My Cancer Journey

Description: Hi all I’m Chantelle,

On Thursday, November 7th, 2024, at just 29 years old, I received the life-changing news that I have breast cancer. As a mother, wife, sister, and friend, this diagnosis has turned our world upside down.

Being the main caregiver for my five amazing children has always been my pride and joy. Now, I find myself in the position of needing care instead. It’s not an easy shift, but it’s one I must embrace to give myself the best chance at winning this fight.

While my husband and I do everything we can to provide for our family, the financial, emotional, and physical challenges of this journey are overwhelming. From chemotherapy to surgery, this will be a long and difficult road. I want to ensure my children still have as much normality as possible during this time—making precious memories, even if I can’t always be the one creating them.

This GoFundMe is to help ease the burden in the following ways:

• Childcare: Support for our children while my husband works or takes care of me.

• Holistic Treatments: Exploring additional therapies to complement my medical care.

• Family Activities: Ensuring my children have joyful experiences and cherished memories, even during this tough time.

• Day-to-Day Support: Covering unexpected expenses that arise as I navigate treatment.

I’ve always found it difficult to ask for help, but now I’m reaching out to our community, friends, and kind-hearted strangers. Every donation, no matter how small, will make a difference. If you’re unable to contribute financially, sharing my story would mean the world to me.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your love and support. Together, we can face this challenge head-on.

With gratitude,

Chan x
