* *A go fund me had been made and read "Heather had surgery on Friday, May 27 to remove a brain tumor discovered after a car wreck she was in. The tumor was successfully removed and Heather has been in NCCU at St. Mary's. Finally this past Friday we were told that final pathology results were in. Heather has been diagnosed with Glioma carcinoma, high grade.
At this time, Heather is still unresponsive.
We have been asked about flowers, food donations, monetary donations, etc. If the Lord lays it on your heart to help, please donate funds. These funds will pay for food for the girls, medical care for Heather, and household expenses. Most of all we ask for your thoughts and prayers during this unexpected emergency as we try to do what's best for Heather, Cadence, Charlese and Gwen.
God bless you all and thank you all so very much from the bottom of our hearts and souls."
