Hi everyone! Thank you for considering donating to Corey’s Go Fund Me Campaign. Corey was diagnosed about a month ago with a very aggressive breast cancer and 2 nodules in her right axila that came back positive for cancer. Corey is a young, vivacious, dedicated, big hearted, and kind person. As she was getting tests and meeting with doctors, she was also finishing her dissertation and preparing to graduate with her doctorate, which she did May 5th. Unfortunately, she had to move promptly into treatment (right after graduation), given how quickly and unexpectedly the cancer had grown.

Corey is approaching this process with faith, trust, gratitude, and love. To her, the cancer is a teacher and she’s more determined than ever to deeply learn self-love and to live it daily. She is most definitely keeping her spirits up, yet she will need your continued encouragement and support. 

We also need your help to raise money for Corey, as quickly as possible, since she has had to immediately reduce her work hours to 8 hrs/week max. 

Corey received her first round of chemotherapy on May 10th, and she will receive 15 more rounds over the next 20 weeks. The end of chemotherapy will be followed by 4 weeks of restoration to prepare her for surgery, which may vary between a lumpectomy to a double mastectomy with reconstruction.  Once the surgery takes place, Corey will require a 4-8 week post-op recovery period depending on the surgery, then 5-6 weeks of radiation therapy, and up to 10 years of integrative hormone treatments that started along with the chemo. We hope she will be able to return to her work fully after radiation.

During these 8-12 months of treatment and significantly reduced work hours, Corey will need financial assistance to pay her: mortgage, home/car insurance, private practice rent, health insurance policy, any medical and medicine bills not covered by insurance, phone bill, food, gasoline, utilities, credit card payments, etc. You can also help by donating airline miles to her mom, Claudia, as it’s getting expensive to fly regularly between CT and TN. Other ways to contribute can include: Kroeger, Publix, Walmart, Walgreens, or Whole Foods gift cards. Also, taking over some of her monthly payments, can be very helpful. A big and grateful shout out goes to her Aunt Linda for taking over her car payments!

Corey is an entrepreneur in the field of mental health counseling, especially: eating disorders, personality disorders, trauma, yoga therapy, and clinician supervision. She has given so much to help her clients, colleagues, and the mental health profession.  Additionally, her post-PhD plan was to begin volunteering in the arenas of public policy and advocacy, to help foster better access, greater compassion, and more effective treatment for those with mental health challenges. 

The funds you contribute to Corey’s healing process will be of great benefit and will allow Corey to fully concentrate on her recovery, and return next year to the path she was on before this life changing detour. Any and all help you can contribute is greatly welcomed. You can help in many ways...contributing financially, sharing this GOFUNDME campaign with people you know, or even contacting us to see if there is anything else she needs. 

Your time, donations, and re-posts are deeply appreciated. Thank you for loving Corey and supporting her through her healing journey! If you’d like to stay connected, up to date on her progress, or leave her a message, please visit Corey's Go Fund Me campaign as many time as you'd like, we will be sure to keep it current.


Deepest Gratitudes,

Corey’s Tribe (and Corey)
