Support for Ilona During Cancer Journey

Hi everyone! My name is Grace. I am Ilona and Mark’s daughter. For those that do not know, my mom Ilona was recently diagnosed with Breast Cancer. We are so thankful that it was caught early through a routine mammogram. While it is still relatively small, the type of cancer has been described as “high risk”, “aggressive”and “fast growing.” So the fact that it was caught early is a huge blessing and the surgeon is confident that with a lumpectomy, radiation, possibly chemo, Mom will make a full recovery.

During the 2-4 week recovery period post-surgery and during any subsequent treatment, my parents will need support regarding funds for meals, post-surgery supplies, perhaps any medical fees not covered by insurance, and “surprise” expenses. My mom has been the one with the full-time job, the type of work my dad does is more intermittent. So they will be taking a substantial financial cut as well while Mom is unable to work (and we’re not sure yet how long that will be).

If you are able, would you consider supporting them in any way you can? Firstly, I know they would greatly value your prayers for peace/healing/wonderful medical care. Of course any well wishes are always a welcome encouragement. Secondly, for any financial support, we would be most grateful. If you are unable to donate, we totally understand! In any case, perhaps you might consider sharing this Go Fund Me page with someone just to spread the word. All your support in any way makes a significant difference, so thank you! :)
