She is responsible for the cost of the Chemo, $950.00 US each treatment as well as other medsThere is no way she can cover these costs alone, and although she is feeling positive, and wants to keep working, there will be a time when she will be unable to so that she may rest and healI am asking on her behalf for help to alleviate the stress of having to cover her treatments.Shelly resides in Georgetown Texas where she has lived for over 20 years raising her 3 boys, (pictured) and has a job she loves.
