About this fundraiser

Melmo’s life changed a year ago when she was officially diagnosed with Stage 4 Uveal Melanoma. She is terminal. We’ve sought numerous opinions for her and finally have found a doctor in St. Louis (4+ hours away from where we live) that is getting her into a study. This fundraiser is to help with medical costs of traveling there etc. She will have to go every 21 days for treatment. As many of you know I stay home with our 2 three year olds and my husband (Melmo’s son), works as our main provider. This is a lot for us and though we are happy to do it, we appreciate anything you can donate during this difficult period. She will need this the rest of her life as long as it works to stop progression of cancer. There is no cure for the specific type she has.
