Texas A&M Tri Delt Told She Has Rare Form Of Cancer, Needs Our Help
Update #1: Shelby is blowing past her goal and still going. She even got some support from Hesiman-winning and former A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel.
Good dude that Johnny. Let’s keep this thing going. Medical bills for cancer are not cheap. Let’s break that 100 mark.
End update #1
Shelby Smith is a freshman at Texas A&M University. Shelby went through rush and decided to join Delta Delta Delta. On her bid day, however, her mom informed her that she has a rare form of cancer that she must now fight.
From GoFundMe:
On my Bid Day, my mother told me that I have a rare cancer called olfactory neuroblastoma. While I know that this is all part of God’s greater plan for his glory, I can’t imagine to begin the stress that this must be on my parents. I made this gofundme in order to raise money so that this battle might not be as difficult as it would be trying to fight it on our own.
Man, that’s shitty news to hear, especially during what’s supposed to be such an exciting time in your life. Great attitude, though. But now, she needs our help so the medical bills won’t be a burden on her family. Her goal is $50K, but I think we can blow past that number.

My mom is actually going through cancer a second time so I know how hard this is going to be for her and her family. Prayers up from North Texas. And fuck cancer.

My brothers have been my rock through my families hard times and I know her sisters will be with her too.

8 years ago at 12:53 pmProof that Greek life really is so much more than partying. Just because we do that too doesn’t mean we can’t support each other.
