Support Vickie in Her Final Fight with Cancer

Hi, my name is Melissa, and I’m raising funds for my friend Vickie who has been like a mother to me for 24+ years.

Vickie has been diagnosed with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer, which has aggressively spread to her liver, lymph nodes, and bones. Her and her medical team have transitioned her to palliative care. The focus now is on keeping her comfortable, pain-free, and surrounded by love.

This campaign isn’t just about the financial support — it’s about giving Vickie peace in her final chapter.

How You Can Help

We’re seeking to raise $20,000 to help cover:

* Home-based palliative care services

* Medical equipment and medications not covered by insurance

* Transportation for family visits and appointments

* Basic living expenses as she can no longer work

* Funeral planning and final arrangements

* And last, but certainly not least, to help her continue to support her children even after her journey has ended.

Why This Matters

Vickie is one of the strongest people I know. Her warmth, humor, and kindness have touched so many lives. She’s a mother, a friend, a fighter — and someone who has always put others first. Now it’s our turn to be there for her.

Every donation — no matter the amount — helps us give Vickie the care and comfort she truly deserves. If you are unable to donate, you can still support us by sharing this page with others.

From the bottom of our hearts: thank you for your compassion, prayers, and support.
