Help JudyLynn Fight Cancer and Heal

Donation protected
My friend JudyLynn has been a nurse for over 30 years. Her entire life has been spent helping the elderly, and special needs children. Since 2002, she's traveled from Michigan to Ohio to take care of her elderly parents, and, a paralyzed dad. During that time her 4 other siblings gave little or no help.  In 2004 when her father passed away, her mom was moved to Michigan to be closer to her kids. Even though she was 50 miles away, JudyLynn drove every week to take care of her mother while her brother (only 5 miles away) did not. In 2013  her mom suffered many strokes, with  one of them paralyzing her. Even though JudyLynn was a trained nurse and took excellent care of her mother, her siblings secretly moved their mother to a location somewhere in Arizona, without JudyLynn knowing or even a discussion. To make matters worse, her siblings kept their mother hidden away for 19 months until just 2 weeks before her death.  Only at that time did they twll JudyLynn where their mother was. They only allowed her to spend 2 days with her mom before she passed away.

The pain from this deliberate exclusion caused JudyLynn a great deal of stress, hurt, pain and anxiety. She endured horrific slander while her siblings greedily took everything their mother owned, leaving JudyLynn nothing but memories. While in the midst of this trauma, she started to have a flashing "light" in her right eye. She thought it was degeneration, but it was not. After many tests it was determined she had a choroidal malignant melanoma on her right eye. Because cancer does not run in her family or in past generations, she believes it was brought on by this horrific stress she endured from her siblings.


In July 2017 She had "plaque therapy" done in, where a radiation capsule is put on the back of the eye to try to radiate the tumor. She had to have a second round done April 23, 2018. The tumor has shrunk .50 mm in depth, yet has grown 3 mm in size and impedes her vision in the right eye. As I write this, JudyLynn is completely broke, terrified and stressed out. Having to go through this with no family has been frightening. This is how I came up with the idea of raising some funds to help ease her burden from loss of work. She is way behind in her bills and may lose her home. I would love to have my friend be able to not worry about where money is coming from for just a little while, just long enough so she can heal and know that there are people out there who actually care about her.  I know she would be so grateful for any help afforded to her.
