Hope Sousie's Bucket List!
Donation protected
Hi everyone,
As most of you know, my little sister, Hope, went into the hospital on Monday June 29th with lower back pain and jaundice. Unfortunately, on Tuesday night, doctors discovered a large, 10cm tumor on her liver.
Further testing went on to reveal that Hope has Hepatocellular Carcinoma – a cancer linked to a life-saving heart procedure called the Fontan that she had as a child. Even further testing revealed the cancer has spread to her lungs and is indeed Stage 4.
Options are slim: 6 months without any treatment
1-3 years with treatment
There is no chemotherapy available for this type of cancer, only pills she can take to, as she would say, “prolong the inevitable”. Hope has opted for the pills and we are all praying they do their job and give Hope that fighting chance. We are confident they will… she just has a few other hurdles to overcome in the meantime. She’s a fighter.
Hope told us all that she is determined to make a “Bucket List” and to check off every item possible during her time left on this Earth with us.
Her idea gave me the idea to create this GoFundMe, as I was feeling particularly helpless but thought this was possibly ONE way I, WE, could help.
So, I’ve created this GoFundMe to help Hope achieve any/all of the bucket list items her heart desires and then some. My family and I would deeply appreciate any contribution you can comfortably make… even just $1 would get her that disgusting sour candy she loves so much. Hah. If we have any left over funds, I will happily be donating them to charity - Hence why the "cap" is so high. This is my promise to you; to Hope.
This is the most helpless feeling in the world.
This is the only way I could think to help.
We love you all SO much, and we thank you for absolutely everything. The support you have all shown just in these past few days has been incredible.
We will be strong for Hope and we will get through this together.
All our love,
Danielle Cline (Sousie) and the ENTIRE Sousie/Robertson Family
