Help Sharron Stay
Beside Stephanie

A direct support fund to help Sharron with living expenses while Stephanie receives care.


Their story

Sharron and her family have been walking through one heartbreaking season after another.

Just weeks after losing her beloved husband, Sharron learned that her daughter, Stephanie, has been diagnosed with Stage III adenocarcinoma involving her liver bile ducts and gallbladder. The family has been told that Stephanie's cancer is not curable.

Right now, their focus is on the treatments available, making each day count, and surrounding Stephanie with love, hope, and the very best care possible.

This page was created to help Sharron with the practical costs of staying close to her daughter during this devastating time.

Food. Lodging. Gas. Parking. Household bills. The everyday expenses that do not stop when a family is grieving, caregiving, traveling, waiting, and trying to hold each other through the unimaginable.

No mother should have to choose between being near her daughter and paying for food, housing, transportation, or basic needs.


How your support helps

Every gift goes directly to living expenses.

Gifts made through this page go directly to Sharron. Here is what they may help cover.
