Donation protected
Hi all,
My name is Bridgett, and my sweet baby cousin is fighting cancer ... again :(( Stephanie is only 33 years old, and this is her 4th time battling life-threatening cancer. Each battle has been so important, but she is a mother now to baby girl Viviana -something the doctors told her after her second extremely intense battle would probably never happen.
Her first battle with cancer was when she was 2 years old, but these recent ones are very close together. Because of the treatment and the travel she will need to do working is not consistent (she's a chiropractor). I would love to help support her family by relieving some of the heavy financial stress with this Gofund.
Steph's journey...
2 years old: Wilms tumor, chemo, radiation, and surgery.
28 years old: Synovial sarcoma, chemo, radiation, and surgery.
32 years old: Metastasis to the lungs - 8 tumors removed from both lungs, and chemo
33 years old: Metastasis again - 2 rounds of chemo and immunotherapy (still to be finished)
Stephanie is very private and is NOT one to ask for help. I had to give her a little push to let others help right now. She is one of the most positive and kind people I have ever known. She has fought each battle with grace and has managed to keep her positive outlook throughout. If you feel moved to help, any amount helps as she is once again fighting for her life and for her beautiful daughter to have a Mama.
I would be so grateful, and I know Stephanie is beyond grateful.
with love & gratitude,
