Our beautiful friend Stephanie. Full of love and light and everything good. Always there to lend a helping hand. Now it’s our turn.

Stephanie is 53 years old and the mother of six. She works full time as a sales representative for our local newspaper. Earlier this year, Stephanie was diagnosed with stage three rectal cancer. Her prognosis is good, but her treatment plan is extensive and long going. Chemotherapy treatments began in mid-September and will continue until mid-January at which time she will continue chemotherapy and begin daily radiation treatments for another six weeks. This will require either daily travel or lodging near the medical center.  Our hope is that at the end of her treatments, the tumor will have shrunken enough to be operable.

Stephanie is continuing to work as much as possible but will be able to work less and less as treatments continue. We live in a small community, and she must travel 150 miles (round trip) for each treatment. We have started a GoFundMe page in the hopes of helping our friend Stephanie raise money for medical, travel, and living expenses until she can get back on her feet. We love our friend dearly and would love to take some of the financial burden off her and her children.

If you feel it in your heart to donate, we would greatly appreciate it.
