<div>My wife, Tara Eveland, was diagnosed with type 2B Breast Cancer this year. We have been trying to manage the overwhelming tasks and costs that come with this diagnosis on our own and with some help from close family and friends. Luckily we have health insurance but as you may or may not know, insurance only covers so much cost and only after hitting a deductible and out-of-pocket max. Tara has continued to work 40 hours a week while going through her diagnosis and treatment. According to all the foundations, grants, and financial help available that we've looked into, we don't seem to qualify for any financial aid. With a new year coming up quick, those deductible and out-of-pocket max balances get reset to zero. We are just hoping to not be in debt for years to come over this diagnosis. We ask for your help this giving season in contributing any amount if you're able or simply sharing this page with others. We know there's a lot going on in the world, but anything helps!
