Funeral expenses for former breast cancer survivor

Donation protected

My sister, Talena Kelly, was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2013. Over a 6 year period, she’s had 55 chemotherapy treatments, 37 radiation treatments, a mastectomy removing her right breast and 14 lymph nodes and was diagnosed with COPD (a common after effect from radiation and chemo) which burned her lung. In 2016, she celebrated her cancer being in remission for 3 years until a visit to the ER informed her it was back and had now spread to her bones.

After seeing specialists and various visits from hospitals, emergency rooms, and medical centers (some for months on end), Talena passed on Wednesday July 17, 2019. This has been a long, stressful and costly journey. Due to my sisters declining health, she was unable to keep up with bills among all other responsibilities outside of her health care. My family was informed that my sisters life insurance had lapsed on the day of her passing.

My family and I are raising money for her funeral and burial expenses. All donations are greatly appreciated.
