Fundraiser for Woman Who is Battling Breast Cancer
San Diego, CA...As many of you know our dear friend Jackie was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer at the end of July. She has underwent a double mastectomy and is now going through her chemo treatment which will be followed with Radiation and a second surgery. She has the best emotional support system anyone could ever ask for. Her wonderful fiance Casey has been there for her every step of the way and her mom Joanne has been with her from day one. And I know all of us who love her continue to show our support daily in many different ways...
However in the world we live in there is a cost to everything. Each doctor's visit Jackie has to go to costs $45.00 out of pocket. And that's just the co-pay. Not to mention all the medical bills she has. So as you can all imagine that adds up quickly.
As if her condition wasn't enough for a new mom to deal with she just got news about her wonderful little man. When Maddox was born that doctor's noticed a high level of fluid. They felt at the time he would be ok as this is sometimes common in babies and have been monitoring his levels for the last 7 months. Unfortunately his levels have gotten increasingly higher which now means surgery. Little Maddox will have to undergo surgery in the near future to relive this problem, if he does not have the surgery he will lose his right kidney.
So with my version of Jackie's life written to all of you I ask for you help for her and her family. She is one of my oldest and dearest friends as I'm sure she is to all of you.
I would also like to mention that Jackie herself did not want to do this, she is a very independent person as we all know and doesn't want to come off asking anyone for help. But Joanne and i felt this was necessary as she is going though so much right now and could use any help even if it's just some encouraging words from the people that love her.
Thank you for all of your love & support.
