Hello, my name is Michelle White. I am reaching out to ask for your support as I face a challenging health journey. I have been recently diagnosed with papillary thyroid cancer, Graves' disease, and metastatic lymphadenopathy, which means the cancer has spread to my lymph nodes.

This diagnosis has been overwhelming, but I am determined to fight this. I am undergoing surgery to completely remove the thyroid and affected lymph nodes. After surgery, I will also have radiation and lifetime medication to compensate for having no thyroid.

I am asking for your kindness and generosity to help ease the burden of medical bills, extra treatment, gas, hotel stays, and time missed from work for my husband. I am no longer working, and my husband is the sole provider who has no extra paid time off. The hospital and all after appointments are in Los Angeles, which is 93 miles from where I live. I will have to make this trip several times.

Every donation, big or small, will help. If you can, please share this.
