Help Tami Ray & Family Fight Cancer

Donation protected
Family and Friends,

We are emergently calling for your help in supporting the Ray Family as they are burdened with the discovery that Tami Ray (wife of Danny Ray, mother of Abbie (age 22), Zach (age 18), Tessa (age 6), and grandmother to AJ (age 2)) has advanced cervical cancer. 

On Tuesday, November 13th, 2018, Tami presented to Rockford, IL emergency room with abdominal pain and vomiting. Her ovaries had burst and fluid accumulated in her belly causing intense pain. She had multiple tumors. She was transferred to UW Carbone Cancer Center in Madison, WI where she underwent emergency abdominal surgery. During this procedure, the surgeon found that the cancer had spread to her intestines, liver, and diaphragm.

Tami will be undergoing extensive treatments to try to put the cancer into remission, including radiation and chemotherapy. Tami is working with a nationally-renowned gynecological oncology surgeon in Madison, WI, so this is where she will be undergoing her chemotherapy. Starting in January 2019, every 3 weeks, she will be traveling to Madison, WI to receive a long day's session of chemotherapy. She will receive 6 rounds of chemotherapy. 

Here is where we need YOU.

We are asking you to please donate to support her and her family.

Your monetary donation will go towards...
1. Decreasing their out-of-pocket costs for Tami's highly expensive medical bills (cost of doctor visits, emergency room visit, emergency surgery, hospital stay, extensive imaging, radiation, chemotherapy, etc.).
2. Funding Tami and her family in traveling to Madison, WI every 3 weeks for chemotherapy.
3. Supporting Tami and her family in the regular needs, tasks, and responsibilities that so easily become difficult when one is burdened with illness, such as meals, cleaning, childcare, transportation, etc.

All donations will go directly to Danny & Tami.

Please seriously consider donating to support Tami and her family in this very dire time of need. Your donation - however big or small - will make a significant difference, especially during this Holiday season.

We also ask for prayer power and positive thoughts; that her doctors guide her therapy well; that she not fall ill with the side effects of her treatments; that the medications work to put this cancer into remission; and that the Almighty Lord fill her and her family with the Holy Spirit and bring peace and comfort during this extremely challenging season.

P.S. If anyone has any specific questions, or is wanting to assist in some other way (such as sending gift cards), please feel free to email me, Hanna Gonzalez (Tami’s niece), or Greg Largent (Tami’s dad).

Thank you for your time and consideration.

DFWLY (Don’t Forget We Love You)

Cheers,
