As you all know, Melisa has been battling cancer for over 5 years. She has been in the hospital now since March 11, 2025. She could have been released from the hospital a couple of weeks ago but asked Tim to have the airducts cleaned before she came home. She has trouble breathing and needs clean air. During the cleaning of the ducts they discovered a massive amount of black mold! They had to immediately tear out all the duct work and replace with new, as well as replace the central air unit. This resulted in an unexpected expense of roughly $25,000!!!

Melisa has been my friend since the first grade. I had the pleasure of visiting her in the hospital a couple of weeks ago. It was wonderful to see my dear friend but it broke my heart to hear this story. She has been such a strong fighter and has stayed positive even through all these years battling cancer. This is just one more hardship she and Tim have to figure out how to fight their way through. I felt compelled to help them in some way.

I'm asking anyone who can, to please donate and help try and relieve some of this financial burden Melisa and Tim have unexpectedly had to take on. Any amount regardless how small will help. Melisa would do anything in the world for anyone. I wish I had $25,000 to give myself but I don't so that's why I'm asking for your help.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. I would like to keep this account open until August 1, 2025 and then give whatever funds are there at that time to Melisa & Tim.

Thank you in advance for your support.
