Caryn Elefante has been battling stage four metastatic breast cancer for several years, undergoing immunotherapy, oral chemotherapy and intravenous chemotherapy, according to a GoFundMe for the family.
The family will need to hire nurses to assist with her care as her condition worsens and Joe, her husband, wants to take time off from his teaching job to be with Caryn and their 12-year-old daughter, Cate.
The fundraiser is meant to assist the family, as Joe's family leave insurance is capped.
As of Tuesday, Jan. 23, more than $172,000 has been donated, including $50,000 from several anonymous donors.
