Finding comfort after an uncommon journey

The journey from California to Kathy’s House is neither short nor common, but for Steve & Lilian Gong of Stockton, it was worth it.

“I had a mass on my pancreas,” Lilian explains. “My mass was so big, my primary doctor does not recommend any physician in our area.”

Steve spent just under a month at Kathy’s House while Lilian received treatment at Froedtert Hospital. Lilian was released from the hospital after a few weeks, but during her hospital stay, Steve made three meal-time visits to his wife each day. Two adult children visited as well.

We’re grateful we could help to keep Lilian’s family close while she received world-class care in Wisconsin.
