Meredith Grey once said, “We spend our whole lives worrying about the future, planning for the future, trying to predict the future, as if figuring it out will cushion the blow. But the future is always changing. The future is the home of our deepest fears and wildest hopes. But one thing is certain when it finally reveals itself. The future is never the way we imagined it.”

As most of you know, my sister was diagnosed in August with an invasive form of breast cancer called lobular carcinoma that has spread to her lymph nodes. She will be traveling to KU for a double mastectomy in November and will be off work while she recovers before starting chemo and radiation.

We have been asked by many how they can help! We have come up with a way you can support Kelsie directly via Venmo (@Kelsie-Shaver) or if donating through this GoFundMe works easier, know she appreciates it so much! Donations will be used for medical expenses, loss of salary due to treatments, and unknown expenses related to her recovery that she will face during this time.
