Campaign Story
Hello!
As many of you know, Kathryn Youngman has faced and won two battles of cancer along with an extensive double hip replacement that occurred five years ago, which causes constant pain in her hips. To ease the 24/7 pain, she receives injections in Eugene every three months, but it is never enough as the ease produced by the shots is short-lived. Her first cancer was Hodgkins, the treatment caused her to become sterile, but invitro (from her sister) allowed her to carry and give birth to twins! Sadly, along with her hips and other consequences of having cancer twice, she has recently been diagnosed with breast cancer. She just had surgery (11/24) to remove the cancer and some lymph nodes, to determine the state of the affected lymph nodes (malignant/benign), and to determine the next step in her battle. The cost of Kathryn's scans (from her 2014 cancer) leave her paying $1,400 (after insurance) each time one is required, a minimum of four times a year. You can imagine the sum of those bills with future surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, as well as the incidental costs of transportation, copays, etc. bills. She works three jobs to meet the demands of her past cancer bills, suppporting her family's needs and putting the needs of others first as she usually does. We really want to put her first! We are asking if you would be willing to donate to Mrs. Youngman's gogetfunding page with any amount of money that you are able to contribute. PLEASE share the fundraising link with others! She deserves so much and we want to remind her humble self how much she is appreciated, looked up to, and loved. We are so excited to raise and give her these funds.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so very much.
