My name's Amanda and I'm 40 years old with a beautiful 4 year old daughter named Autumn and a wonderful fiancé named Jack. On Aug 14, 2025, at just 39 yrd old, I was diagnosed with Stage 3 Grade 3 Triple Negative breast cancer that's spread to the axillary lymphnodes. I am doing chemo therapy every week for 24 weeks. Surgery and radiation will follow and then a little more chemo and/or immunotherapy. Triple negative means its a more aggressive and faster growing cancer than most and not responsive to hormone treatment.
I am making this Go Fund Me hesitantly and with a little embarrassment, to be honest. It's not in my nature to ask for help, but I've had so many people offering to help but not really knowing what to do. I must admit that finances are my biggest worry.
My daughter is autistic level 3 nonverbal so she has multiple therapies of her own that she goes to. Her birthday is also in Oct and then of course the holidays. I have to travel to Corbin for my chemo appointments, scans, and then random doctor visits thatre always coming up. I also have to pay for childcare when I have all these appointments.
Jack works full time to take care of us and does an amazing job but he's having to miss work occasionally to take me to appointments.
If you want to help, financially would be the biggest blessing for me right now so that I don't have to stress over money while fighting cancer.
The money will be used for regular household expenses, childcare, meds at the pharmacy that insurance doesn't cover, vehicle maintenance and maybe some scarves and/or wigs. Thanks for taking the time to read this.
