Barbara Audibert was a fighter. Not in an obvious, “I’m tough as nails”, showy sort of way. No, her demeanor was sweet and caring, always devoted to her family and trying to take care of them as best she could. She had a passion for life that extended to a love of live music, reading, traveling, and her family. But when she was diagnosed with breast cancer, Barbara’s determination came to the forefront and she fought. She beat cancer down so bad that cancer spent a year having to regroup to come back stronger. And even though it spread throughout her body the second time, Barbara was determined to fight as much as she could in order to be able to spend as much time as she could with her loved ones. Through the pain and sickness that comes with the different type of treatments that she needed, to the frustration and disappointment that came from having to constantly wrestle with insurance companies, Barbara fought because she wanted to live. After four more years of fighting, Barbara passed away on January 11th, 2021, a month shy of her 65th birthday.
She and her husband struggled with the costs that piled up from her healthcare treatments. Barbara knew that there were plenty of people in a similar situation, that may not be able to have access to or afford the care that could help them win their battles. She asked that instead of giving flowers in remembrance of her, that people donate so that others fighting against cancer and struggling to pay for their care could have a chance at the medical treatments they need. We want to take that a step further - we want to raise money to be able to write a check to the specific arm of Morton Plant Mease Healthcare Foundation that helps cover the costs of care for patients who would otherwise be unable to afford treatment.
That’s why we started this fundraiser. And because Barbara would dream big, that’s what we’re doing too (although if you ever had any experience with the costs associated with cancer treatments, you know that this number is a drop in the bucket in comparison). We’ll keep fighting to try and help as many people as we can in the way we think Barbara would have wanted. We hope that you consider donating and sharing. As we reach our goal, we’ll post updates, images, and video as we’re able.
