There are some people in this world who have the sun inside of them. It’s hard to explain, but their sheer presence just brightens everything and everyone around them. It’s not how they look or what they say. They have something internal that shines bright.

Melinda (Lynn) Clark is one of them.

Anyone who is lucky enough to know Lynn will agree that she exemplifies kindness, compassion, and pure sweetness. Lynn has always embodied a wanderlust, which has led her to many exotic landscapes and wonderful places throughout her life. Those who are lucky to know Lynn are beyond proud to call her their sister, love, neighbor, or just friend. Her beauty shines through her passions for gardening, music, and making the world even more lovely through her creative spirit as an artist. When you look in the dictionary for the definition of giving, Lynn’s image will be there. She is always available to help anyone in need, no matter the request, but now Lynn is on the receiving end of needing help.

Lynn has recently been blindsided by an unimaginable diagnosis of invasive ductal breast cancer. As anyone can envision, she and her family have been processing the unfortunate news while embracing a new, unknown world of doctor appointments, scans, biopsies, treatments, chemo, and future surgery. The recent weeks have been filled with medical terminology she never wanted to learn, while taking notes and trying to remember important information to retain which doctor said what. Although the diagnosis may be daunting, the specialists she has visited have given her hopeful statistics of recovery.

Always a giver, it is not easy for her to ask for help and support, but sometimes life hands you lessons that you may not have thought you were ready to receive.

Now, the journey begins as she faces the loss of income while turning her attention to a new routine that will be filled with expenses, such as travel for treatment and all the costs associated with cancer medical treatment and recovery.

This GoFundMe page has been lovingly set up by her inner circle, who wholeheartedly believe she deserves all the kindness you can extend during this difficult time. Your generous support will help Lynn concentrate on her recovery, allowing her to navigate this period with grace and peace of mind.
