Our beautiful mother Jeannette has been silently and courageously battling Breast Cancer for the past 3 years. Unfortunately, we have recently learned the cancer has begun to spread and is now considered Stage 4 and life-threatening. Her treatment options have become limited, but through an incredible stream of miracles she has been lead to a private Cancer facility in Arizona. She is a perfect candidate to receive their highly qualified help, and we all feel very strongly that this path has lead her to this facility for a very important reason. The doctors are confident that if we can get her there, they can save her life.
Very few people are even aware of what our mom has dealt with over the past few years, because you will NEVER hear her complain. Apart from constant treatments paired with her own day to day determination to build up her immune system naturally, she is also the sole provider in her home and caretaker to our highly special needs baby brother. Her body has put up an incredible fight with the resources she could manage over the past few years, but it is now time to give everything she has over to God’s healing power along with this incredible cancer treatment facility she has been lead to, as soon as possible.
Jeannette, along with the support of her loving husband of 35 years Mike, are ready to take this leap of faith. They will be uprooting their lives for the next 3 months at least. Leaving their home to stay in a temporary space in Arizona, walking away from a 13 year career at Provo Rehab and Nursing, and leaving their Downs Syndrome son in the hands of other caretakers along with their other children and grandchildren.
We know that our sweet mom and Yia Yia is unbelievably strong. We have faith in our Father in Heaven’s healing power and know that He still has much for Jeannette to accomplish on this earth. As she begins this new journey, we as a family humbly ask for your support in any way it can be given. Financial donations to help ease this extremely high-cost burden of treatment would obviously be so appreciated. But we could also use prayers, words of encouragement, and sharing of Jeannette’s story to help get the word out. We love you all, and look forward to the day that we can put all of this behind us with our healthy mom, wife, sister, aunt and Yia Yia back!
