I never thought I would be facing breast cancer, and I never imagined I’d be preparing for a double mastectomy and reconstruction. This surgery is necessary to save my life, but it also means I will be unable to work for a period of time. Losing my income during treatment and recovery puts me at risk of falling behind on even the most basic needs — medical costs, food, utilities, transportation, and everyday living expenses that don’t stop just because cancer shows up.
I’m doing everything I can to stay strong, but the truth is that this journey is overwhelming. Breast cancer brings not only fear and pain, but also financial strain that hits harder than most people realize. Even with insurance and assistance programs, so much is left uncovered:
- Post‑surgery medications
- Surgical drains, dressings, and medical supplies
- Follow‑up appointments and imaging
- Travel to and from treatment
- Regular monthly bills while I’m unable to work
This fundraiser is my lifeline. Your support — whether it’s a donation, a share, or a kind message — helps me stay stable and safe while I heal. It keeps a roof over my head, food in my home, and access to the medical care I need to recover from a double mastectomy and reconstruction. It gives me the chance to focus on healing instead of worrying about losing everything.
You may not know me personally, but if you feel moved to help, please know that your kindness will make a real and immediate difference in my life. You’ll be helping someone who is fighting hard, trying to stay hopeful, and doing everything possible to get through one of the hardest chapters she’s ever faced.
Thank you for reading my story. Thank you for caring. And thank you for giving me the chance to heal without fear.
