Amanda Halterman’s family is undergoing a bad time as they face more sad news. Her cousin’s sister, Katie, is still undergoing treatment for cancer in the hospital. To support her and her family, Amanda and her boyfriend, Leonard, started a GoFundMe campaign on behalf of Katie. Some fans were curious if the fundraiser was legitimate, but others said it was not for scamming.

Amanda revealed that their GoFundMe might not have reached the goal amount but received many donations. They have collected almost $2K toward their $14K target. The reality star told fans that she is grateful to whoever has contributed to the cause. Still, she asked them to pray for Katie and lift their family up.

It’s undoubtedly clear to fans that Katie’s cancer journey

 just began as she must be taking chemotherapy. She and her family might have a long path down there because cancer is the toughest. Nevertheless, fans encouraged Amanda to have faith in God to come out of the trouble soon. They prayed for Katie, sending love and support her way.

A fan shared their painful story with Amanda in her post’s comment, telling her mom passed away in 2012 with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Another one commented that they suffered from stage 4 colon cancer for three years. Unfortunately, the person is still not cancer-free since she has it in her liver now.
