Help Erica Battle Breast Cancer

Donation protected
Thank you for taking the time to read about our fundraising campaign for our dear friend Erica Croxford. At the age of 36, Erica has been diagnosed with Invasive Ductal Carcinoma, a type of breast cancer. Erica and her family were closing on the purchase of their forever home, hosting family and friends for a party, and celebrating Thanksgiving. When suddenly, all of this celebrating was overshadowed by worry and fear. Just a couple of weeks ago Erica found that something was not right with her health. Testing, imaging, and painful biopsies soon followed and have lead to this devastating diagnosis, which she received just this past Friday.

She will meet with specialists and oncologists this week to finalize an aggressive treatment plan, which will start as soon as possible with the placement of a medi port, surgery, and chemotherapy. Erica is facing several months of treatment and will likely be out of work for this time. With all that she is facing she anticipates countless medical bills, childcare costs, regular household finances, mortgage payments, heating bills, groceries, and travel expenses. Financial concerns that no one or their family should have to worry about while they undergo this challenge.

If you have the honor to know and love Erica, then you should consider yourself blessed beyond measure. Erica is by far one of the most generous people in the entire world. She doesn't hesitate for a moment to give of herself when she knows of someone in need. She is the hardest working and most dedicated mother to her pride and joy, sweet little Mackenzie. Erica is an RN and takes such pride in her special work. From caring for the most critically ill and littlest patients in the NICU at Maine Medical Center, to the new mommies and their babies on the mother-baby unit. She is one of the kindest, funniest, and most thoughtful people you will ever meet. Always ready with a funny joke, her positive outlook, a good story, and her quick wit, she will keep you laughing, especially if you're having a bad day. She is the most wonderful friend, a loving partner to Jeff, a daughter, a sister, and a wonderful coworker. If you are lucky enough to count Erica as one of your people, then you know you have someone very special in your corner.

Please join us as we encircle our sweet friend in love, light and prayers. She needs us more than ever right now as she begins her tremendous battle. In just 24 hours Erica's warriors have begun rallying and the outpouring of love has been indescribable! We know that with this continued support, Erica will be ready to put up a fight and win!! Erica has always taken care of everyone around her, and it is time for us to take care of her. She and her family need our help and we humbly ask for your donation to this fundraiser in her honor. On behalf of Erica and her family, we truly thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
