Rallying Around Lisa: Help Her Demolish Breast Cancer

Hi, I’m Amy, and I am writing this with a full heart and deep hope that you’ll take a moment to read Lisa’s story.

Lisa isn’t just my friend—she is family in every way that matters. She’s the kind of person who shows up when you’re sick, remembers your birthday without reminders, and somehow makes you laugh even when life feels heavy. She has been my rock more times than I can count. Now, she needs us.

A few months ago, Lisa was diagnosed with breast cancer. It was the kind of news that knocks the wind out of you. But Lisa—true to her nature—faced it head-on with courage, grace, and that quiet strength that has always been her signature.

Lisa underwent surgery in August and is now going through chemotherapy, with radiation treatments upcoming. The treatments are grueling and exhausting, and the side effects are brutal, causing her to face increasing financial pressure. She has had to reduce her work hours since her job is physically demanding, even though she needs this time to recover. Despite her health challenges, bills like medical expenses, mortgage, groceries, utilities, and other everyday costs keep piling up. She works as much as she can and remains constantly worried about her finances.

Lisa is undoubtedly a Bad-Ass lady and a strong warrior. Her courage should inspire all of us to be brave in our challenges. But do not be fooled. She has moments when the strength and courage leave her, and she is fragile. I have been staying with Lisa, so I get to see firsthand how this fight is taking its toll on her.

How You Can Help

We’re raising $10,000.00 to help ease the burden. Every dollar will go directly toward:

• Covering her treatment and medications

• Getting her safely to and from appointments

• Keeping her fridge full and her lights on

• Giving her space to heal without the constant stress of money

• Keeping a roof over her head

Lisa would never ask for help herself, she’s always been the giver. But I know she needs it now, and I know how powerful community can be. If you’ve ever been touched by Lisa’s kindness, or if her story moves you, please consider donating. I am asking you to please help Lisa in any way you can. A donation, no matter the amount, would help relieve some of the burden from her broad shoulders. Even if you cannot donate monetarily, you can still make an incredible contribution by sharing Lisa’s story on your social media pages. Facebook, Instagram, X, Messenger, and by sending a text. And we will never turn down prayers and healing thoughts. The more we can get Lisa’s story seen, the more successful we will be in supporting this remarkable woman.

You will see in the pictures I will share that Lisa is a vibrant, energetic (when she is healthy), talented, and empathetic person. I will continually be adding pictures of Lisa as she navigates this difficult journey. I will also be adding photos that depict the irrepressible Lisa, who is known and loved deeply by family and friends.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. Anything you can do to help Lisa in this battle would be immensely appreciated.

Let’s surround Lisa with the love she’s given so freely to others. Let’s remind her she’s not alone in this fight.

With love and gratitude, Amy

LISA'S JOURNEY IN PICTURES

Lisa the Day She Met With the Cancer Team to

Discuss Her Treatment Plan

A brave front on a very emotional and scary day. Even though Lisa had a good idea about what this discussion would entail, hearing the words chemotherapy and radiation. Having the side effects explained and realizing they are talking about you is very devastating. I will explain the Wonder Woman theme in a later picture.

CHEMO SUCKS
