Tina Schmidt (Monnier) Fight against Sarcoma

Donation protected
Hello Everyone

I am making this GoFundMe account for Tina Schmidt ( Monnier).  She is someone who hasnt had an easy life from being a teenager and having to see the hardships of cancer at such a young age from watching her mom struggle with the ups and downs and then the loss. She seen it first hand her mom loosing her battle to cancer.  Now Tina is fighting her own battle.  A little over a year ago she got the news that nobody can prepare for, she was told she had cancer.  Not just any cancer Synovial Sarcoma which is a more rare form of cancer that can come from different types of soft tissue, such as muscle or ligaments usually found in your leg, arm, foot near joints like your wrists or ankle.  It can also show up in the soft tissues of your lungs and abdomen. She spent almost all of last year fighting for her life. She was unable to work due to the treatments and the surgeries that she had to have.  The cancer was under her arm in the armpit area and they ended up cutting a half of a baseball size lump out and it limited her range of motion to where she may or may not be able to go back into the nursing field which has been her source of income for almost 20 years.  For the past 15 months her husband has been the only source of income.  Just when she thought things were starting to look up she found out last eek her cancer is back.  She will now need a 3rd surgery and more treatments.  She has been married for almost 6 years to Brandon.  She is a mother of  3 wonderful boys Joseph who is 21,  Justin who is 16, And Jaden who is 11 a step daughter named Nevaeh who is 18 a grand daughter who named Ivie who is 2 and another grand daughter due in July.  Lets give Tina the chance to fight and be able to see her children grow up to do great things and to be able to watch her grand babies grow up to have babies of their own.  Lets help give her win this fight.  Because of Covid her resources for help are very limited. Trying to help the financial hardship and burdens this has created for her.  She is a life long resident of NWI. She lived in Lake county when she was a little girl to porter county which is where she resides with her family.  She is one of the most amazing, caring, and loving people I've ever met.  She has the heart of gold and would give you the shirt off her back if need be.  If you can donate anything anything at all rather it be $1 or $5 anything would help her have a chance.  Lets come together and help give hope in anyway.  Thank you all so very much for taking the time to read this.  She needs all the help she can get.  All of what is raised will go to Tina.
