Treasured Time is currently fundraising for eight families.
The organization’s most recent wish is being granted to Jodi Chevarella, 44, of Derby.
She was diagnosed in 2010 with Stage 2 Invasive Breast Cancer, and underwent chemotherapy, radiation and 11 surgeries in a year to remove the cancer and perform reconstruction surgeries. Her cancer recently resurfaced and she has been diagnosed with Stage 4, Her2 Metastatic Breast Cancer.
This past year she received radiation again and is currently undergoing chemotherapy and hormone treatment. Chevarella is continuing to fight and keep positive during this difficult and uncertain time. She wants the opportunity to be able to create a lasting memory with her family by going on a cruise with her loving husband, Dave, and their four children: Anna, 16, David, 14, Isabelle, 12 and Genna, 10.
They have never been on a cruise and this is something she has always wanted to do. Treasured Time will be granting Jodi’s wish in the summer of 2016.
