Last week, Laura received news every woman fears…she was diagnosed with DCIS, a form of breast cancer. She will be undergoing a bilateral mastectomy on June 8th. Laura is currently a stay at home mom and Laura, being Laura, is worried about the strain this will have on her family. Specifically the impact this will have on the little girls (Mila & Ezra) for the 4-6 weeks that she is unable to lift or pull while recovering. They have decided to enroll the girls in a summer camp that will keep them occupied, busy, and engaged so Laura can focus on rest and recovery during the day. That being said, this is an enormous cost that they weren’t expecting. I have been the recipient of Laura’s love and care, just as I’m sure so many others have been as well. If you know her, you also know how hard it is to ask for help, so I’m doing the asking for her and Will.☺️ We have set up this site as a way for us to support her and her family. Recovery will be a tough road and the 4-6 weeks that follow surgery will be difficult. If you feel led please consider supporting Laura and the family in the following ways: 1-Prayer!! 2-Contributing to the cost of outside child care. Or 3-Providing meals or gift cards for the family to use. Message from Laura: This has come as quite a shock but will not rock the faith and hope our family has in Jesus. He is our rock. Isaiah 43. We are confident that Laura I be Cancer free and will continue to live like Jesus calls me. As Laura always says- she has been given the best of the best when it comes to family and friends! Feel free to contact me with any questions, 402-578-6436 🖤 Vanessa
