Kristen Fighting Cancer

Kristen Shinebarger is an artistic, humorous and exuberant 16 years old. She enjoys hanging out with friends, spending time with her animals and driving her parents crazy, not much different than any other 16 years old. Kristen’s young life took a turn 8 years ago when she first got diagnosed with Ewing Sarcoma. Since then, Kristen has endured over 16 surgeries, countless chemotherapy and radiation treatments, and an amputation of her lower leg. Treatments have brought her to Ohio, Boston, Texas and even Japan in hopes to rid her body of the disease. 

Kristen is surrounded by her loving parents, Marc, and Shelly who has been by her side through it all. Every appointment or scan, they are there. Kristen’s brother, Eric is always there to lighten the mood and of course mess with Kristen as older brother do. 

Kristen’s diagnosis has taken a turn for the worst in the past couple weeks, as the disease progresses throughout her body. With the holidays fast approaching, I urge your help in providing a small peace of mind during this difficult time. Providing financial support will allow the family to focus on Kristen’s treatment. All donations will go directly to the Shinebarger family to help pay for medical bills, treatments, as well as other expenses that may incur during the holidays. 

Even a small donation could make a world of difference during this difficult time. With the holidays coming, this family deserves every prayer and donation possible. 

Thank you for your kindness and generosity during this difficult time. 

If you cannot donate, please share. Every donation and share can help.
