My name is Michelle Sheard and I am one of Christy McIntosh’s sisters.
I have set up this crowd-funding page to raise funds to pay for some practical assistance for Christy and her family while she undergoes 6 months of chemotherapy.
Christy was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma over a year ago. She is about to begin chemo as the symptoms of the tumour behind her eye are increasing.
Christy is a young mum with 4 kids aged between 5 and 12. She lives with her husband Nathan on a farm in the Victorian Alps, with only Nathan’s elderly parents nearby for support.
It’s going to be a tough 6 months for Christy as she deals with the treatment and its nasty side effects. While I can’t be there in person to help her, I wanted to find a practical way to provide support. Christy can use money raised to pay for some assistance at home with cleaning and meals. And for medical costs, travel and other expenses that arise during her period of chemo.
Thanks in advance for your support. Any contributions will be greatly appreciated.
Michelle
