Denise Diedrich Celebration of Support

Denise is a 51 yr old wife of Dave, mother of two Travis and Amanda Belongea, step mother to three
Heather, Brianna and Nick and grandmother of three Kingston, Lincoln and Aaliyah. Denise is a dedicated
employee at Community Benefit Tree. She cares deeply for the families and the community she serves. Denise had been experiencing very heavy menstrual cycles which sometimes came every two weeks. When she went to see her doctor they found a very large mass in her uterus. Her doctor was very concerned that it could be cancerous and due to the extreme blood loss he referred her to a specialist at Aurora. A robotic hysterectomy with oophorectomy was done. She was told if there was any blood loss during the surgery she would need to
have a blood transfusion due to her low blood count. Unfortunately she had no health insurance at the time to cover it. As you can imagine having this kind of surgery is very expensive and her family is struggling with multiple expensive medical bills. The financial strain is overwhelming and a great burden on her family. This
has been very hard and humbling for her as normally she is the one helping others in this situation. Your assistance would be Greatly appreciated in giving her Hope!
