My name is Kathleen, and I am facing one of the most difficult challenges of my life: a recent diagnosis of invasive malignant melanoma. As I prepare for surgery on June 30th, I am reaching out for support to help cover the overwhelming costs associated with my treatment and recovery. Two surgeons will be involved in my care—a melanoma specialist to remove the cancer and affected lymph nodes, and a plastic surgeon to help minimize facial damage from the procedure. The financial strain of these surgeries, along with the possibility of additional immunotherapy, has been a constant source of worry, making it hard to focus on healing and staying optimistic.
Beyond the medical procedures themselves, there are many other expenses adding to my stress. I need to travel frequently to Easton and Bethlehem for appointments, which means long drives, gas costs, and hotel stays—especially for the surgery, which requires two nights away from home. I am also uncertain how immunotherapy might affect my ability to work in the coming months. While I am blessed with a supportive husband and a few wonderful friends and family members, the financial burden is more than we can manage alone.
Removing the weight of these financial worries would allow me to focus on my recovery and maintain hope for a positive outcome. I will be eternally grateful to anyone who can help, whether through donations or prayers. Your support will make a real difference in my journey toward healing and peace of mind.
