Help amazing mother of 5 kick Cancer's Butt!

Donation protected
In June 2018, Natalie was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma just weeks after losing her Mother to Mesothelioma. As if that wasn't sad enough, her very dear Grandmother was diagnosed with Esophageal Cancer just days before she received her own diagnosis. She started her battle with Chemo in July and lost her Grandmother towards the end of Summer. She was now faced with the horror of having Cancer, going through Chemo, attempting to work to financially help her family, and raising 5 kids with her Husband all without her two most important women in her life by her side to see her through. She went the last months of 2018 pushing through like a trooper and always had that amazing smile on her face. Thanks to her Husband, her Mother in law, her friends, her coworkers, and everybody else who donated and helped her and her family through that horrible time.. she made it through to the other side! In December 2018, Natalie was cleared of all Cancer and was so dang happy. We all were! July 2019: Natalie had to do her 6 month scan (7 months because she postponed) She and her family had just moved into their new beautiful home and everything was GREAT. Then came the bad news. The Cancer is back. A complete relapse. This time, because she "flunked" chemo the first round, she has to do stemcell treatment. She has to be away from her family for days on end, in the hospital all to ramp up for a complete take over and re-do of her bone marrow. October 2019: She has done 3 rounds of Chemo and is having to drive from Citrus County to Shands Hospital in Gainesvillle to do so. She stays in the hospital for days without her children. Her husband has to take off or try to work from home most days to be with the kids. She can no longer work and it's all on him. She just got word they're going to start the long and grueling process of the transplant on the 28th. This family will need a lot of help as Natalie will have to be in the hospital for possibly ip to weeks and her husband will have to be with her during some of the procedures and will be missing work. She won't be done with this process until late December (Right before Christmas) and will still have to continue maintenance Chemo for 2 years if all goes well. They're Children are between the ages of 2 (twins) and 12. Even if you have $5 to give, it will help this family! Please share at the very least!! Please also share this with every social media outlet you have!  Thank you kindly to everyone who donates and shares!  XOXOXO -Jamie
