There are moments in life that divide everything into “before” and “after.” The day our mom, Amy, was diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer became one of those moments. One that shook us deeply, but also revealed something extraordinary: the depth of her strength, and the power of love that surrounds her. Our mom is the one who holds us together through life’s storms, and who shows up during hard times categorically optimistic. For all that know her, you know she lives and loves loud. She lives an adventurous life, and takes advantage of each moment regardless if she is scuba diving, parasailing, sky diving, ice climbing, or sitting at home with family and friends. But life has a funny way of shaking things up... Despite our mom's endless journeys, this is one we were not expecting. Now, she faces a battle that asks everything of her. And yet, even in the face of uncertainty, she continues to show courage in its purest form: choosing hope, choosing to fight, choosing to be optimistic in the path of the unknown. This journey has not come without hardship. After losing her job in February, the weight of medical expenses and treatment options will be enormous. As her children, it’s incredibly difficult to watch someone who has given so much now carry so much. One of the many things we hope to provide for her is a wig—something that may seem small, but holds deep meaning in helping her reclaim a sense of self during this fight. Our mom is not alone in this. She is held up by the unwavering love of her partner, Nate, who stands beside her with strength and devotion, and by her children—Ruben, Raul, and Lexxy, and granddaughter Isabelle- who are walking every step of this journey with her. Together, we are her foundation, but even the strongest foundations sometimes need support. We are asking you to stand with our mom. Be her wave warriors along the depths of this new journey. Not just through a donation, but through belief. Believe in her strength, in her healing, and in the possibility that exists when people come together in compassion. Every contribution becomes part of her fight. Every share carries her story further. Every prayer, every kind thought, becomes a thread in the safety net holding her up. We believe with everything that her life will not be defined by this diagnosis but by the courage she shows in rising back to the surface. Thank you for being part of her fight, her hope, and her healing. With endless gratitude, Wave Warrior, Lexxy Huntsman - Amy's Daughter
