Help Terra Tackle Cancer

Donation protected
Terra Tolman is a hard working mother of 7. An in-home caregiver to her Grandmother and Grandfather. About to be married for the first time, already a wonderful mother and stepmother working to provide for her family. Hello my name Thomas Setterlund, Terra's fiance. Over the last 5 years i have seen this woman give more of herself to others than anyone I have ever met. Always putting her family ahead of her self. Terra Is the type of woman whose heart is big enough for the world. She rarely asks for things she needs or wants. Up until recently all was well with our family.   Then one night last month she had a bad pain in her side. The next day she went to urgent Care and was told she has a kidney stone and was sent home. A month later she starting experiencing this pain again so I took her to the E.R. After alot of tests the Dr said, " I think you have cancer," And told us to follow up with A Urologist. Two days later Terra was forced to go back to the E.R. With excruciating pain. Again alot of tests, Her Kidney started to infarct (die) and they couldn't figure out why. After 3 days the hospital the Dr. said it could possibly be a hundred things, But to follow up with a Urologist. And so we did where they found a Tumor in her kidney and diagnosed her with Urothelial Carcinoma. They said it is aggressive and would need to start Chemotherapy immediately and when Chemo is done Terra will Have to have her kidney removed. And in the midst of all this we Have postponed the wedding and are still trying to provide for our family       WE NEED YOUR HELP..  Due to the nature of the chemo Terra will not be able to work and I myself have been forced to only part-time work so we will be unable to make ends meet and the bills keep coming. I am raising money to help ease the burden of what Terra about to go through with Chemo and Surgery. All contributions will go Directly towards paying rent, utilities, food, transportation so that Terra can concentrate on surviving cancer.  I would like to take a minute to express my utmost gratitude to everyone who has and will become a part of our lives.
