Help Hope Live for Emily Nussdorfer's successful treatment and recovery from Ovarian Cancer

Family and friends of Emily Nussdorfer are raising money for the nonprofit Help Hope Live to fund uninsured medical expenses associated with a Catastrophic Illness. Emily was recently diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer, Stage IIIC, and has just started rounds of chemotherapy. She will eventually need surgery to remove the cancer completely. She is a self-employed EMDR/IFS trauma therapist, mindfulness practitioner, and dance-movement therapist, and derives so much joy in helping people recover from psychological trauma using these modalities. She is currently writing a children’s book about a young girl’s mythic journey to save her village, and how she learns to face her fears and grow her courage and strength with the help of magical allies and guides she is led to on the way. Emily has chosen to fundraise with Help Hope Live in part because donations are tax deductible for contributors and will only be used to cover medical and related expenses. Because she is self-employed, her insurance does not cover much of the costs involved in this cancer treatment until she meets a very large out of pocket maximum, and she has high copays. This in turn makes it difficult for her to cover medical expenses and life expenses while going through this, as she will need to work reduced hours, and won’t be able to work at all during the month of surgery and recovery. The money raised willl help Emily to make it through this challenging period when she will need financial support. There are so many ways to give to Emily’s campaign through this program, with corporate or workplace matching as one wonderfully suppportive option, and all are tax deductible.

I am overwhelmed at the generosity of all of you who have contributed and so uplifted by your warm wishes and care and kindness to me! I just want you all to know I have a wonderful clinical team supporting me, and a wonderful nutritional oncologist helping me with diet and supplements to mitigate the effects of chemo, and an amazing group of friends helping me out with meals and chores! I feel a level of love I have never felt before in my life, and it is so wonderful to hear from loved ones and friends from so many different parts of my life! I am so grateful to you all! It is so very precious your care and encouragement and love!The chemo is doing its job bringing down the fluid build up in my abdomen and shrinking the tumor. My prognosis is very good according to my clinical team. Your financial support for me right now in this moment, is enabling me to pay for my supplements and unexpected copays that the hospital is requiring before certain procedures that I could not have afforded. I am still working, but my caseload is reduced right now, so I do not have as much income coming in.It takes my breath away, how much you are all helping! I could not do this healing journey without you! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Lots of Love and hugs to you all! 💕Emily
