A Difficult Ask –Support for Colleen’s Breast Cancer Journey

This is not an easy post to write, and if I’m being honest, asking for help is something I’ve never been comfortable with. But life has a way of humbling us, and right now, I find myself in a place where I could truly use some support.

As some of you may know, I was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. The past few months have been overwhelming—filled with doctor’s appointments, tests, and an emotional rollercoaster I never expected to be on. While I am doing everything I can to stay strong and focus on healing, the reality of mounting medical bills is becoming a burden I can’t ignore.

Between treatments, surgeries, and time away from work, the financial strain is something I hadn’t fully prepared for. Insurance helps, but as anyone who has faced a serious illness knows, there are so many unexpected costs that quickly add up. The last thing I want is for financial stress to take away from my ability to focus on getting better.

I know times are tough for everyone, and I don’t take this ask lightly. If you’re in a position to help, whether through a donation or simply by sharing this, I would be forever grateful. More than anything, I appreciate your love, and encouragement as I navigate through this.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and for any support—big or small—you are able to give. It means more than I can put into words.

With love and gratitude, Colleen
