<div>My name is Kevin. I'm Diana's husband, and I've known these two women for nearly 40 years.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In all that time, I have never once seen Diana leave Candace's side. Not when they were raising their kids. Not when life got hard. And not now — not through this.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Last year, Candace was diagnosed with breast cancer. After a mastectomy, the full weight of what she was facing became clear: chemotherapy, then radiation five days a week, then immunotherapy. A long, grueling road. And recently, her hair has started falling out — which if you know Candace, you know how much that means to her.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>She is facing all of this from public housing, on government assistance, food stamps, and Medicare. She has spent her life on the bottom rung, and now she's fighting the hardest battle of that life with almost nothing in her pockets.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And Diana shows up. Every single session. She sits beside her, holds her up, and reminds her she is not alone. Diana has watched cancer with her own mother. She knows the fear, the exhaustion, the elation of overcoming the odds. She looked Candace in the eye and made her a promise:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>"You're not going anywhere without me being with you."
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>"I just want her alive,"so if she has to put a wig on, we're gonna put a wig on — and we're still gonna do our stuff."
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Their "stuff" includes Barbados. Every year, they make their way to the island — staying with family to keep costs down — and for a little while, the world slows down. Candace swims in the ocean. Diana watches the sea turtles. They laugh at the monkeys. It is their ritual, their joy, the thing they hold onto when everything else is hard. Diana has already told Candace: that trip is still happening.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On March 12th, their story reached nearly 9 million people on Instagram in a matter of hours. Strangers stopped scrolling. People cried. Because you don't see friendships like this every day.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now we're asking those 9 million people to show up.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our goal is simple: we want Candace to be comfortable. A safe, warm home where she can rest and heal — not public housing, not a waiting room, not a system that treats her like a number. We want her to have choices. To live with dignity. And to keep this friendship — this rare, extraordinary friendship — alive for as long as possible.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>No organization. No overhead. Just a woman who deserves better, and a best friend who has never once let her down.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If their story moved you, please give what you can. And share this page — it is just as powerful as a donation.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The money we raise will go toward Candace’s treatment, better housing, future bestie adventures, and breast cancer research.
</div>
