Michelles Road to Recovery

Donation protected
In late 2018, Michelle began having problems with numbness on the right side of her body. Over the next few months, symptoms progressed and in June of 2019 an MRI revealed a Menigomia brain tumor on her brain stem. The next morning she went down to Madison with her 2 sons to meet with the neurosurgeon at UW Madison and surgery was scheduled for June 11 at 5am. Surgery successfully removed 100% of the tumor and weekly at-home physical therapy is helping to regain use of the right side of her body. She is slowly recovering but has a ways to go until she can go back to work full time as an RN for Hospice Care and be able to take care of her family.

Michelle is a very positive and determined woman and will recover with the positive energy and support of loved ones by her side. 

Please consider helping Michelle and her family cover her medical bills, mortgage, and other necessities needed during this difficult time.  Michelle is a single mother of two boys. She does not have short term disability and bills are adding up fast. No donation is too small, we greatly appreciate any help you can give!

We ask for anything that can help us just start to get a hold of financials as we try to keep life as normal as possible.
