                                                  Heathers Fight!!

It has been a trying time, a season of tears, pain and heartache for our family as we've endured heavy emotions watching our sister our daughter our mom and our best friend fight for her life. 
In 2012 Heather was diagnosed with colon cancer and underwent surgery, radiation and chemo -therapy.  She fought long and hard & went into remission for four years. 

However, her second battle with cancer came in 2016.  It has been a constant struggle as she has been going through chemo-therapy while trying to manage her pain now for 2 years.  Her most recent scan has revealed that there are still cancerous lesions on her liver that have grown in size. This news was very unexpected  and heartbreaking.   The chemo-therapy process has taken a great toll on her body, but we believe there is HOPE and we are standing on GOD's promises for her life.

In 2007-2008 and  2013-2014 Heather contributed many hours raising money for the American Cancer Society 'Relay for Life.'   In  2015 Heather won the "Women of the Year" award for raising $25,000.00 towards the Leukemia Lymphoma Society.  She is very passionate about both of these causes.

We are now reaching out for her to extend our heartfelt need.   We ask that you please help us to help her in this fight for her life.  With a lot of research we have found a facility that will give Heather the proper care that she needs. It is a place that will focus on her nutrition, tranquility, and peace of mind.  It is  an environment that she so desperately needs right now!    With your help, we can make that possible for her. Together we can give this gift to our sister, our daughter, our mom, and our friend.  Life is so precious and everyday is a gift. 

                             GOD Bless You & Thank You so much for your
                                            Love, Prayers, & Generosity,

                                       - Heathers Family & Dear Friends -

"For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
[JEREMIAH 29:11]
