Help Support Vicki (Pet-A-Groom) and Her Husband Dave Hatcher During This Devastating Time

Our family is asking for help for someone who has spent the last 13 years putting everyone else first.

Vicki was recently diagnosed with small cell cancer. Doctors have found a large, inoperable tumor in her chest, and the cancer has unfortunately spread to her skull. She is currently in the ICU, where her medical team is working to get her bloodwork and condition under control.

At this time, we don’t know what the coming days will bring. Her medical team are working to make her comfortable and there is a strong possibility that she may not be able to return home.

For the past 13 years, Vicki has been the sole caregiver for my brother, who is disabled and requires dialysis three times a week. She has devoted herself to caring for him and making sure he has everything he needs, while also running her own small business (Pet-A-Groom) as a dog groomer in Burlington, Wis.

She has always been the person who takes care of everyone else. Now, she is the one who needs someone to take care of her.

Unfortunately, they do not have medical insurance, and the financial burden of this unexpected diagnosis is overwhelming. Donations will help with medical expenses, household expenses, and when the time comes funeral and final expenses.

We know that not everyone is in a position to donate, and we completely understand. If you can’t contribute financially, please consider sharing this fundraiser, keeping Vicki and my brother Dave in your thoughts and prayers.

Our family is hoping to give Vicki the same love and support she has given to everyone around her for so many years.

Thank you for taking the time to read her story, for caring about our family, and for anything you are able to do to help.

With love and gratitude,

Kim Forman (Hatcher)
