Marci, a mother of 3 young girls, was diagnosed at age 39. Her biggest fear and concern was for her children. She wanted her girls to live a normal life, but she also knew that her treatment was going to impact everyone–her husband, her friends, her children and especially herself.
She suffered a loss of income because of inability to work, and her family needed financial assistance in order to afford both basic necessities and her treatment.
When you have a loss of income and an enormous amount of medical bills, the kinds of support Gateway to Hope provides make such a difference.”
Gateway to Hope provided the financial assistance Marci needed, and also shared connections to resources to support her family while she went through treatment.
Marci wanted her girls to remember this journey as a time when their mother fought hard in the face of adversity, and won. Today, Marci is cancer free and back to work–and her girls enthusiastically remind her that she is strong, resilient, and thriving after cancer.
