SEBRING, Fla.—Sebring residents have a unique opportunity to provide life-saving support to a local cancer survivor this November through a community-wide fundraiser called the “Shillings for Survival” Coin Drop.
The effort is dedicated to helping 48-year-old Jennifer French, who is not only a cancer survivor but also battling multiple complex health challenges.
The Coin Drop fundraiser will take place across several Sebring locations during the last two weekends of November: November 21–23 and November 28–30.
Jennifer’s Ongoing Battle
Jennifer French is a determined fighter facing a formidable set of diagnoses, including relapsing multiple sclerosis, COPD, and chronic kidney disease, in addition to living as a survivor of stage 3 Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and larynx cancer.
While Jennifer strives to remain positive, her conditions require extensive out-of-pocket medical costs that are not covered by insurance. She requires the assistance of a full-time caregiving companion to manage daily tasks like preparing meals, taking medication, and attending doctor appointments—an essential need that insurance does not cover.
To secure a brighter future and ensure she receives necessary support, Jennifer partnered with the trusted national medical fundraising nonprofit, Help Hope Live.
