Plenty of people receive bad news every day, but how many of those people are expecting the changes that will happen because of that news? On Friday, May 1st, 2015, my "auntie" Cheyloh Eveland was diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer. Cheyloh is a mother to six beautiful children and an amazing wife to a very supportive husband. Walking into the oncologist office on Friday morning, Cheyloh had no idea what she would be told. Add that to the fact that her daughter was turning six that day, the mood was anything but pleasant. When Cheyloh was told that she had a very aggressive form of breast cancer and that chemo would have to begin immediately, her life was turned upside down. All because one piece of bad news.
As someone who knows Cheyloh and someone who has seen other people battle this disease, I know that it is completely possible for her to win her fight against cancer. Even so, the Eveland family is going to need various assistance and support as they make this journey and fight this fight. Please consider supporting Cheyloh Eveland in one (or more) of three ways.
1. Cheyloh's Helping Hands -
My Cancer Circle is a service that helps caregivers experience the strength found in numbers. Anyone can volunteer to become a part of this circle and participate in delivering meals, babysitting, cleaning, shopping, and other related activities in order to help alleviate a burden for Cheyloh as she is going through extensive chemo therapy. To become part of Cheyloh's Helping Hands, please contact me personally and I will guide you in the right direction.
2. GoFundMe -
GoFundMe is a fundraiser online, designed to allow anyone to make a monetary donation to families and individuals in need. The money raised for Cheyloh will be used for medical and living expenses and will give Cheyloh's family peace of mind that they desperately need at this time. If you would like to make a donation of any amount, please visit www.gofundme.com/pinkforcheyloh. You can choose to make an anonymous donation or you can include your name and a short note of encouragement, whichever you are more comfortable with.
3. Prayer -
Definitely the greatest form of help, prayer is a powerful thing and is greatly appreciated by the Eveland family! If you are living out of town and cannot assist with Cheyloh's Helping Hands, or you aren't in a position to give monetarily, PLEASE take the time to pray for Cheyloh as often as you can. As a family who firmly believes in prayer, the Eveland's and those working to assist them, are grateful for every prayer uttered, by any who are considerate enough to offer them.
Thank you so much to all of those who have put in the time to fight alongside of Cheyloh and her family, thank you to those who have yet to help but will, and thank you to God Who has given us such a beautiful woman who has blessed many, and Who will preform a perfect work in her life for His glory. May God be glorified and the Eveland's be blessed and assisted in this fight!
AN UPDATE AS OF 10-27-2015: Cheyloh is in remission!! After several months with battling Triple Negative Breast Cancer, Cheyloh has been found to be cancer free. Unfortunately, there is still a very high likelihood that her cancer will return (80% for two years), so prayers are still greatly needed. Cheyloh will also have surgeries done, so please be in prayer for those as well.
