Amanda's Battle to Conquer Cancer

Donation protected
Hi friends and family. My name is Jill and my strong, resilient, sister-in-law Amanda, has just received a diagnosis of breast cancer. After years of struggling with endometriosis and infertility, Amanda and Clark's dream of adopting a child came true in 2022. When their daughter Marika arrived, it seemed that the struggle was over. Fast forward to March 13th, 2025, Amanda learned that she needed a biopsy which has since been identified as Triple Negative Breast Cancer, stage 3. To say this news was unexpected for Amanda and Clark, would be an understatement. But showing up to a big fight is nothing new for this family!

Things are moving fast and Amanda has already started chemotherapy. This means 3 months of treatment, multiple medical appointments and surgery, as well as additional treatment down the road. Fighting cancer is now Amanda's full time job!

As the community of people who love and support Amanda, Clark and Marika, we want to rally around them and help ease the financial burden of an unexpected illness. So many people have already asked how they can help and this is one of the quickest ways we can support them as Amanda's intense treatment begins.

Thank you in advance for your love and support for Amanda!
