An earth shattering diagnosis for her family.

Sot: smith-"i will never forget my dad and my husband, the two men in the room, were balling their eyes out and i'm just sitting there, like listening.

(my doctor) is like, 'okay, just give us eight months to a year out of your life to get you back to normal, but you're going to be okay.'

I was like, "i'm going to be okay?

Okay!

Well then let's get started!

What do i need to do, what's next?

Let's go."

Sot: archdekin- "i mean, you can see they are hustling back there."

It's amazing to be able to help out and do that."

Sot: archdekin- "hopefully we can add a little bit of relief, add a little bit of comfort for them that they don't have to worry about a certain bill.

I think that's awesome that we can provide that."
