Support Cathy's Final Journey with Melanoma

My name is Taylor Wilder. My sister, Nacole, and I are raising funds to help cover medical costs and the unfortunately impending costs associated with her passing.

It is with an extremely heavy heart that I write this. Mom is not doing well.

Unfortunately, our mother’s 20+ year battle with melanoma has taken its toll. Since July 3, 2024, her life has been upheaved. She suffered from a large bleeding mass on the right side of her brain which had to be immediately removed. Within 24 hours, she received a craniotomy on her right frontal lobe and was recovering remarkably well in the ICU. She was able to enjoy a few short weeks with family resting. Unfortunately, as they tend to do, things took a turn for the worst. She is now within the last stretch of her life with melanoma now consuming her brain, lungs, and kidneys. She has been placed on hospice care and is expected to pass within a few short weeks.

As many know, our mother has been self-employed for over 20 years now. She kept her company small and intimate, just the way she wanted. With that being said, she does not have life insurance or medical insurance. Mom has lived a humble and loving life, taking the care and time to bless others long before herself. For her, taking care of others is how she took care of herself.

During this challenging time, many have reached out to ask how you may offer support. We haven't known how to answer that question with more than a request for prayers. As Cathy does not have life insurance, the best way to help her out right now is through financial contributions to assist with upcoming expenses, medical costs and the unfortunately impending costs associated with Cathy’s passing.

If you are able to contribute, we would be deeply grateful for any support that you are able to provide.

Thank you for your kindness and understanding. Your support means a great deal to our mom and us.
