Everyone keeps offering help during this time for me and to let them know what they can do, there is so much going on but the basic needs of funds to help is really the biggest need. If you can donate at all everything is appreciated!

For those that don't know, I was diagnosed with rectal cancer in December 2022. Since then I have gone through radiation, months of chemotherapy treatments and most recently on July 12 had surgery to remove the tumor. I ended up staying in the hospital for 13 days. The expenses to my family for assisting me and visiting were much higher than we could have anticipated.

It's been a very hard year so far and I appreciate all the help that everyone's provided especially for those that donated to help with my dogs, and everyone who initially helped with the food list. Unfortunately, after surgery, I'm not done yet. I have a colostomy bag which I'll need to get weekly supplies for and my dietary needs have definitely changed. I am overwhelmed with the needs and I don't know how else to ask for assistance. For anyone who said they want to help, I feel this is the best way.

Thank you for your prayers, thoughts, and vibes as I continue to go through this process over the next several months.
