Kelly has always been the heart and soul of our family, spreading love and joy wherever she goes. Last year, during a routine checkup in California, her doctor discovered a lump in her neck. Since then, Kelly has visited multiple doctors, but unfortunately, she was misdiagnosed several times. Just recently, we received the devastating news that the lump is actually thyroid cancer, and the mass has grown rapidly in a short period of time.

Now, Kelly needs to undergo surgery in Florida, but she faces significant challenges. She doesn’t have a way to get there or a place to stay before and after her operation, the financial burden of travel, temporary housing and lack of full insurance coverage is overwhelming, especially during such a stressful and emotional time.

Kelly has been the matriarch of our family and friends for decades. Her love is so widespread that people across the country light up with joy when they hear her name. She brings a big, wholesome, lovable energy to every room she enters. Your support would mean the world to us, helping provide Kelly with the care and comfort she needs during this heartbreaking and crucial time. Thank you for considering a donation to help Kelly on her journey to recovery.
