Sandy's Emergency Treatment

Donation protected

Hello,
My name is Erica. I am one of the three children that Sandy stakes claim to. We are asking for any kind of help in this very difficult time for our family. Six weeks ago while our Mother was here in AK for work, (Drummer for over 50 years), she experienced some medical issues. She was admitted to the hospital and told to follow up for what they originally believed to Multiple Sclerosis. My Mother being from Hawaii went back to tie up a few loose ends and come back because she wouldn't be able to get the medical care she needed on the Big Island. She has since returned and had to via emergency once again be admitted to the hospital. They have officially ruled out Multiple Sclerosis and Lymphoma which in its own way was relieving. . . But know we are looking at this. She has a tumor in the center of her brain that is inoperable. This mass has grown six times the original size since the end of August. She is scheduled to have a brain biopsy by the end of this week to determine which type of cancer cells we are about to battle. We are asking for donations to help with medical bills (Her health insurance doesn’t cover out-of-state) and to get the family members that need to be here, here. She is in great spirits but things are moving VERY fast, her memories and vision are fading even faster. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you from my family to yours.
