This fall Michelle was diagnosed with stage 4 Gastric endocervical adenocarcinoma. It is a very rare form of cervical cancer that can’t be detected in normal screening which means by the time it was discovered, it was already incurable.

Michelle has always been strong-willed, quick-witted, and fiercely independent — and she’s facing this battle the same way, but she doesn’t need to face it alone.

I would like to help ease Michelle’s financial stress as she is no longer able to work. She cycles through good days and bad days and her doctors have placed her on a permanent medical leave. I would like her to be able to make the most of every good day she has left.

Michelle has always handled life on her own terms. Now it’s our turn to stand beside her and lighten the load.

If you can give, please do. If you can’t, please share. Let’s show Michelle she’s not fighting alone.
