Deborah’s big fight against multiple Cancers

Donation protected
Hi everyone, we are fundraising for Deborah Murphy in her ongoing fight with cancer. As many of you know, she has been battling ovarian cancer as well as multiple myeloma. And recently, she has been diagnosed with Myeloid Leukemia as well.

She has been fighting hard, enduring chemotherapy and radiation along with expensive oral drugs. She required chemotherapy every week, 60 day PET scans at Mercy Medical in Baltimore, and frequent platelet and blood transfusions. And now, the Leukemia may require several weeks of treatment at UMD Medical Center, all the while hoping the Ovarian Cancer does not advance too rapidly.

Recently, her fight has become very hard for her and her family. Her son Matthew is her primary caregiver at home, and after almost 3 years, they have reached the end of their rope financially. This financial problem of course creates immense additional stress and depression for her which makes her fight even worse. She was hesitant to ask for financial help from others, but it truly is a dire situation and has opted for this.

In addition to past and ongoing medical expenses, they no longer have an operating vehicle for reliable transportation, which of course is a major problem given her medical needs. We are temporarily relying on the help of others. This fundraiser will serve to aid her continuing medical expenses, and allow Deborah and Matt to purchase a reliable used vehicle to accommodate her treatments and for Matt to support her. Lastly, the money will also go to final expenses so her wishes can be fulfilled in that regard.

All of this weighs heavily on her mind as she battles. We have a chance to help her get out of her depression and possibly win the fight against these terrible cancers. At the very least, we can give her more time with less constant stress of the financial struggles.

Those of you who know Deborah would agree that she spent her entire life giving to others. She has always wanted to first make others happy before she ever thought of herself, often going out of her way to do so. She is a beautiful soul and has touched so many.

Thank you so much for your consideration, and for your love and support for a tremendous woman who has freely given so much to her friends and community her whole life.
