Ace Marie - Single Mom of 2 Fighting Breast Cancer

Hello everyone,

My name is Frania and I am starting this fundraiser for my sweet, kind, beautiful, amazing, warm, and incredible dear friend, Ace Marie. This photo above is the most recent photo of Ace Marie and her two beautiful children. She is a single mother of two children who’s currently fighting stage 2 breast cancer. Though she no longer has a full set of hair, she's a beauty as always.

On November 5th of 2022, Ace Marie got diagnosed with Stage 2 HER2 positive Invasive Carcinoma. It is a very advanced form of cancer that has to be tackled immediately therefore, it's treated fairly aggressively upfront. Ace Marie has already started her chemotherapy and will continue to do so for the next 6 months having to undergo a bilateral mastectomy & adjunctive therapy all to help prevent cancer from spreading or even returning. On top of it all, this is not covered under her current insurance plan so you can only imagine that the medical bills started to add up quickly. Unfortunately, we can control the unforeseen, and it's devastating to know that.

Ace Marie is known by many friends and family as a great mother to her two beautiful children. That's one thing I admire most, I was immediately drawn to her when I first met her she's funny, well actually she's hilarious. I can never tell if it's me making her laugh or her making me laugh but I live for those moments. She's always had such a personable personality making it easy to connect with her. I love her accent, I mean who doesn't right and her laugh is contagious (seriously contagious) she has brought so much joy to my life. We've seen each other grow, and overcome challenges in life along with great accomplishments and the most beautiful part of it all is becoming mommies. Through her life and struggles, she has shown us so much resilience. Anything that has set her back, cause her stress or triggered difficult emotions has only put her three steps forward. She has so much will to overcome challenges with such grace. For that, I not only admire her and love her, but will do my best to always be here for my dear sweet Ace Marie. Most recently she battled and overcame some hardship in her life and boy did she shine right through it and rise back up. Ace started her career as a realtor and not too long after purchased her first family home ALL ON HER OWN for her and her children. A BIG CELEBRATION I would say for a single hard-working momma. It's honestly heartbreaking and beyond me why this would happen to someone as loving, and thoughtful as Ace, it is unconscionable. However, we are not here to make sense of cancer, we hate it, and we wish it didn't exist, F*** Cancer. Let's come together to help her fight this battle and live a happy and healthy life.

Any donations received will go towards Ace Marie's medical bills, home expenses, therapies, surgeries, tests, medication, and groceries for her and the children. We would like to thank everyone for your support and endless prayers for my dear friend Ace.

Here are some fun comments received from friends and family

“I met Ace almost 13 years ago and was quickly drawn to her Accent, beauty, and upbeat personality. She is always full of life and laughter. She is an amazing mother, sister, friend, and daughter who brings joy to the lives she encounters. I will always love and cherish our memories together and most importantly be supportive during her healing journey. I love you, Ace!”

“To know Ace is to gain instant family. We lived together for a few years when we were out of college and freshly in our early 20’s. In fact, this was when Ace met the core of her group of friends that she’s had ever since. Things were tough - we both had growing pains to get over…but a constant always was our support for each other. Even when I was making silly and young mistakes like being late on rent due to partying (I was not perfect), Ace would forgive me, crawl into my bed with me, and have talks to try and steer me to better ways of living and thinking. That is where I truly knew I gained a sister - someone who would protect me even when I didn’t want to protect myself. Now, I want nothing but to do the same for her ❣️”

“Fashion guru, businesswoman, comedian, and supermodel are all superficial adjectives that objectively encompass the talented Ace. I mean with a name like that she’s destined to make this world her b*tch. To her dear friends, she’s that and so much more. Those of us lucky enough to take deep dives with her see a beautiful soul with so much love and light that ripples to those around her. Where you really get to see her shine is when she’s with her children. Her elegantly poised Ella and her “life or the party” son Roman is her fruitful branches that are already destined to make ripples just like their mother. We appreciate your contributions in helping our dear friend Ace have more peace of mind so she may be able to rest on the days when she’s too weak and help liberate a portion of her medical expenses. Part of the contributions will also be going toward maintaining Ace's confidence by helping her say, “Yes, to the wig!”
