Dwayne Higgs hasn't added a story.
A once vibrant and energetic daughter of the Spanish Wells, Eleuthera soil in The Bahamas, Lela Higgs (nee Pinder) spent most of her adult life in Nassau where she raised 3 children, working hard her entire life.
She spent a lot of her energy, time and resources helping
others, and putting smiles on people’s faces. Her humor and love of
life was evident to all she came in contact with. Not long after her
retirement, she moved back to her homeland and settled back into the
slow life of Spanish Wells.
Early in the summer of 2018, she started to have difficulty
walking and developed pains in her back. After mustering up the energy
and courage to get through two surgeries, a tumor was discovered near
her spine and a third surgery was required for reinforcement.
Unfortunately, the tumor could not be removed and as a result,
she has been receiving chemo and radiation treatments for the past
four weeks, with one more week of treatment to go.
Despite all efforts, assistance and moral support from many
friends and those close to the family, the numerous medical bills have
become overwhelming, thus the need to reach out for help.
Medical costs, surgeries and costs associated with home care and
treatment are high and still ongoing. We know that everyone knows how
special their mother is and we want to be able to continue to give her
the ongoing care and comfort she deserves.
We appreciate any assistance you can give, however small, that
will help us to pay off the outstanding medical bills as she continues
on her road to recovery.
