Support Donna's Battle Against Breast Cancer

UPDATE:

What was supposed to be a simple partial mastectomy procedure and radiation treatments has turned into much more. After two unsuccessful partial mastectomies, Donna now has to have a complete mastectomy of her right side and ,fortunately, she still only needs radiation treatments and hormone therapy. The downside to all of this is that it’s dragging out a lot longer than we originally thought. She’s going to be down for the next several months as she undergoes surgery, reconstructive surgery and radiation treatments. We are very appreciative of all the donations we’ve received so far, and all the prayers. We’re going to continue this fundraiser awhile longer as the bills keep coming and for all the gas expenses running back and forth to Dr. appointments and treatments. Thanks again for everyone’s help. Keep the prayers and positive thoughts coming.

My name is Angel Arrington. My dear friend Donna has had a rough go of it this year. She started the year off recovering from an accident she was in just before Christmas. It left her unable to work for several months. Her husband, Bill, had to have a very extensive hernia repair surgery in January. A few months after she started back to work, their vehicle had to have a very expensive repair (transmission) and was down for almost a month. Back on the road but financially strained again. Just when they thought they were back in the game, Donna was diagnosed with breast cancer. Obviously, this was a devastating blow. She will be unable to work until after completing surgery and treatment, which could take up to two months.

This is supposed to be the most wonderful time of year, but the stress of financial worries and her cancer have seriously put a damper on her joy.

Donna has been my friend for almost 30 years. We've seen each other through some very difficult times. She has such a positive attitude and just refuses to give up or admit defeat. She and her family could really use a little help this year with household expenses and business expenses that unfortunately keep coming whether she works or not.

If you can't help out monetarily, she would appreciate it if you could share this post and keep her and her family in your prayers.

Thank you.
