Mari went into her new reality with the Lord on July 16th. 💔 Any and all current donations will be used to cover transportation, funeral costs and schooling for the children.
____________________________________________________________________________
Mari received a Stage 4 breast cancer diagnosis in mid-June and is planning to begin her treatment plan at LifeWorks Wellness Center in Clearwater, Florida on July 10th. This initial phase will require approximately three months of treatment- with combined costs for medical care, housing, and transportation totaling around $100,000.
While Matt and Mari are prepared to handle these expenses and anticipate support from Samaritan Ministries, they would be deeply grateful for any additional assistance. They feel a need to be completely transparent about how donations are used, and are committed to updating this page regularly as new needs arise throughout Mari’s treatment journey.
CURRENT NEEDS
- initial 12 week treatment plan $67,000 plus $15k in low dose chemo
- housing is at $3k month (first month of 3 is covered)
- they’re working on purchasing a car for transport $5200+taxes and fees
- recliner from Costco $500
- groceries, meals, etc
Thank you 🫶🏻 Please keep her in your prayers, for pain management specifically at the moment and for a healing miracle in Jesus’ name. Mari is longing for a miracle and we are standing with her to be completely healed 🙌🏼
