This fundraiser is for our niece, Fran (Toomey) Marianovich, the only daughter of our sister Beth (Iverson) Anderson. Fran is a beautiful, kind, thoughtful and vibrant 34-year-old woman who has always put others first. Her and her husband, Mark, love to cook, garden, and spend time outdoors with their dog Booger. Unfortunately, she recently received the challenging diagnosis of cervical cancer. This news has understandably turned her world upside down, leading to a whirlwind of medical appointments and difficult decisions.
Her medical team has recommended an aggressive course of chemotherapy and radiation, which will put her on the path to a full recovery. While Fran is determined to fight this battle with all her might, the financial burden of chemotherapy, radiation and related medical expenses is substantial. Even with insurance, the out-of-pocket costs—including co-pays, deductibles, and prescription medications—are quickly becoming overwhelming. The pain associated with the disease has left her unable to work for the last month and planned treatment will keep her from work for the next several months causing additional financial hardships.
We are reaching out to family, friends, community, and anyone who feels moved to help. Every donation, no matter the size, will directly contribute to covering her treatments, essential medications, and ongoing medical care. This support will allow her to focus solely on her healing and recovery without the added stress of mounting bills.
Whether or not you are able to donate, please consider sharing this campaign with your networks. Your kindness, thoughts, and prayers are deeply appreciated during this challenging time.
