Support Shelby's Fight Against Stage 4 Cancer

Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted supporters,

I am writing to you today with a heavy heart and a deep sense of urgency, as I seek your support for my incredible wife, Shelby Jackson. She has been bravely battling stage 4 cancer for 2 years, enduring two major surgeries, a full cycle of heavy chemotherapy with immunotherapy, and heated chemo during surgery. Shelby was diagnosed on her 30th birthday. Sadly, the cancer has returned, and it has spread to her liver, where over five small tumors have formed. Her oncologist has recommended standard chemotherapy treatments, but the outlook is grim, and the impact of the traditional treatment is something we fear she may not be able to endure.

While we are deeply grateful for the care and support she has received, we both believe that the toxic nature of conventional chemotherapy will take too great a toll on her body. My wife wants to live a full life, not just survive, and she has found an alternative treatment that offers hope. This treatment still involves chemotherapy, but in much smaller doses, combined with therapies that target the underlying health issues contributing to her condition. It provides a far more holistic approach and gives us both hope for a longer and better quality of life.

However, this alternative treatment is not covered by insurance or government programs, and the costs are overwhelming. Each session will cost at least $4,800, and the full course of treatment could exceed $60,000—an amount that is simply beyond our ability to afford.

As her husband, I am reaching out to you, asking for your help and absolutely your prayers. Any donation, no matter what the size, will go directly toward her treatment and will make an incredible difference in our lives. Your support and prayers will not only provide her with the chance to receive this essential care, but it will also bring us both the hope and strength we need to keep fighting.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for considering a donation. Your generosity means more to us than words can express, and we are deeply grateful for any support you can provide.

With love and gratitude,

The Jacksons
