MUSHROOMHEAD Singer’s Wife Diagnosed With Stage 3 Colon Cancer; Fundraising Site Launched
April 8, 2015, 9 years ago
Mushroomhead singer Jeff Hatrix's wife Stacy has been diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer. She started chemotherapy today and the band has organized a Gofundme.com fundraiser to help the Hatrix family.
Says the site: “While this diagnosis is devastating for anyone who receives it, for Stacy, it's even more so. She is young and newly married to Jeff Hatrix. The band has an extensive touring schedule across the United States lined up for 2015. This is Jeff's source of income to support his family.
Stacy is only 29 years old and starts chemotherapy today. Her husband Jeff will have to stop touring several times to help care and support her. He will also have significant lost wages. Stacy was in the process of working a full time job and obtaining her Master's Degree in Wildlife Biology. Now she will need to halt her work and studies causing additional financial concerns.
This is an overwhelming financial burden that has suddenly happened. Stacy won't be able to go back to work for a long time and will have up to a year or more of lost wages. In addition, she will have many bills, co-pays, and special foods that she must purchase. These are items that won't be covered by medical insurance including considerable travel expenses. These costs will be extensive for her and her family.”
