Hello Friends,  

My name is Jamie. I’m a mother of three beautiful children. Brodi is 15, London is 14 and Haydn is 12. Haydn lives with his dad in a different state. I do not get to see him often enough because I am no longer able to travel by myself. And I never know how I am going to feel. It is devastating because, the days I have left with them are important ones. They are at the age where each one needs their mama. They unfortunately do not have as much time as others get with their mom so I am trying to prepare for the inevitable. I have been struggling with female reproductive organs such as endometriosis along with many stomach issues my entire life,  so when I had back pain in July of this year I didn’t think anything of it other than that it was super painful. My family encouraged me to go to the ER. I didn’t think that was necessary because what are they going to do for back pain? I went in on a Thursday evening. I explained to the physician and staff what I had been experiencing. Based on the information I gave them they decided to do an CT scan. The results came back and I knew something was wrong when the doctor sat down and explained what she found. They had found a large mass sitting behind my cervix and rectum. She had never seen one that large.  She told me that I was going to be transported by ambulance to Cleveland Clinics Main campus. I didn’t even realize what was going on. I was told I was going to the OBGYN floor and that I was going to have emergency surgery. When I arrived, I realized I was on the oncology floor. Still not worried. The following morning my doctor ( Dr. Michner who looks exactly like Gru) came in with his “minions” and they broke the news to me that I definitely had cancer they just didn’t know how bad it was or  where it all was. They didn’t know if it was going to be under for a short time or long. If they opened me up and they were unable to get everything they were going to close me up and start chemo and then do surgery. My test results were showing the worst. I didn’t know it at the time but my medical team didn’t know if I was going to make it and if I did I would not live long. ( I try to stay positive even in the worst situations I am glad they didn’t show their feelings.) They ran more tests and a week later I went under. I was told I would have a drain tube, colostomy port and bag, possible tubes everywhere and I came out with none of that. I was in surgery for over 6 hours. After laying on a metal table in one position for that long I was in the worst pain. When I got out of recovery mom came in so excited that I didn’t have all the scary things we both assumed I would have so we thought it went better than what we thought. We were sadly mistaken. The cancer had spread everywhere inside my abdomen. I had a full hysterectomy, part of my colon, large intestine, bladder, liver and spleen were all scraped or removed. The doctor said that when he opened me up it looked like someone shook a handful of rice and threw it on me. He got all that he could and sent it all to lab. Lab results came back and I have Stage 3C Serous Ovarian cancer. I have a low grade ovarian cancer that only 10 percent of ovarian cancer cases come back as. There is no cure. Chemo doesn't take. They took my case to the board of physicians at Cleveland Clinic Main campus and decided that trying hormone therapy as they would with breast cancer patients to slow the cells from growing was the best option. I go back in January to see what my cancer markers say and find out what the next steps are. I am blessed to have a lot of love and emotional support. But they can’t do it all… Unfortunately, my family and I, like so many others, are struggling. Disability only goes so far. I’m only 38 so I didn’t make a ton of $ up to this point. We are in dire need of help. Donations towards gas to get to and from my appointments, premade meals so I don’t have to cook for a family of 4, $ towards travel to go see my son. But more than anything else need prayers and words of encouragement. ❤️ I don’t know how I am blessed to have the best doctors, medicine, and family. I can live my life with my babies as long as I can and not have to be sick or miss out on too many life events until I pass. Because my cancer is terminal, I want to be able to give my kids more happy times than worried or sad times. We appreciate all of you.

This e-gift card allows access to all Walmart products. Useful for anyone anywhere.
Why We Love This Gift: We love this gift because it offers access to things like pharmacies when a family you love is in need. Many aspects of surgical care are not covered by insurance - these expenses can add up. This is especially true when a family is on a fixed income. Items like canes, walkers, surgical gauze, and more - can all be underwritten in this way. (Bonus: It respects, as well, the privacy and dignity of the person you love). Supplements that are doctor recommended (always check) can also be covered in this manner. Walmart also just has everything so for someone who has lost their job it enables them to get what they need without spelling it all out. People are proud.
What To Express in Your Card: You'd do exactly the same. xo

Why We Love This Gift: Honestly, sometimes, permission to take a trip can be hard. Equally, sometimes expensive travel is necessary. One of the editors of Give InKind met a recently widowed woman who "confessed" (her word) to wanting to escape after the death of her husband following a long illness. She felt she could not justify the expense of a trip. Another family we have met along the way needed a place to stay while visiting a medical specialist far away from their home. People who lose their homes to natural disasters or as a result of financial strain need a place to stay. Lodging is an expensive component to any unforeseen circumstance. Remember to ask: where are you staying?
What To Say In Your Card: I know that the expense of travel is significant. I hope you don't mind my trying to offset some of it.
