This is my girlfriend, Stacy Gibson. I am setting up this fundraiser account for her because she has been dealing with both medical and financial hardships recently. She was diagnosed with melanoma skin cancer 3 months ago and has had to undergo surgery and numerous doctor appointments in Gainesville, FL. Although the first surgery and biopsy are complete, she still has another operation lined up in the future for a skin graft to help with the healing process. She also has had to deal with a wound vacuum attached to the surgery site. All this has affected her ability to work and caused a severe financial strain. She hasn’t been able to work for over a month and will possibly be out of work for another few months while healing. She’s a mother of 3, including my child, whom she’s accepted into her family as her own.
