Hi my name is Shantel, my family and I has come together and created this account on behave of my mother Stephanie. Unfortunately she has started this new chapter in her life and we want to do all we can to help and show our support. 

      Stephanie was diagnosed in January, 2015 with Osteosarcoma (bone cancer) which is rarely found in adults. She was admitted to Dana–Farber Cancer Institute and immediately began chemotherapy treatment. Now at home, my mom and our family are managing an extremely demanding and intense treatment schedule. After her first few rounds of chemo she will undergo an extensive surgery to completely remove the femur bone, followed by more chemo and a year in an intense rehab program. 

      We want to help Stephanie and our family with any additional expenses related to her treatment as well as day-to-day living expenses. With your help, this will alleviate the added financial stress during her treatments and surgery. Any donations are greatly appreciated.
