I am a Navy Veteran who married another Navy Veteran. Together we are raising a family of daughters who also want to serve our community.
After a 4 year battle with stage 4 breast cancer that almost took my life more than once, I was well enough to support my husband in following his dream of becoming a Police Officer in New Smyrna Beach.
With everything going as planned I became a Patient Care Tech working in the Progressive Care Unit at Advent Health New Smyrna. We were living the dream.
October 2nd as I was working I had a stroke, was coded and sent to the ED of my own hospital. Since then I have learned that I am having uncontrolled seizures every hour. Some are minor and some are full-blown petite mal seizures. My husband has tried his hardest to stay by my side and care for me but as we all know the bills never stop coming.
I hate to have to ask for help, but our simple life is more than the Police department pay can handle. I am hopeful that by the end of the year my doctors will figure out what is happening and get me back to work. But I am terrified that I may be put on permanent disability. I'm a worker and don't know where to turn to cover the gap between now and then.
My husband's brother in arms has afforded us the opportunity to turn to all of you for help. We do so with heavy hearts and a face full of tears. We don't know what the future looks like but we need your help to get there.
As we pay the endless doctor bills and co-pays to keep moving forward with treatment we keep falling further behind and I don't want my husband worried about finances, I want his mind clear to protect the community he swore to protect and be vigilant and keep himself and his shift mates safe.
Our goal for this campaign is just to survive this journey and be able to continue to live. Please find it in your heart to help our blue family and help in any way. We promise to do the same when we are out of our storm. This to shall pass, we believe this with all our heart.
Thank you in advance from the bottom of our hearts.

This was the quite between the two storms of breast cancer and now whatever this stroke/ seizure thing is. My two best friends.
The sweetest person on the fourth floor at Advent Health NSB. And when we get to have lunch together its heavenly.
Even through the storm cancer brought on, she almost always always smiled. Shes so tough and I know she is going to make it through this. Today she has a little energy and want to go walk.
This is the hell she went through and thought she beat...turns out that red devil triggered something that has cause these constant seizures... That are documented by eeg and video surveillance.
