Latest update as of Aug 23, 2024

  • This update is straight from Kat. I copy and pasted what she has uploaded on her facebook page. Again Thank You to all who have shared this and who have donated.

    “ Molecular mapping of my cancer that the insurance company has been waiting for finally came back yesterday. The chemo regimen that the doctor suggested IS in fact the correct one. The doctors office has once again submitted a request for chemo.

    On a more somber note, I had an MRI yesterday of my brain to make sure cancer had not reached there yet. Unfortunately it IS in my brain already. I have to restart radiation but this time it will target my brain.

    So a bit of good news to go with bad news. Chemo won’t start until after the course of radiation is over and I won’t know when that will start until I speak to the radiation doc next Friday.“


About this fundraiser

This fundraiser is to help Kat along her cancer journey. This unfortunately is her 3rd round with cancer. In 2019 Kat had to have a lobectomy  done on her right lung due to lung cancer. In 2022 she had to have a lobectomy on her left lung for another round of lung cancer. Here we are in 2024 and she is now battling very bravely with spine cancer and hip cancer. She has cancer in her spine and outside of it , as well as cancer in her right hip. 
I am asking for help to cover every day bills  as well as unexpected medical bills. And lastly to help her cover her final expenses if needed. 
Kat has been out of work from November 2023 due to severe pain and this cancer diagnosis. She has used up everything she had in her saving and her last tax refund on every day bills( rent,electricity,ect..). 
Kat has spent many years in the rescue world , saving countless lives of animals. She dedicated over 13 years to saving animals from shelters/owner surrendered from being euthanized. She worked along side of other rescues and a wonderful program called pilots and paws and was saving hundreds of animals a year. 
I am asking for a hand up for her while she is now battling a courageous journey of survival. 
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
