I am starting this fundraiser for my cousin, Nicole.

If you know Nicole, you know a woman who has worked her entire life without ever asking for a single thing in return. She is the person who stepped up to care for our grandmother when no one else had the time. She is the person who has consistently put in the hours, survived the hardest of circumstances, and never complained about the hand she was dealt.

Now, Nicole is facing the fight of her life.

She has been diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer that is spreading rapidly. For those who know her spirit, it won’t come as a surprise that she wants to face this on her own terms. After a lifetime of doing what was expected and serving others, Nicole has made the decision to seek alternative treatment. A feat impossible if Medicaid is her only option. Let's give her what she deserves, not what she has.

The reality is that alternative treatments come with a HUGE price tag. Hope4Cancer is about $50,000

Nicole hasn’t had the chance to travel or see the world—her life has been defined by labor and loyalty to her family. This is the only thing she has ever asked for. She deserves the chance to try a different way, to find hope in a place that respects her choices, and to feel the support of a community after years of being the one providing it.

Every dollar raised will go directly to Nicole to cover:

* Medical facility fees and alternative treatment costs.

* Travel and safe transport.

* Essential living expenses while she is away from work.

Nicole has spent 50 years showing up for people. Now, it’s our turn to show up for her.

Whether you can donate $5 or $500, or simply share this link, you are helping a woman who truly deserves one last win.

Thank you for seeing her, for believing in her, and for helping us give her this chance
