Tanya Lindstrom Breast Cancer Relief Fund
Donation protected
Our much loved friend, mother, wife, sister, daughter, cousin, midwife and goofball Tanya has suddenly received the news none of us ever wants to hear. Only a few short weeks from losing her dad to cancer she received a diagnosis of Stage 3 Breast Cancer.
Her life is swiftly and immediately shifting from working full time as a Registered Midwife to focusing full time on her fight against cancer. Treatment will include chemotherapy, surgery and radiation. The plan she has been given will require her to pull away from her current life and work for a year.
Tanya’s first thoughts went to her clients, her community and her midwifery team. She was trying to devise a way to keep busy, support her beloved patients and continue working despite the toll this would take on her health. In her crisis she thought about everyone else, but this is now our turn to put her first and midwife her through the biggest fight of her life.
It’s now our turn to give back, help her rest and beat cancer. We have learned that this fight will take all of her physical, mental, emotional and financial resources. We want to make sure she has the stability to just focus on healing. We want to take as much of the financial burden from her so that she can rest and fight this awful diagnosis without having to think of how to keep her family afloat.
Tanya has touched so many lives and supported so many mamas in pregnancy, labour and postpartum and we need her back on the job as soon as possible. Would you help us help her and her family by giving them the gift of time? Time to heal, time to fight and time to focus on her life.
Her treatment is swiftly approaching and she will be off work immediately. The benefits midwives are eligible for in a scenario such as this are not nearly enough to cover her families living expenses. Our goal will not replace the income lost but will aid in delivering our Tanya back to us in full health. So Tanya can keep delivering your babies and doing what she was made to do.
Thank-you for your love and generosity. Please share this fundraiser far and wide! We welcome sharing of your own stories and love for Tanya here on this page. Your thoughts and prayers and positive energy mean as much to Tanya as any financial contribution you could make, reading them will bring her strength during her battle. Please send those things up on her behalf as well.♥️
