Susan Needs A Lifesaving Stem Cell Transplant

Many of you are aware that Susan Flanders, a wife, mother and nana of 4 grandsons, is battling an aggressive T-Cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. As a longtime resident of Westminster, you may have seen Susan around McDaniel College where she works as a catering coordinator. Or if she isn’t at work, you can always find her at home taking care of her family and playing with her grandsons. Now it is our time to take care of her!

Since her diagnosis in September, Susan has received five doses of chemo. The William E. Kahlert Regional Cancer Center where Susan has been receiving her treatment has been wonderful. Susan has been persevering thru chemo by going to work as much as she can and striving to maintain her normal lifestyle. However, the chemo takes a lot out of her. Now she will be moving onto the University of Maryland in Baltimore to receive the stem cell transplant — her best hope for a return to good health.

With the support of family and friends, Susan remains steadfast in her hope for a complete recovery. Unfortunately, this will be very expensive. We are still waiting on the estimate for her medical bills, but the costs will include travel, living expenses while she is out of work and undergoing treatment, lifelong medications, and more. This presents a challenge that Susan and her family cannot meet alone.

To help with the financial burden of Susan’s uninsured expenses, a fundraising campaign in her honor has been established with Help Hope Live, a trusted nonprofit organization that has been providing community-based fundraising guidance to patients and their families for more than 30 years. All donations are tax deductible to the full extent allowed by law, are held by Help Hope Live, and are administered by Help Hope Live for transplant-related expenses only.

Thank you for your support, good wishes, and generosity.
