Mel, aka Momo, was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer on June 4th of this year. She is facing the fight of a lifetime with tenacity and an even stronger sense of humor. She will face challenges such as medical treatments, recovery, and time off of work. She is currently undergoing chemo therapy through September. After her chemo is complete she then will need to under go a double mastectomy followed by reconstructive surgery. She currently has health insurance, but it will not cover all of the medical bills, housing, and other daily life expenses. Mel is going to need all of our help during this difficult battle.
Mel has always been there to support her family and friends, as long as it doesn't require a phone call!! She is always willing to give a quick joke, a big hug, or a shoulder to lean on when others have needed it. This is our chance to step up and give her the same help.
She has two wonderful daughters, Sarah and Anna, a fantastic son in-law, Edward, and precious little grandson Elias. All of which she enjoys spending all of her extra time with.
There is also an account at the Omaha Police Federal Credit Union that is accepting donations if it is easier to donate at. It is titled Melanie's fund.
Thank for your continued support, texts, facebook messages, and even phone calls. It is all truly appreciated from the bottom of our hearts. Please continue to pray for Mel and the family as we navigate this diagnosis. Please feel free to share this page with any of Mel's supporters.
