Friends Rallying To Help Vernon Resident In 2nd Battle With Cancer

VERNON, CT — The community is rallying to assist a resident battling cancer for the second time.

Residents Dee Green and Sandy Miceli have set up a Go-Fund-Me account to help out Kecie Combs of Vernon.

Here is their appeal:

We are Dee Green and Sandy Miceli and we are trying to help our amazing friend, Kecie Combs, one of the most positive and friendliest people we know.

Kecie is a kind, caring and loving mom, wife and grandma. She’s been with her husband, Paul, for 22 years . She raised two sons and now has eleven grandchildren , seven of which are living in their home. Tough times for her son and she and Paul welcomed them in.

Kecie battled Cervical cancer 23 years ago and came through, after life altering surgery and treatments.

Now, Kecie has been diagnosed with cancer again, this time she’s had a rectal/vaginal fistula and rectal cancer. She now has a new Ostomy and faces more surgeries.

All of this has put a significant financial burden on the family.

Medical expenses are overwhelming and the person that has helped so many others, strangers included with love and selflessness needs our help.

To know Kecie is to love her, the sweet friend, wife, mom, grandma and the neighborhood home where kids would gather to play, and she’d provide snacks, drinks, whatever they needed…. Band aids included.

Please help us help our friend. She is very deserving of your donations and we appreciate anything you’re able to give.

Funds will go directly to Kecie.

As of Friday afternoon, a total of $2,055 has been raised on a goal of $5,000. See the Go-Fund-Me page here.
