Help Shanae’ Fight Cancer!

Hello my name is Katie Ryan. I’m organizing this fundraiser for one of strongest most willful people I have have ever known. My cousin has recently been diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer. Shanae’, is a mom to 4 children. She has also taken in her niece.

 

Shanae’ is a very independent person. But, because of the physical nature of her job she has been advised by her doctors not to work during this time. Also, because of the ongoing pandemic she is now considered very high risk with Covid restrictions

 

Shanae’ will begin Chemo therapy on Monday. Already the demands of appointments and transportation have been difficult.

 

Her mom Dena has been trying to take her to all the appointments so she doesn’t have to go alone. The gas and the time away from her job are stressing an already tight financial situation.

 

Nobody plans for something like this. She Just turned 37 years old. After overcoming an anomaly of a heart defect that caused her to have a stroke at 34, Shanae’ will now begin another battle. My hope of creating this account is to relieve some of the financial burden that is facing her and her family, due to this aggressive form of breast cancer.

 

Shanae’s strong will is absolute. It’s completely infinite.. Boundless. She will persevere.

 

Please donate whatever you are able. Any amount is helpful right now. Our hearts are so sad right now as we all try to absorb the shock we feel and what she must have felt the moment she found out.

 

My mind is continuously playing the beginning of that Martina McBride song. My heart is praying for continued strength for Shanae’.

 

Thank you all,

 

……

 

“She dropped the phone and burst into tears

The doctor just conformed her fears

Her mom held it in and held her tight

Cancer don't discriminate or care if you're just 38

With four kids who need her in their lives

She said, "I know that you're afraid and I am, too

But you'll never be alone, I promise you….”
