Default GoFundMe for Calgary teen who needs surgery in U.S.

I don't use social media other than online forums, so thought I'd share this here. The Herald article and gofundme page says it all.

Just my opinion, but probably better than slapping that super edgy, F*** Cancer sticker on your back window.

jesus christ.

i donated after reading this;

Quote:
Once diagnosed, Carolyn quickly started chemotherapy, unfortunately we were told she is no longer responding to that treatment. On May 22 2019, doctors attempted surgery to remove the tumor, but the surgery was aborted due to massive blood loss. Twenty-four hours later, Carolyn went back into surgery to remove the surgical packing and close her up, leaving the tumor behind. While on life support Carolyn awoke in the middle of the night, unable to speak, she signaled to her dad her desire to write something; the nurses provided a small white board and Carolyn slowly wrote: “Was it good?” Breaking down in tears, my husband had the torturous task of giving her the bad news: it wasn’t good, and the tumor was still inside her. Our brave little girl wrote back “Don’t worry dad it will be better next time!”
What a trooper this kid is.

Thanks for posting this. I didn't read the story in the paper this morning although I saw it.

Will be donating shortly. Poor girl. So hard for the family.
