One year ago, I heard the words that changed my life forever: “You have cancer.”

In that moment, everything stopped. I wasn’t just thinking about myself. I was thinking about my children. Would I be here to watch them grow up? Would they remember me? No mother is ever prepared to face those thoughts.

I remember my doctors telling me to go home and hug my babies tighter that night… because the future was uncertain and scary. That moment will stay with me forever.

This past year has been the hardest year of my life. Cancer didn’t just affect my health. It turned my entire world upside down. I had to move back home just to make it through treatment and survive day to day. Losing that independence was incredibly hard, but I did what I had to do to keep fighting.

Since then, I’ve taken small but meaningful steps forward. I’ve been able to move back into my own home again, slowly rebuilding my life piece by piece while still battling this disease.

Along this journey, I also made the difficult decision to switch doctors so I could get the best care possible. Now, I travel to New Orleans for treatment doing whatever it takes to fight this with everything I have.

And through all of this… I finally received some good news.

I am cancer free in my breast.

Those words meant everything to me. But my fight isn’t over yet. The cancer is still in my liver, and I still have a long road ahead. More treatments, more travel, more uncertainty.

But I am not giving up.

I am a mother. I am a fighter. And I will beat this.

The emotional, physical, and financial toll of this journey has been overwhelming. Between medical bills, travel expenses, and trying to provide for my children, it has been incredibly difficult to keep up.

That’s why I am asking for help.

If you are able to donate, share, or even just keep me in your prayers, it truly means more than I can put into words. Every bit of support helps me continue this fight and stay strong for my babies.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story, for supporting me, and for standing with me during the hardest time of my life.

This is not the end of my story. I still have a fight ahead of me—but I fully believe I will come out on the other side of this.

And I will not stop fighting.
