Support Jodie's Fight Against Cancer

Donation protected
Hello everyone,

I deeply appreciate your time in reading my mother's story. Our family has been caught off guard by my mom's unexpected medical challenges.

On October 1, 2023, my mother sought medical attention for abdominal pain, leading to an emergency room visit. She was initially diagnosed with a colon abscess, prompting immediate hospitalization. Despite a six-day effort to drain it, the doctors were unsuccessful. Attempting oral antibiotics upon her return home, it became apparent within two days that this approach was ineffective. Subsequently, she received a pic line and underwent six weeks of antibiotic IV treatment at home. On December 19, 2023, she underwent surgery to remove the abscess, initially thought to be from diverticulitis. Following what we thought would be a routine post-surgery check on January 5, 2024, we were devastated to learn that my mother has stage 3 colon cancer. She is now preparing for an aggressive six-month chemotherapy regimen starting on January 29th, 2024. Despite the initial shock and the inevitable question of "why me," she has found strength and resolve to face this battle head-on—after all, my mother is a warrior!

Any donations received will directly support her with household needs and upcoming medical bills. Your contribution, no matter the amount, is greatly appreciated. If you are unable to assist financially, please consider sharing this with family and friends. We are grateful for the overwhelming love and prayers we have received.

Thank you, Her sons, Taylor & Dante
