing

Any amount, big or small, will make a real difference for Madison as she begins this fight. If you aren’t able to donate, sharing this page helps more than you know.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for standing with our family during this scary and uncertain time. Your support, prayers, and kindness mean everything to us as Madison starts her journey to recovery.

With gratitude,

Al & Edie Simons
