Edward Devine
Fundraiser for Melanie
Hello everyone! Thank you for taking the time to read this. I am in need of help. My beloved life partner, Melanie, has received a devastating diagnosis. She had a painful headache for weeks that would not go away. The pain was so debilitating she had to stop working as a home health care worker. We spent hours going to and from every kind of doctor's appointment. When we finally were able to get an MRI, the worst was confirmed. Melanie has terminal brain cancer: Glioblastoma.
The last month and a half have been a roller coaster of emotions. Each day brings new challenges and struggles. We have been working closely with doctors to figure out the best course of treatment to extend and increase quality of life. However, with a recent trip to the emergency department we have discovered her condition has deteriorated quicker than expected. As of yesterday, she has been placed in hospice care. We thought we had months left with Melanie but we now are facing days and maybe weeks.
I am asking for whatever amount you can donate to provide end of life care, cover funeral expenses and transporting her to Arkansas to be buried next to her parents.
