This is Starla. Starla is married to Ryan. They have 3 little boys named Cash, Austin and Braxton. A typical family who is giving everything they can just to make it right now. Recently, Starla has been diagnosed with Choriocarcinoma cancer and it has spread to her lungs. Choriocarcinoma cancer is a malignant, fast-growing tumor that develops from trophoblastic cells (cells that help an embryo attach to the uterus and help form the placenta). Almost all choriocarcinomas form in the uterus after fertilization of an egg by a sperm, but a small number form in a testis or an ovary. Choriocarcinomas spreads through the blood to other organs, especially the lungs. Starla has great odds for recovery however she has no insurance to cover the procedures that she needs done.

The surgery that Starla received today wasn't the hysterectomy as she was expecting. Instead the procedure she received today was to get her ready for her chemo treatment. Keep her in your prayers!

Starla wanted to donate her hair to Locks of Love. She gave them a call and they informed her that they would only except her hair if it was shaved before chemo treatment had begun. So Starla being the giving person that she is said goodbye the her Locks that she loved so much a little early so she could help others in need.

I know it is a crazy and tough economic time for us all but I am sure there are a lot of us who are not going through what Starlas family is going through right now. I’m sure that many of you have been tried and tested and other have helped you out in your time of need, so hopefully we can help Starlas family out as well. Your donation of any amount would be greatly appreciated! Thanks you for your love and prayers!

An account has been set for Starla and her family at Wells Fargo Bank. All money donated will go directly to them for her treatment.

The account number is 7244310251

The name on the account is Suzette Jensen and Starla Hirschi. Suzette had to open the account in her name because Starla couldn't "physically" do it herself. Thank you!

  2. I don't know you, but I will keep you in my prayers. I am currently going through a lot of medical issues and on top of that I just lost my father to a heart attack. It has strengthened my faith by relying on the Lord and the atonement. I will pray for your comfort at this time and that you will have many many years with your family! :) love, Shantay DaBell
