GoFundMe Started for Naugatuck Woman Fighting MS, Brain Tumor

NAUGATUCK, CT - A GoFundMe page has just been started for a Naugatuck woman and her family who has been battling a series of life threatening diseases for a number of years.

The GoFundMe page, https://www.gofundme.com/victory-over-defeatshellystrong, tells her story.

“This story is about STRENGTH, HOPE and LIFE!! My name is Jamaris and the story I’m sharing with you belongs to my brother Willie and his family, in particular his wife. Michelle has been battling RRMS (relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis) since 2012 and fybromalgia since 2016.

“A few months into the new year of 2018, doctors inform Shelly she has a brain tumor that has attached itself to her spinal cord. She would have to go for chemo and radiation treatments every other week and double chemo treatments the other two weeks. All the while still going through the pain of fibromyalgia and MS flare ups. We believe that God performs Miracles and Heals!

“We remain prayer-filled and hope-filled that He will do wonders in Shelly’s life and her testimony will be used to share the love that Jesus Christ has for us all! Our family humbly asks for your help!! We would greatly appreciate any donation you feel in your heart to give.

“These donations are to help lessen the burden of medical treatment costs, medication costs and days possibly weeks that my brother has taken off/will need to take off work without pay to either be with their 3 children at home or accompany Shelly to the hospital. From the very bottom of my heart I am eternally grateful to those that have already privately made donations and have offered words of encouragement and prayers for Michelle, Willie and their children Janay, Jazlyn and (baby) Willie.”
