Karen's Going to Kick Cancer's Butt

We received the news a few weeks ago that we could never prepare for.  Our mom & the strongest woman we know, Karen, is battling the early stages of Breast Cancer & stage IV Lung Cancer. It has made itself home throughout her body, but she’s ready to put up the fight.

The Mejia girls are no strangers to strength. In 2004 our Dad passed away, and it was then that we knew we had to be strong for each other. My mom did everything in her power to make sure that we were taken care of and were able to accomplish anything we wanted to, and continues to do so. Karen is a wonderful friend, daughter, sister and more, but her true calling was being our mother. She has always taken care of everyone in her life, and now it’s our turn to do the same for her. We will continue to stand strong together and embrace everyone’s love and support.

This is going to be a struggle not only emotionally but financially as well. There will be many expenses that arise, and to take the stress off of my mom, we wanted to set this up for her. Karen works a full-time job, but will have to take a lot of time off to attend her treatments. Our youngest sister Kindel is still finishing up her last year in college, and so we will have to continue supporting her financially until the end. Unfortunately the medical bills, utility bills, and all other bills will continue to come.

Thank you for thinking of Karen and our family. Please send prayers and well wishes for her as she begins her fight! Any donation big or small helps, and of course if you cannot, just keep her in your thoughts and prayers.
