Hello Everyone,

I'm Olivia, sister to an amazing woman named Martha D.  Around the end of December 2024, Marth was diagnosed with B-Cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma.  It is a painful, aggressive cancer in her lymph nodes, her neck, and her abdomen.  She is undergoing tests, scans, blood work, and biopsies to see if the cancer has spread to other areas of her body. She has had a chemo port placed, and once it is ready, the intense treatment plan will begin, including chemotherapy and nutritional healing therapies.

Martha is deeply loved and respected by all who know her. She is a practical, straightforward, open communicator who finds answers and creates solutions to meet everyone's needs. Martha naturally connects with everyone she meets and has a way of making each person feel valued. Throughout High School and Nursing Training, Martha advocated for her classmates just as she always does for her family.   As a nurse and a practitioner, kind and compassionate service to others has been her life's mission and goal. Thousands of people have been recipient of her knowledge, skill, and intuitive touch. Now, it's Martha's turn to be on the receiving side, and experience firsthand what it's like to be the patient, the sick one, the one in need.

Martha is covered--for a while--by insurance, with a $650 monthly premium, plus co-pays and percentages until her out-of-pocket max is met. Just in the first 20 days of January, she has paid out around $2000 and the insurance has covered $62,000! Coupled with lost wages and living expenses such as housing, travel, vehicle, etc, the financial burden is already overwhelming.  

Marth is brave and confident, and maintains a great sense of humor, especially medical humor. Her strength and positive energy ignite others even during her toughest times. We know she will face this challenge with determination and graciousness. For Martha, God is her strength and she knows He will guide her through this chapter of life.

We are asking for your kindness and generosity to help Martha D  financially through this tender time. Every contribution makes a difference. Even if now isn't a great time to contribute, the road to recovery is long and will continue month after month for this brave soul. *spotfund offers a recurring contribution option. Your support is very appreciated and lightens the load.

Please share this campaign with your friends, family, and community. Donations, prayers, and well wishes from everyone who knows and loves this beautiful person, as well as those who are moved by her story, are welcomed. 

Thank you!

Martha is midway through her courageous battle against cancer. She is continuing alternative and chemo therapies to combat the cancer and also the side effects of the chemo. The medical costs are staggering--even with some insurance coverage--and until a few weeks ago, she had been working a second job to make ends meet.

As she undergoes repeated chemo rounds, her health and stamina are decreasing; Her last round was very hard physically. Because of her immune system being under attack, she has tooth abscesses and jawbone loss. She needs root canals, a tooth extraction, and implants. In addition, she is dealing with shingles, causing deep pain and patches of cold sores on the skin over the nerves on her torso.

Our goal is to raise the funds to cover her housing costs (rent, utilities, telephone etc) for at least 6 months while she finishes up chemo, undergoes post-chemo testing, and plans for the next phase of her fight (which we hope doesn't include chemo!!) We want to to alleviate the stress surrounding housing and daily living costs, allowing Martha to heal faster. She still has a long road ahead.

For those unable to donate, please consider sharing this campaign to help pass the word along.

A very special thank you to all of you dear ones who have given and blessed.
