Fight

Janet Wojciechowski is an amazing woman. She's also my aunt.

She works tirelessly to support her friends and family in any way she can. She works incredibly hard. She owns her own business.

She's a health nut. She's a loving mother of two young women. She's a devoted wife, and a fiercely dedicated family member and friend. She fundraises. She donates. She gives.

She makes your problems her own and never stops trying to solve them. In fact, as one of many examples, she brought a buffet of organic food and a stepladder the day she came to help me paint my house so I could move in on time.

Fate can be cruel, even to the most selfless, loving and thoughtful people. My aunt was just diagnosed with stage IIIc ovarian cancer. Right now, she needs our help in return for all she has done for others. She's prepared for battle in what will certainly prove to be a long and expensive fight.

She's going to win, but needs our help. She and her husband Jon are longtime small business owners. The deductible on their health insurance is painfully high and rewound to zero on January 1st, to be paid out-of-pocket all over again.

While surgeries and some types of chemotherapy are covered once the deductible is met, alternative chemotherapies, treatments, supplements and healthy organic food remain out-of-pocket expenses, as well.

Moreover, (despite what she'll tell you) Janet will need to cut back her work hours to focus on getting well. Her family relies on her monthly income. Lying awake at night worrying about more bills and less income is not an option, and certainly not what we want for her during the coming year.

Thank you for reading. Please give what you can. Every immensely-appreciated dollar goes directly to Janet for her care and recovery.
